drahkon Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Quote Rise of the Ronin is a combat focused open-world action RPG that takes place in Japan at a time of great change. It is the very end of a 300-year long Edo Period, commonly known as “Bakumatsu”. Set in the late 19th century, Japan is facing the darkest of times as it struggles with its oppressive rulers and deadly diseases while western influence permeates as civil war continues to rage between the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Anti-Shogunate factions. Here in this time of mayhem, you embody a Ronin character, a warrior bound to no master and free to make choices of its own. Rise of the Ronin is a new Team Ninja experience that will immerse you in an historically inspired world while bringing together its renowned combat action with Katanas and the likes, with new firearm weaponry that depicts the unique personality of its time period. PSBlog Announcement of the show for me. It's a shame it's still so far away, but there's enough to play in the meantime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcubed Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 The combat gameplay looks good... shame that it seems to be an open world game, I would've been interested otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Demo has dropped which carries progress into the full game: Quote A free playable demo of Rise of the Ronin is now available for download on the PlayStation Store. You can enjoy the battle with Gonzo, which was mentioned at the beginning of the article, and your save data can be carried over to the full game. For those of you who have not yet played Rise of the Ronin, we encourage you to explore its vast and beautiful world. Still surprises me that more companies don't drop a demo once sales for a game start to die down, especially once a game reaches that point of being 4-6 months removed from launch and can still be a bit awkwardly priced 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Guess I'll check out that demo then... no feedback from anyone on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Not a bad game but I'm still a little confused why it was made. It's essentially Ghost of Tsushima, Assassin's Creed, Nioh and Sekiro all rolled into one. The problem with this is that it takes from each of these games but doesn't improve or excel in anything that has inspired it. It's still a decent game but it's a very by the numbers experience. It's very easy to see why it didn't set the charts on fire and why there has been very little chatter since it was released. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 The Sekiro comparison is mainly due to the combat. You can hack and slash your way to victory but it's much quicker if you learn the timings of attacks and then counter to bring down the enemy stamina bar. These leaves them wide open for you to inflict a stupid amount of damage, especially if you are using a handgun/pistol as a secondary weapon.

Happenstance Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I need to get back to Ghost of Tsushima again. I'd kinda of had my full after the first section but I've recently wanted to get the PC version to mess around with in handheld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
