Team Ninja's action-adventure/RPG mashup Rise of the Ronin was recently released, sending fans on an epic excursion through the last days of Japan's Edo period, during the mid-19th century. Rise of the Ronin is a more realistic take on a samurai-styled adventure, incorporating many real-life aspects, characters, and nuances of the time and setting. And while it may bear some surface resemblances to Sucker Punch Production's Ghost of Tsushima in this regard, beneath that, Ronin actually shares much more in common with another developer it has taken many cues and ideas from: FromSoftware.
