Ronin

About

Ronin is a tactical action platformer where you control a girl seeking revenge against five men linked to her father's death. Each level tasks you with navigating vertical stages filled with enemies, traps, and environmental hazards. You plan moves in real time but execute them turn-based, adjusting position and timing to outwit foes. Combat relies on precise jumps, dodges, and weapon swaps to exploit weaknesses. The story unfolds through sparse dialogue and environmental storytelling as you progress through increasingly complex maps. Developed by Tomasz Wacławek of Flying Wild Hog, the game blends tight controls with challenging puzzle elements. It holds a 77 on Metacritic with praise for its clever level design and responsive mechanics. Players note the difficulty curve can be steep but fair, with optional retries encouraging strategic adjustments. The minimalist art style and atmospheric soundtrack complement the vengeful tone. Available on PC and PlayStation 4 since 2015, it remains a niche pick for fans of methodical platforming.
