Team Ninja's latest release, Rise of the Ronin, is a noticeable change from the studio's previous works in a number of ways. Having produced a number of well-received Souslikes that often contained supernatural elements and flavor to their worlds, Rise of the Ronin veers from these aspects and instead plants itself more firmly in historical realism territory, while also leaning towards the Soulslite end of the genre spectrum, involving less steep difficulty and learning curves than seen in the developer's other games.
