    Ronin is not a stealth game. The self-confessed Gunpoint rip-off is a frantic, physics-defying, blood-spattering, minimalist tale of revenge. It culminates in a superb final level, offering two equally powerful endings. And while its length might leave you craving more murder-fun, it does offer a new game plus: go destroy your enemies all over again, in style.

    Ronin is fun to play and its strengths more than overcome its weaknesses.

    It might look like a Gunpoint clone but instead of stealth you have to rely on your swordmanship in turn-based combat sequences. [09/2015, p.49]

    A cool futuristic city, amazing electronic soundtrack, deep tactical gameplay and splashy carnage — what a great combination.

    Ronin is a good, engaging and often difficult game that will certainly appeal to those who are intrigued by the mix of stealth, sword killing, and impressive jumps.

    Ronin's turn-based combat is a breath of fresh air. A solid game in spite of its brevity. [Aug 2015, p.64]

    Ronin is a really good independent production. Well thought-out mechanics, challenging gameplay and nice visuals make it hard to stop playing, and the interesting ending will surely bring a satisfying smile.

    Altogether, Ronin creates an entirely novel experience that’s given a solid boost from the sound and graphic design.

    Ronin is a turn based action game inspired by Gunpoint who can entertain you for a few hours, despite some control issues.

    If you love stylish action, but always find yourself wanting a little extra time to figure out the next tactical move, Ronin could be just what you’re looking for.

    Ronin has quite a minimalist style, which is fine, but again, some variety between levels would have been nice.

    A very stylish action-stealth game with a lot of personality with a very innovative turn based battle system that plays out as a puzzle.
