Rise of the Ronin is both approachable and difficult, depending on the player’s preference.
in The next big PlayStation 5 exclusive will be released in less than two weeks. Rise of Ronin Looks like we’ll be rivals Sekiro and ghost of tsushimastands out as the best samurai ninja action game on consoles.
Learn more in our behind-the-scenes video. RoninIn Combat, developer Team Ninja explained the game in quite a bit of detail in a 10-minute demo.
before covering Roningameplay and how it works, Sun Let’s take a look at the difficulty modes.
as gently or as harshly as possible
Ronin It starts with three difficulty levels: Dawn (Easy), Dusk (Normal), and Twilight (Hard). Players can switch from one difficulty mode to another at any time.
Are bosses in Dusk or Twilight taking too long? Try lowering the difficulty level. Do you want to play for a few hours and enjoy the story, or do you want to explore without thinking? Switch to Dawn.
According to the developers, Dawn will include additional settings such as increased health recovery with medicinal items and reduced Ki (stamina) consumption during combat.
There may be hidden or more difficult difficulties in the future, but that is just a guess. Ronin Hardcore players tend to want a harder difficulty level than the basic version of the game.
fight like a samurai
in Rise of Roninthe player controls a – Surprise – Ronin (Samurai without a master).
meanwhile game informerIn a preview of the game, Team Ninja referred to the character as “Veiled Edge,” but it didn’t have an official name, if it even had one. In this article, the character will be referred to as Ronin.
Every enemy and player in the game has a health bar and a Ki (energy) bar. Combat involves a delicate, metaphorical game of chess, with both the player and the enemy AI trying to break the opponent’s Ki bar and damaging their health bar.
Defense against attacks can be done by guarding with L1, but players with fast mental processing power and reflexes also have the option of parrying and directly reducing the enemy’s max Ki.
Timing enemy attacks, players can press triangle to “counterspark” enemy attacks. If timed correctly, this maneuver will deflect incoming blows towards the enemy, reduce their Ki, and stun them.
However, what a ronin does to an enemy can be done back to a ronin. When a player’s energy is depleted, they will be unable to run away or attack. Like other games in the “Soulslike” genre, Ronin rewards aggressive and smart play and punishes players who play too defensively.
invisible armory
Similar to existing similar games, Ronin carries around an invisible bag containing his entire arsenal and switches between bags depending on the situation.
According to Team Ninja, Ronin will feature swords, spears, twin blades, bayonets, sabers, bows, and firearms for players to use.
Each weapon has its own unique style that draws from different schools and disciplines of martial arts, and each has its own version of normal attacks and unique combat skills.
by playstation blogAs players meet and bond with characters they meet, they acquire new fighting styles throughout the game.
Similar to Team Ninja’s previous two Nioh In the game, Ronin’s different enemies have different weapons and the player needs to know how to react and counter each one. Adaptability is key in large-scale battles where multiple enemies use different weapons.
The game has three stances called Ten (sky), Chi (earth), and Jin (human).
Rise of Ronin It’s shaping up to be a typical Team Ninja game, and that’s a compliment. The game looks like it combines everything that made the developer’s previous games great, fused into a single entity with solid gameplay and deep mechanics.
The game will be released exclusively on PS5 on March 22nd.
