Team Ninja's latest action-RPG, Rise of the Ronin, is currently available for just $30 at both Amazon and Walmart. This $40 discount is part of Walmart's Black Friday Sale, and Amazon, as is customary, has matched the offer. However, be aware that Amazon estimates orders placed now will arrive in... February 2025. Therefore, you might want to consider purchasing it from Walmart instead.
Rise of the Ronin is a high-speed action game set against the backdrop of a crucial period in Japanese history. As an external agent, you'll encounter real historical figures, engage in occasional battles with them, and play a role in shaping Japan's transition into a new era. Similar to other Team Ninja games, Rise of the Ronin features Souls-like combat, but it's surprisingly accessible and rewarding once you master the art of wielding the blade and other weapons.
"While not without its flaws, I found that Rise of the Ronin left me with much more to explore, even after 50 hours of gameplay, and I was eager to return to uncover what I had missed and attempt to alter history," Phil Hornshaw noted in GameSpot's review of Rise of the Ronin. "The game's strengths significantly outweigh its weaker aspects. Although it took some time to get into the rhythm of its combat, the speed, complexity, and intensity of the fights make for some truly exhilarating battles that feel immensely satisfying to win. Rise of the Ronin may require some patience to fully appreciate, but the effort is well worth it."
