In the open world action RPG, players become a masterless samurai in mid 19<sup>th<\/sup> century Japan during the country\u2019s turbulent Bakumatsu period. Some real-life historical figures appear in the game, and the surrealism of having famous faces like Commodore Perry visiting your house is amusing Japanese gamers. Please be aware that this article contains mild story spoilers and in-game screenshots from Rise of the Ronin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rise of the Ronin drops you right in the middle of Japanese history, and as a masterless samurai in the dying days of the Tokugawa Shogunate, you can meet various real historical figures like Shogunate opposer Sakamoto Ryoma on the one hand, and high-ranking feudal lord Ii Naosuke on the other. The story plays out depending on which ideologies you sympathize with and which faction you follow. As well as giving you an impressive arsenal of weapons to play with, Rise of the Ronin also lets you interact with an impressive range of people, regardless of whether they are from the pro-Shogunate (Sabaku) faction, the anti-Shogunate faction or foreigners from the West.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240329-29144-001.jpeg\" alt=\"Rise of the Ronin Commodore Perry longhouse\" class=\"wp-image-29151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240329-29144-001.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240329-29144-001-380x214.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240329-29144-001-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240329-29144-001-600x338.jpeg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the story progresses, you will gain access to a longhouse in Yokohama. Longhouses in Rise of the Ronin basically serve as your base of operations. You can rest between missions, change your character\u2019s appearance and specs, store items or send your dog to look for money. You can also decorate the interior, and the items you choose can give you buffs- for example scrolls and paintings can increase your acquisition of various in-game elements like weapon proficiency, coins and enemy item drops.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some familiar famous faces may drop in to your longhouse. This gives you the chance to talk to them, give them gifts, and improve your bond with the character and their faction. People turn up at random, though you can deck your house out with certain accessories that will appeal to individuals and increase the chances of them popping round for tea.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240329-29144-002.jpeg\" alt=\"Rise of the Ronin longhouse accessories\" class=\"wp-image-29152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240329-29144-002.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240329-29144-002-380x214.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240329-29144-002-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240329-29144-002-600x338.jpeg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of these famous visitors is Commodore Matthew C. Perry. Commodore Perry was an American naval officer who came to Japan in 1853 to demand that the Shogunate open Japan to the outside world, an event that became known as \u201cthe coming of the Black Ships.\u201d This was one of the incidences that contributed towards the domestic movement to overthrow the Tokugawa Shogunate. The beginning of Rise of the Ronin sees you and your Blade Twin accomplice sneaking on board a Black Ship to try to assassinate Perry. Your Blade Twin is killed in the botched attempt.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this, Perry seems willing to let the past be the past, and your relationship can become cordial as the game progresses. Perry\u2019s appearance at your longhouse despite your personal history, plus the fact that historical figures with opposing ideologies may drop in at the same time, seems to be blowing Japanese players\u2019 minds. The juxtaposition of serious faces from your history textbook against the relaxed atmosphere of the longhouse is just too surreal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u5742\u672c\u9f8d\u99ac\u3068\u6842\u5c0f\u592a\u90ce\u3068\u30da\u30ea\u30fc\u304c\u540c\u3058\u9577\u5c4b\uff08\u62e0\u70b9\uff09\u3067\uff88\uff6f\uff7a\u306e\u58f0\u3092\u805e\u304d\u306a\u304c\u3089\u304f\u3064\u308d\u3050\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u3001RiseoftheRonin <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nGsokWCAbB\">pic.twitter.com\/nGsokWCAbB<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30ae\u30ea\u30f2\u30c0@\u72e9\u731f\u7b1b\u306f\u3044\u3044\u305e(^\u03c9^) (@tutomu_ODGR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tutomu_ODGR\/status\/1773175674041200937?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 28, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Post translation:<\/strong> <em>Rise of the Ronin, a game where Sakamoto Ryoma, Katsura Kogoro (Kido Takayoshi ) and Perry chill out in the same longhouse while listening to the cat meowing.<\/em>\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30e9\u30a4\u30ba\u30aa\u30d6\u30ed\u30fc\u30cb\u30f3\u3084\u3063\u3066\u308b\u3051\u3069\u3001\u9577\u5c4b\u306b\u6842\u5c0f\u4e94\u90ce\u3068\u30da\u30ea\u30fc\u304c\u904a\u3073\u306b\u6765\u308b\u306e\u308f\u3051\u304c\u308f\u304b\u3089\u306a\u3044\u3088\u2026\u2026\u9762\u767d\u3044\u304b\u3089\u3044\u3044\u3051\u3069<br><br>\u5fcd\u8005\u306e\u96a0\u308c\u5bb6\u306a\u306e\u306b\u306a\u3093\u3067\u30d0\u30ec\u3066\u3093\u3060\u3088 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dOF5LaTXC4\">pic.twitter.com\/dOF5LaTXC4<\/a><\/p>&mdash; lunarga (@lunarga_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lunarga_\/status\/1772922786253603155?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 27, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Post translation: <\/strong><em>I\u2019m playing Rise of the Ronin but I don\u2019t get why Kogoro Katsura and Perry came round to my longhouse to have fun&#8230; It\u2019s funny but isn\u2019t this giving away my ninja safehouse?\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u9577\u5c4b\u3067\u304f\u3064\u308d\u3044\u3067\u3044\u308b\u30da\u30ea\u30fc\u304c\u9762\u767d\u3059\u304e\u308b\u3093\u3060\u3051\u3069<br>\u72ac\u306e\u524d\u3067\u8449\u5dfb\u5438\u3046\u306e\u3060\u3051\u306f\u3084\u3081\u3066\u6b32\u3057\u3044 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BFGt7psLPt\">pic.twitter.com\/BFGt7psLPt<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u306f\u308b\u306e\u304a\u304d\u306a (@choki_kanisan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/choki_kanisan\/status\/1772735170363150629?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 26, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Post translation<\/strong>: <em>Perry making himself feel at home at my longhouse is too funny but I wish he wouldn\u2019t just smoke his cigar in front of the dog.<\/em>\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30da\u30ea\u30fc\u3068\u7adc\u99ac\u304c\u540c\u3058\u9577\u5c4b\u3067\u304f\u3064\u308d\u3044\u3067\u308b\u3068\u304b\u30aa\u30e2\u30ed\u3059\u304e\u308b\u3084\u308d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yy47cpUYQB\">pic.twitter.com\/yy47cpUYQB<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30e9\u30fc\u30ba (@larz771) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/larz771\/status\/1772635760178372702?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 26, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Post translation:<\/strong> <em>Perry and Ryoma relaxing in the same longhouse is just too funny.<\/em>\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can quickly make connections with Sakamoto Ryoma and even the bandit chief Gonzo, resulting in them showing up at your house on occasion, which makes for an amusing sight.
