The Last Ronin Brings the Ninja Turtles to the World of Blockbuster Games

The Last Ronin, a recently released action-adventure game from developer 26-year-old Turtle Rock Studio, is a big win for both fans of the Ninja Turtles franchise and gamers alike.

Based on the four Turtle heroes – Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael, and Leonardo – The Last Ronin sees the titular heroes battling through a post-apocalyptic world as they seek revenge against the mysterious Foot Clan. With battles fueled by fast-paced ninja action, sprawling levels, platforming elements, and plenty of secrets, the game has been praised for its unique take on the classic franchise.

But it’s the game’s status as one of the first blockbuster games based on the Ninja Turtles franchise that really makes The Last Ronin so fascinating. Quite simply, this game has brought the Ninja Turtles from niche comic-book property to a bonafide gaming juggernaut.

At its core, The Last Ronin is a game that successfully captures the essence of the Ninja Turtles franchise. From the dynamic action sequences to the hand-drawn aesthetics, this is a game that could have only come from a developer backed by decades of expertise in the art of side-scrolling adventures.

But arguably, the most impressive aspect of The Last Ronin is its potential to be a popular fad with gamers. The Last Ronin feels a lot like a classic retro title, with its simple-yet-intense combo-oriented gameplay, but it has been upgraded to a modern version – something that gamers of all ages can get into.

The Last Ronin also carries a lot of potential as a movie tie-in. After all, the Turtles have had an iconic legacy on the silver screen for over thirty years and that’s why many are already speculating that the cinematic version of The Last Ronin could become the definitive Ninja Turtles film.

So, no matter your game preferences, The Last Ronin is a game that’s definitely worth a look. With fast-paced ninja action, sprawling levels, and a movie tie-in that could become the defining Ninja Turtles movie, The Last Ronin has the potential to become one of the biggest blockbuster games of 2021.
