Features That Will Sharpen Your Ninja Skills

The game’s environments and characters have been completely redesigned to take advantage of modern hardware, creating a truly immersive and visually stunning experience.
- High-Speed Action: Engage in the fast-paced, visceral combat that the NINJA GAIDEN series is known for. Utilise a variety of weapons and techniques, from the iconic Dragon Sword to shurikens, Kusari-gamas, and tonfas, to unleash devastating combos and defeat your foes.
- Gore and Dismemberment: For those who enjoy a bit of over-the-top action, the game’s gore elements, including dismemberment and blood effects, have been enhanced to create even more visceral and satisfying combat encounters. (For those with a less squeamish stomach, the dismemberment feature can be toggled off in the options menu.)
- Additional Characters: Take control of three additional characters from spin-off titles: Momiji, Ayane, and Rachel. Each character offers a unique playstyle and adds variety to the gameplay experience.
