Blade of the Ronin: Gameplay and Controls

Gameplay overview

Start with a sword and a chosen name, then train, take contracts and enter tournaments. One-on-one duels rely on reading guard heights and timing swings with Ki. The game remains in development.

Duel mechanics

How do duels work? Watch the opponent’s High, Mid or Low guard, select an attack height and time a swing with Ki. Well-timed swings hit harder. The description offers guarding, parrying and countering, but specific keys were 未在官方页面找到 (not found on the official page).

Progression

How do I progress? Defeat twenty masters to learn secret stances, arts and blades. Swords, arts and stances improve through use. The game also offers contracts and tournaments, with wooden bokken fights by day and steel fights at night.

Save backup

How do I protect my save? The developer says saves live in browser storage and are lost if site data is cleared. From the main menu, use Settings → Save data to export a backup code. This is a save backup, not a reward code. The game is designed for portrait phone play and also supports PC, according to the developer.
