Quite short and very fun
It did not take me long to complete Ronin (about 5 hours, not counting new game plus), but what I played was action-packed and pretty engaging. There is not much plot - as far as I can tell the protagonist is hunting down five people to take his revenge against... something. It is not that important to the game anyway. The gameplay itself involves progressing through levels where the tasks are usually to hack a few computers or assassinate someone, followed by escaping on your motorbike. You navigate the levels in real-time until you are spotted by an enemy, at which point the turn-based combat begins. This is where the real fun of the game lies. In each turn you can either jump, kill an enemy with your sword or use a special skill. It is clear what the trajectories of your jumps will be and where the enemies are aiming. You are killed in one shot, so it is very important to think ahead. Especially in the later levels, when you might have 6 or more enemies all pointing guns at you, combat is tense and exciting. You'll end up learning the firing and reloading patterns of each enemy very well by the time you finish the game, as it's pretty much the only way you'll be able to find a gap in which you can kill an enemy without getting shot in the same turn. There is a combo-meter which fills up when you tackle (that is, jump into) or kill enemies and depletes if you don't do either of those things in a turn. You have to fill up the combo-meter in order to use your unlocked skills, which can be VERY useful. Speaking of skills, you get a skill point every time you complete all the optional objectives of a level (those being do not kill civilians, do not let an alarm be raised and kill every enemy). You use these points to unlock the skills from the skill tree. Believe me, you'll probably want to get as many as you can. I suppose the bottom line is that I found the gameplay to be very well done, but bear in mind that the game won't take long to complete.
Hilft dir das weiter?
