Devolver Digital has announced that the turn-based stealth-action-platformer Ronin is now on Steam Early Access. Tweaks to difficulty, controls, and other aspects of the game will be made during the final pre-launch phase, which is expected to last about a month, but otherwise it’s “99 percent complete” and ready to play.
Ronin is an unusual thing. It’s an action-platformer, in which you play as a modern-day ninja seeking vengeance against the heads of a powerful corporation, and it’s turn-based, meaning that every move you make can (and must) be carefully planned to ensure you don’t leave yourself overly exposed in one of the game’s plentiful combat bits. A demo was released last month, but now you can leap directly into the (almost) full game.
“Ronin is a game of precision and timing so our team has worked with beta testers, other developers, and third-party testing studios to really test and tweak the near-final game,” developer Tomasz Waclawek said. “Our goal is to extend this type of testing and iteration to a much larger audience to hopefully perfect Ronin, and Steam Early Access is the perfect method and forum for honest feedback.”
