Rise of the Ronin is Koei Tecmos best selling game

Rise of the Ronin attracted largely muted reviews at launch, but like so many games that are overlooked by critics, it’s garnered a cult following. Many now believe this release is underrated – especially after public opinion has soured on the title that overshadowed it, Dragon’s Dogma 2. The good news for creator Koei Tecmo is that it is its best-selling title to date.

That’s according to director Fumihiko Yasuda, who stopped short of sharing any specific sales numbers with Japanese publication Denfaminico Gamer. Considering the game only launched in March on a single platform, that’s actually an impressive result, and Koei Tecmo will feel positive about the future, which is likely to include a PC port and discounts.

Nice, I have the game on my backlog, but currently busy with Paper Mario and Like a Dragon. But from what I played, it seemed interesting. Thoughts, SW? Do we have a hidden gem on our hands here? Looks like fans enjoyed it more than the critics (8.7 user score on metacritic).

The fact that this outsold nioh and nioh 2 is a bit sad to me. Those are much superior games. Oh well, I'm glad people enjoy it.

Also, I see Dragon's Dogma 2 mentioned in the article. That game is a sad shell of what could have been an awesome sequel. So disappointing. Rise even with its problems is probably a better game.

Ha! A game with Switch visuals sold that well? Wenzen is gonna shit a brick.

I keep saying, gen 7 graphics hold up. Give us that with higher resolution and better lighting, and y'all could cut dev times back down to 2-3 years.

Really? I find that kind of sad when you got Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden II.

Quite intrigue with this game. I may have to pick this one up in the future but there just too much game to play and less time to do it. If this landed on pc il give it a try.

@judaspete: No doubt. Spend way less on graphics, and put that into mechanics.

Meh...waaay too many samurai games coming out. You're better off just playing Ghost of Tsushima or waiting for one of the other million that are coming out.

Except for the ass creed one.
