Rise of the Ronin, the fresh action-RPG from Team Ninja, is currently a steal at just $30 on Amazon and Walmart. This $40 markdown is part of Walmart’s Black Friday Sale, and as usual, Amazon isn’t missing a beat by matching the deal. But here’s the thing: Amazon’s delivery estimate is way off, with orders expected in… February 2025. So, if you’re eager to dive in soon, Walmart might be your best bet.
Set in a transformational period of Japanese history, Rise of the Ronin lets you step into the shoes of an outsider influencing events and clashing with legendary historical figures. The game offers a dynamic combat experience similar to other Team Ninja titles, with Souls-like mechanics. Yet, it’s more approachable and incredibly fulfilling once you master its combat system, featuring a variety of weapons.
Phil Hornshaw from GameSpot shared his insights in his review of Rise of the Ronin, noting, “While it has its rough edges, I came out of Rise of the Ronin with so much left to explore. Even after 50 hours, the urge to dive back in and experience more is strong. The engaging parts of the game significantly outweigh its shortcomings. Although it takes some time to hit your stride with the combat, the rewarding battles deliver a rush that’s undeniably thrilling. It’s a game that demands patience, but once you get the hang of it, the payoff is substantial.”
