On March 11, the gaming community welcomed the release of the samurai action title Rise of the Ronin, developed by Team Ninja. However, the excitement was quickly overshadowed by the game’s immediate appearance on torrent sites, attributed to the absence of any anti-piracy measures.
Setting and Gameplay
Set against the backdrop of Japan in 1863, during the twilight of the Tokugawa shogunate, Rise of the Ronin invites players to step into the shoes of a ronin, navigating through a tumultuous landscape filled with conflict and intrigue. The game promises an immersive experience as players carve their own paths in this chaotic world.
Initial Reception
Despite the intriguing premise, early feedback regarding the PC port of Rise of the Ronin has been less than favorable. Players have reported a range of issues, including:
- Poor optimization
- Bugs that disrupt gameplay
- Unstable performance across various systems
As a result, many gamers are recommending that others hold off on diving into the game until patches are released, which are expected to address these concerns and enhance the overall experience.
