Ronin Rush Is A Slice Of Life (And A Katana) For A Samurai's Perspective

Studio Thunderhorse is diving back into swordplay with Ronin Rush. Perhaps a teeny bit of a generic title that could easily be missed, but when you consider that this is the same team behind Flynn: Son of Crimson, you have to ask the question: Do I feel lucky, punk?

You could ask that question, though it’s totally irrelevant. Instead, make a note of this upcoming slice ’em up with a very Japanese theme. Do the right thing, and wishlist it once you’ve kindly read through this <ahem> document.

Ronin Rush is based on a 2015 iOS game called Samurai Blitz, and this is a much bigger and better remake. As if you need any persuading to check this out, you’ll be darting through yokai-infested lands wielding all manner of tools like kunai, weapon arts, spirit abilities and a trusty katana.

We see Ronin Rush as a bigger and better version or remake of Samurai Blitz, a game we launched on iOS back in 2015. Bringing this game to PC and consoles is something we’ve always had in the back of our minds, so we can’t wait for more players to experience it!
