Imagine this: after 300 long years under the thumb of the Tokugawa Shogunate, here come the Black Ships from the West, shaking up everything and tossing Japan into complete chaos in 1863. Wars, sickness, you name it. In the middle of this storm, there’s this unnamed warrior carving out their own legend, literally holding Japan’s destiny in their grip.
You’re the Ronin here, the sword without a master. Your story’s yours to write. Depending on who you team up with or what choices you make, you’re gonna see things play out in a ton of different ways. Critical moments coming at you: will you take someone out or save them? It’s all in your hands, with a whole lot of options to choose from.
Now, let’s talk fighting. Brought to you by the brains behind Nioh and Ninja Gaiden, Rise of the Ronin’s combat is deep, but don’t sweat it. Moreover, it’s totally approachable too, no matter how you like to play. Get up close and personal with some melee action or pick off your enemies from a distance with guns straight out of the period.
