Where style is your greatest weapon.

<span class="bold">Ronin</span>, turn-based, stealth-based, awesome-based action release, is available DRM-free on GOG.com! Get it for Windows (with Linux and OS X versions coming soon), DRM-free on GOG.com with a 25% launch discount.

<span class="bold">Ronin</span> is a, wait for it, turn-based action platformer. Just think of the possibilities. It's a game in which you play as a brutally agile, precise and ridiculously cool masked warrior: a female killer on the prowl. Armed with a katana, piano wire, and the godlike ability to stop and think - you'll become a ruthless, calculating, bullet dodging killing machine. Ronin features a unique take on action platforming and turn-based combat, making each encounter equal parts puzzle game and deeply satisfying action encounter.

You can also pick up the Digital Special Edition, which includes a full color digital comic and the original soundtrack in MP3 and FLAC format.

Get your sword kiddo, we're out for revenge in <span class="bold">Ronin</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 25% launch discount will last for one week, until July 7, 2:59 PM GMT.


In the press:

"I’d say it’s like being Batman, but I think it’s more like being Batman if Batman ever said, “To hell with this crap”." --PCGamesN

"Ronin has struck upon a novel form of combat that feels so pat and pleasing that it’s kind of amazing it hasn’t been done before. [...] Combat which manages to be both balletic and intensely strategic – a rare combination.” --Rock, Paper, Shotgun

Turn-based? That might be interesting. I'll have to check out the demo.

Alright I tried the demo. It's very similar to Gunpoint but with a turn-based twist that actually made it more interesting (IMO).

That said, no excuse to keep that kind of requirements and then incorporate a bloody 30FPS lock. I checked Steam and the developer wrote: "Also, I did make a 60 fps version and I didn't like it:D"

Unbelievable.

I forgot. If anyone cares, at 1080p with AA, Vsync and LightFX, VRAM lingers around 1GB.

IAmSinistar: Welcome back. One trusts you are tanned, rested, and ready (for more abuse). :)

EDIT: Oh, and this game looks cool too. Somewhere between Mark of the Ninja and Not A Hero, stylistically. Both of which I enjoyed.
Thanks, I am rested but not tanned :P

omega64: Take a look at Gunpoint.
Indeed, my first though was it was Gunpoint visuals mixed with Mark of the Ninja. If it plays like that then I'm in.

Wheee, thanks for fixing that VRAM thing. Now take my money!

Don't really care about a 60fps version, I'd just like a hard version...

And keyrebinding, can't beb othered with devs who don't bother with that "feature".

Besides, it's regionally priced anyway (just with any devolver release). So it's a no-no for me.

I can live with the keybindings (though remapping is always a good option) but even in NG+ it isn't exceptionally tough, just got to keep moving until an opportunity presents itself to strike. The bigger problem is the occasional control glitch which can be detrimental to your health.

You have a qwerty keyboard right? Well, try playing that game with an azerty layout on your qwerty keyboard then go back and tell me this gain with a straight face...

Or Dvorak i'm sure, if memory serves me right the comma is where the w is... making wasd a very difficult thing to do :P

Curiously as i think about it, one of the few games i can recall that actually outright supports or references Dvorak was RingRunner (part of the plot curiously enough, selling Dvorak keyboards.. The sales pitch usually involved blowing up their ships if they didn't buy so...)
