Rise of the Ronin is an action-adventure game by Team Ninja, which is set in late-19th-century Japan. The game places a lot of stress on the combat system, mainly because it is important to the overall progress of the player.

Without the right skills, weapons, and armor, it becomes extremely difficult to finish the story. This is true, especially if players have selected the highest possible difficulty. Players also have to make sure that they are using a combat type that suits their growth. Using the wrong style could prove to be costly, so it is better to have all the options available. In this guide, players will learn how to unlock all the combat styles in Rise of the Ronin.
