Does Rise of the Ronin Have Selectable Difficulties? – Answered

Suppose exploring Japan’s Edo period sounds like a dream come true, then Rise of the Ronin is the game for you. However, previous Team Ninja games have been rather brutal, so you may wonder if you can lessen the sting with selectable difficulties — let’s find out.

Can You Select Your Difficulty In Rise of the Ronin?

Much like Final Fantasy Origin: Stranger of Paradise, Rise of the Ronin does launch with selectable difficulties, allowing gamers of all skill levels to enjoy their journey through the Edo Period in as much peace as possible. Sure, there are still going to be some difficult fights waiting for you when you launch into this Souls-like, but you won’t need to worry about the game being brutally difficult if you don’t want it to be.

While some players may scoff at the thought of selectable difficulties in a game like this, it’s a great way to get new players to try out an exciting new genre. If it’s anything like Final Fantasy Origin, you’ll have the option to tweak your difficulty settings while playing the game, as well. This could be great for those who want to dip their toes in what the game has to offer, and then elevate the challenge once they’ve learned more about the intricate movement and combat systems, making the whole game feel like a proper dance of blades rather than a one-sided victory.

Which Difficulty Should I Pick in Rise of the Ronin?

There are a total of three difficulties available in Rise of the Ronin, with options available for Easy, Medium, and of course, Hard. Those who are looking to power their way through the game with the slight challenge occasionally rising should pick the Easy mode. For anyone who is looking for some challenge in their games and is familiar with the style of previous Team Ninja/Souls-like games should pick Medium. Those looking for the ultimate challenge and who have mastered previous Team Ninja titles should start on Hard.

It’s unclear if more difficulty options will be added in the future, but I could imagine that there are plenty of players who are looking for a game that will push them to their limits. Rise of the Ronin could be that title, so be sure to keep your eyes on our section below to learn more about the game.
