Team Ninja’s historical focus faithfully brings Bakumatsu-era Japanese cities to life, during an era when culture and technology clashed.
Rise of the Ronin was the best breath of fresh air I needed when it comes to feudal Japan and sword fighting. Playing a game where it’s a mix of Dark Souls, For Honor and a splash of Shadow of Mordor. I would be recommending this game to those who love Japan’s history and sword fighting, but just on the PS5. The reason is that this game killed my 3070, and I’ve had to regress to continue playing the game. I would have tested it on the Steam Deck, but I’m not willing to lose that too.
So, play this game on the PS5, but if you don’t have one, you can play it on PC. Just make sure it’s a Super edition or a 4080 just to be safe
Rise of the Ronin is an open world action RPG set in mid-19th century Japan, from the developers behind the Nioh franchise of action games.
Ahead of Rise of the Ronin launching on Steam today, RPG Site had a chance to talk to Yosuke Hayashi, Producer and Executive Vice President at Koei Tecmo, and Fumihiko Yasuda, Development Producer & Head of Team Ninja, about the PC version and more.
Now I hope they start developing Nioh 3! Those are my personal favourites. I loved Rise Of The Ronin but the openworld isn't as challenging as the close combat levels of the Nioh series in my opinion. I would love more Nioh a.s.a.p. ;)
