Every weapon type in Rise of the Ronin comes with its advantages and disadvantages. The new title from Team Ninja makes full use of its Japanese setting during the Edo period, offering players weapons that befit the warfare of the time. The developer is an old hand at adding fluid, traditional combat to its games, and the weapons and combat styles in Rise of the Ronin showcase quite well. And if players are just starting and don't have a lot of time to play, they must avoid some of the biggest early-game mistakes.
