Rise of the Ronin is here and I have spent a few hours enjoying it. The game begins beautifully with a tale that is slowly unravelling to be something amazing. While I am not the biggest fan of the souls like combat mechanics, I am beginning to understand and appreciate it. Rise of the Ronin does spice things up by having an amazing skill tree, a bountiful character creator and various combat styles. How far all these can carry the game is something I plan on finding out.
Mace is a new and powerful melee weapon you can craft with a breeze rod and heavy core in Minecraft 1.21. These items are available only in trial chambers. Place the heavy core above the breeze rod and you'll make a mace. It deals 6 damage points, but the longer you fall the mace's damage will be higher. The mace also makes a smash attack which knocks back entities and negates all fall damage. You can enchant the mace with several useful enchantments and repair it with breeze rods in an anvil or with the mending enchantment.
