Rise of the Ronin, the much-anticipated action RPG from Team Ninja, is currently being offered at a bargain price of $30 on Amazon and Walmart. This deal comes courtesy of Walmart’s Black Friday Sale, with Amazon keeping up the tradition of matching such offers. However, there’s a catch: if you order from Amazon, you might be waiting until February 2025 for delivery! So, it may be wiser to snag it at Walmart if you’re eager to dive into the game sooner.
Set against the backdrop of an important era in Japanese history, Rise of the Ronin throws you into a thrilling, fast-paced action experience. You’ll encounter historical figures, occasionally cross swords with them, and play a role in steering Japan towards a new dawn. Fans of Team Ninja will recognize the signature Souls-like combat style here, but don’t be put off—it’s designed to be both accessible and deeply rewarding as you hone your mastery over a variety of weapons, especially the katana.
Phil Hornshaw from GameSpot shared his insights in his Rise of the Ronin review, noting, “While it’s not perfect, I wrapped up the game with plenty left to explore, and even after spending 50 hours, I’m tempted to revisit to catch what I missed and maybe alter history.” Furthermore, Phil pointed out that although the combat rhythm takes a bit to grasp, the intensity and complexity make for exhilarating battles that feel incredibly satisfying when you claim victory. Rise of the Ronin may take some time to master, but the journey is undeniably worth the effort.
