Two productions were guaranteed to appear this Wednesday during the State of Playto know Stellar Blade And Rise of the Ronin. This action role-playing game developed by Team Ninja has everything to please fans of historical experiences in Assassin’s Creed And Ghost of Tsushimabut with a gameplay close to what has already been done in the Nioh, among others. Fans of the studio who are waiting for the game were able to enjoya fairly enriching overview of almost 4 minutes, to be reviewed below :
Climb rooftops in the blink of an eye using a grappling hook then glide through the air using the glider Avicula will allow us to travel smoothly around the world, not to mention our mount. The developers’ combat art will result in different postures and a counter system, but our character will not only fight with a saber and will be able to use various more modern weapons such as a flamethrower.
Game director Fumihiko Yasuda shared some additional details about his open-world game on the PlayStation Blog :
A Ronin’s Fight
You will be able to use a whole range of weapons to confront your enemies. In addition to the swords typical of Team Ninja games, Japanese spears and firearms (including foreign pistols) are at your disposal.
Note that there are also Western-Japanese weapons: use the fire pipe (a type of flamethrower) to burn clusters of enemies and detonate explosive barrels, or wield the bayonet rifle to parry weapons white and counterattack with a well-placed shot. Adapting your fighting style to your opponents’ equipment is crucial to gaining an advantage.
As any Team Ninja fan knows, timing is key in melee combat. The new trailer reveals a frenzied battle between swordsmen where stance selection, guarding and parries play an essential role in the outcome of the clash. You can also use a grappling hook to lure enemies during combat or even stealthily assassinate an unalert sentry. Finally, the grappling hook can allow you to propel yourself towards enemies to quickly get into contact.
Prepare to use every weapon in your arsenal to defeat the formidable threats that stand in the ronin’s path.
The crossing of Japan
Traveling through 19th century Japan can be done in many ways. Your grappling hook is not only useful in combat: it also allows you to climb onto roofs or reach other heights to gain an advantageous position in a flash. If you need to cross a wide open area to get from one objective to another, your trusty mount can help you cover that distance faster.
The ingenious Avicula is one of the most exhilarating travel options. This engineering marvel allows you to instantly extend a pair of wings to glide through the air. Players can sprint onto a roof, throw the grappling hook onto a high hanging point and deploy their glider to take advantage of their momentum and take flight. While gliding, you can adjust your direction and speed, fold your wings at any time, and run into enemies unexpectedly.
Player’s choices
Aside from choices during combat and movement, players have choices to make during missions and these affect the world of Rise of the Ronin.
In the trailer, we can see the player decide to help a man named Igashichi fight hostile guards. This choice immediately creates a bond between the protagonist and this character, which allows the player to get to know Igashichi better and unlock other features of the game. You will have to make choices like this with other characters in the game. game, like Ryoma Sakamoto, highlighted in a previous trailer.
The connections you choose to make impact how the story unfolds. However, there is no disadvantage to getting closer to one character at the expense of another. Consider this a good reason to start the game again after finishing it!
Rise of the Ronin is expected on March 22, 2024 on PS5, but also on PC. You can pre-order it on Amazon priced at €79.99.
