Rise Of The Ronin Hides A Cool Nioh Easter Egg

The biggest highlight of the Bandai Namco sale, which runs until September 20, has got to be Tales of Arise. The 2021 RPG is the latest entry in the Tales of series and a fantastic point of entry for newcomers. Like with a new Final Fantasy, you don’t need to know anything about past games and can just go in blind. Tales of games have a real-time combat system that puts you in a small arena with the enemy and your party, where you can execute commands to do damage. This can be a boring or downright messy system in some entries, but Arise brings a smoothness to the system that makes it a breeze. Dealing damage while also instructing your party to lay down support or trigger special synchronized attacks feels incredible, especially in the game’s climactic boss battles. The story, however, is where Arise really shines. It exemplifies the best of the series, bringing together an easy-to-love cast full of well-written characters who go on a whirlwind adventure to save the world. There’s classic fantasy, sci-fi, and lots of romance to enjoy.

Meanwhile, Koei Tecmo is running a sale of its own, which runs until October 7, and is the perfect place for Soulslike fans to pick up some gems. Outside of FromSoftware, the inventor of the genre, Koei Tecmo’s Team Ninja has continuously delivered some of the better Soulslikes around. That began with 2017’s Nioh and continued with Nioh 2, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, and this year’s excellent Rise of the Ronin. Besides its most recent title—which is a PlayStation 5 exclusive—all of Team Ninja’s best games are a bargain during the sale. Nioh 2 might be the best one out of the bunch, thanks to how it builds upon its predecessor and introduces new mechanics like the ability to use enemy powers. If you’ve only experienced FromSoftware’s take on the genre it created, trying out Team Ninja’s catalog will be a nice change of pace.
