Rise of the Ronin – Gameplay

0

After going through a fairly extensive character creation system for one blade and using a preset for our ally, we learn that our twin sheathed blades have undergone training all their lives for revenge on the Shogunate and when the first mission arrives, the pair find themselves incredibly overpowered. After the loss of a valuable ally, our lone protagonist continues their adventure in a surprisingly detailed open world in Rise of the Ronin.

Embark on an epic journey across war-torn 19th-century Japan in this combat-focused open-world action RPG from Team NINJA, the veteran studio behind Nioh and NINJA GAIDEN.

Japan, 1863. After three centuries of the Tokugawa Shogunate’s oppressive rule, the Black Ships of the West descend upon the nation’s borders and the country falls into a state of turmoil. Amidst the chaos of war, disease and political unrest, a nameless warrior forges their own path, holding the very fate of Japan in their hands.

Rise of the Ronin
Developer: Team Ninja
Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Platform: PlayStation 5
Release Date: 22nd March, 2024
Price: $69.99 USD

Available here – https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/rise-of-the-ronin/

Summary:

Recommended – Rise of the Ronin tells an interesting story in a realistic historical setting with some outstanding combat mechanics but lets its dated open-world design and poor performance drag it down.”

Hardcore platformers Hellstuck and Diamond Hands are now on Nintendo Switch

Hellstuck: Rage With Your Friends and Diamond Hands: To The Moon are two hardcore retro-style platformers that are just hitting the Nintendo Switch. The games are distinguished by their demanding gameplay based on precise jumping. Both titles were previously released on PC, where they were well-received by players.

The creation of Hellstuck: Rage With Your Friends and Diamond Hands: To The Moon is the work of the independent Terror Dog Studio, which also has titles like the cooperative survival horror Ultimate Zombie Defense to its credit. The versions for Nintendo Switch were prepared by the Polish company Ultimate Games S.A., which is also the publisher of both titles. The platformers are available in the Nintendo eShop both individually and in a more affordable bundle, the Rage Quit Bundle.

Hellstuck: Rage With Your Friends also on Switch. It’s time to escape from hell!

Hellstuck: Rage With Your Friends is a challenging platform game where the player starts in the deepest abysses of hell. The main goal is to escape from the 9 circles of hell, which will require precise jumping. The title is distinguished by its dark graphics and retro-style music.

The gameplay in Hellstuck: Rage With Your Friends is based on simple principles – the player can only move sideways and jump upwards. The key to success, or escaping the successive circles of hell, lies in precisely timed jumps. The game requires not only dexterity but also good planning of jumps, as one wrong move can result in a long fall.

The platformer created by Terror Dog Studio offers a single-player mode, and in local co-op mode, 2 players can play simultaneously.

The release date for Hellstuck: Rage With Your Friends on Nintendo Switch is set for March 6, 2024. The game is also available on PC (Steam).

Challenging platformer Diamond Hands: To The Moon is now on Nintendo Switch

In Diamond Hands: To The Moon, players are offered a unique opportunity to reach the Moon. This is an unconventional platformer with simple premises but is challenging to master. Its retro-style graphics add a distinctive character to this demanding platform game.

The gameplay in Diamond Hands: To The Moon focuses on timed jumps, allowing players to ascend to increasingly higher regions. Precision, calmness, and agility are crucial for success. Terror Dog Studio has prepared a variety of levels to overcome, humorously referencing themes like the stock market and a realm of chickens.

The title offers fun for single players and a local co-op mode for 2 players.

Diamond Hands: To The Moon was released on Nintendo Switch on March 6, 2024, and is also available on PC (Steam).
