Lantern RoninThe Story

The Story

A lone ronin. A moonlit bridge. Everyone who crosses it has come for you. Enemies walk in from the left and the right and show their strike. Tap that side at the right moment to parry and cut them down. Three flames, then the night ends.

The Lantern

The bridge lantern burns the whole time and burns faster each night. Perfect parries refill it the most. When it runs low the bridge goes dark and you have to read strikes by moonlight. An empty lantern never ends the run on its own.

Lantern RoninTips And Secrets

Tips And Secrets

  1. Wait. A perfect parry comes late in the windup, when the enemy flashes brightest.
  2. Hit a staggered brute fast. That finishing cut always counts as perfect.
  3. Chase perfects when the light is low. They refill the lantern far more than good parries.

Lantern RoninTroubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Can I keep a run going?
Once per run, tap RELIGHT LANTERN and watch an ad to come back with two flames. Not in the Daily Duel.
Can I get more coins?
On the game over screen, watch an ad to double the coins from that run.
Do I need an account or a connection?
No. Lantern Ronin plays offline and saves on your device.
