Like the developer's recent titles, the subject of difficulty is on\u00a0Rise of the Ronin's horizon. Previously,\u00a0Ninja Gaiden,\u00a0Nioh, and most recently,\u00a0Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty\u00a0have all sadistically challenged players who crave a steep mountain of difficulty. 2024 brings Team Ninja's next project\u2014Rise of the Ronin\u2014another foreign foray with a devilishly difficult attitude. One distinct trait in all games featuring Souls elements is the nature of its difficulty\u2014a common topic of discourse that's frequently debated.\u00a0Rise of the Ronin\u00a0looks to be more challenging, so let's see if it finally breaks the masochistic mold and gives you rare, almost unorthodox freedom in combat. Does Rise of the Ronin have difficulty settings to make it easier? Rise of the Ronin\u00a0has multiple difficulty settings\u00a0for you to choose from, allowing you to adjust the gameplay difficulty to suit your preferences and make the game easier if needed. In a complete deviation from the traditional no-punches-pulled brutality of recent Team Ninja software,\u00a0Rise of the Ronin\u00a0has difficulty settings\u2014three of them, in fact\u2014making it one of the most accessible and welcoming Team Ninja creations ever. Under a question on the official\u00a0Rise of the Ronin's PlayStation FAQ\u00a0that asks, \"Can I choose the difficulty setting of Rise of the Ronin?\" the response says, \"Yes. Rise of the Ronin includes three difficulty modes: easy, normal, and hard (referred to in-game as Dawn, Dusk, and Twilight) that can be changed at any time. Selecting Dawn difficulty unlocks additional settings, including the option to increase Health recovery from Medicine, and reduce Ki loss from attacks.\" Nioh 1,\u00a0Nioh 2, and\u00a0Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty\u00a0did have difficulty settings, but they were additional difficulty settings designed to ramp up the experience and make the action even more challenging and the actuality of death easier. This could prove to be a stroke of genius and increase sales for\u00a0Rise of the Ronin,\u00a0with gamers more inclined to tackle a\u00a0Souls-style game with customizable difficulty. It's handy information to know ahead of the full\u00a0Rise of the Ronin\u00a0release, and that's not all. We also know its\u00a0platforms\u00a0and whether or not it has\u00a0co-op multiplayer.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/rise-of-the-ronin-difficulty-settings-guide-e1709729372360.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1155589"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1155589"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1155589\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1155719,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1155589\/revisions\/1155719"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1155599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1155589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1155589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1155589"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1155589"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1155589"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1155589"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1155589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Does Rise of the Ronin have difficulty settings to make it easier? Rise of the Ronin\u00a0has multiple difficulty settings\u00a0for you to choose from, allowing you to adjust the gameplay difficulty to suit your preferences and make the game easier if needed. In a complete deviation from the traditional no-punches-pulled brutality of recent Team Ninja software,\u00a0Rise of the Ronin\u00a0has difficulty settings\u2014three of them, in fact\u2014making it one of the most accessible and welcoming Team Ninja creations ever. Under a question on the official\u00a0Rise of the Ronin's PlayStation FAQ\u00a0that asks, \"Can I choose the difficulty setting of Rise of the Ronin?\" the response says, \"Yes. Rise of the Ronin includes three difficulty modes: easy, normal, and hard (referred to in-game as Dawn, Dusk, and Twilight) that can be changed at any time. Selecting Dawn difficulty unlocks additional settings, including the option to increase Health recovery from Medicine, and reduce Ki loss from attacks.\" Nioh 1,\u00a0Nioh 2, and\u00a0Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty\u00a0did have difficulty settings, but they were additional difficulty settings designed to ramp up the experience and make the action even more challenging and the actuality of death easier. This could prove to be a stroke of genius and increase sales for\u00a0Rise of the Ronin,\u00a0with gamers more inclined to tackle a\u00a0Souls-style game with customizable difficulty. It's handy information to know ahead of the full\u00a0Rise of the Ronin\u00a0release, and that's not all. We also know its\u00a0platforms\u00a0and whether or not it has\u00a0co-op multiplayer.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/rise-of-the-ronin-difficulty-settings-guide-e1709729372360.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1155589"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1155589"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1155589\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1155719,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1155589\/revisions\/1155719"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1155599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1155589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1155589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1155589"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1155589"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1155589"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1155589"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1155589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
