Evaluation

NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor's Edge is one of three games included in the NINJA GAIDEN: Master Collection, which launched on June 9, 2021. The store description explicitly states that the collection includes "all of the previously released game modes and DLC costumes for each title" — meaning this is a complete package of existing content, with no new content planned beyond what was already included in the original releases. After launch, the developer issued two technical patches: one on June 28, 2021 to address display and resolution options, and a second on July 12, 2021 adding further graphics settings to the options menu. The June 28 patch noted that graphics options would be added "in a future update," which was fulfilled by the July 12 patch. No further developer communications have been made since July 12, 2021. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced future content, no roadmap, and no post-launch content pattern. The collection was released as a finished package of previously published games, and the only post-launch activity was technical polish to bring the PC version up to standard. Development appears to have concluded with the July 12, 2021 patch.

[About NINJA GAIDEN Σ]


In addition to being able to pull off unmatched dazzling techniques with "Ryu Hayabusa", a young ninja who has inherited the ninja arts of the Hayabusa style, with beautiful stages in a westernized Japan embellished with spirit-world motifs, and more, the game is packed with features that are a must-play for any fan of action games.

■The epic story can easily be enjoyed with "Hero Mode"
When you select the difficulty setting "Hero Mode", Hero Mode is triggered when your health becomes low. With Hero Mode, you will guard and evade automatically, and can unleash ninpo as much as you want. Even casual action gamers will be able to feel the heroic thrill of escaping a pinch to turn the tables on the enemy and advance the game. Needless to say, difficulty modes that will satisfy hard-core gamers are also included.


[About NINJA GAIDEN Σ2]


Become Ryu Hayabusa, the ninja who inherited the "Dragon Sword", a legendary blade, and once again experience high-speed ninja action in which you face battles all over the world. The game is also packed with additional features such as "Hero Mode", a mode in which the player will guard automatically when they are in a pinch.

■In "NINJA RACE", life or death depends on speed
"NINJA RACE" is a mode in which you must race across the map within the time limit while fighting high-speed battles. In this mode, the number of enemies you defeat in succession is counted as your "CHAIN", and by stringing together a high chain, your attack power will increase dramatically. Also, you can pick up speed-up and time increasing items along the way, so attacking non-stop, defeating enemies as fast as possible, and gathering items will be essential to your strategy.

■Along with Hayabusa, 3 heroines dazzlingly dash about the battlefield
Heroines from the "NINJA GAIDEN" series, "Ayane", "Rachel", and "Momiji" appear as playable characters. With "TAG MISSIONS", players can select 2 characters from among Hayabusa and the 3 heroines, allowing them to switch between 2 playable characters as they complete their mission.


[About NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor's Edge]


The ultimate high-speed ninja action has returned! The game offers both extreme "challenge", along with an equally extreme "sense of accomplishment". Experience the series' most alluring high-speed action.

■In addition to Ryu Hayabusa, Ayane, Kasumi, and Momiji join the battle!
In addition to main character "Ryu Hayabusa", the 3 female ninjas "Ayane", "Kasumi", and "Momiji" can be used as playable characters. And they aren't limited to just the "Chapter Challenge" story missions - the 3 characters can also be used in "NINJA TRIALS". Also, "NINJA GAIDEN" series heroine Ayane has a dedicated story.

■Thrilling battles where you must be constantly alert
"Tests of Valor", a special phase for series fans who want to enjoy battles even further, have been included. In each chapter, there are hidden skulls that serve as gates to "Test of Valor" areas. By stepping foot onto these areas, battles will occur where players must face the fiercest and strongest enemies from the "NINJA GAIDEN" series.

■Upgrading characters adds more replay value!
By collecting hidden "Golden Scarabs", using "Karma" collected in battles, and more, players can unlock new weapons and ninpo to upgrade their characters. Of course, upgrades you have applied can be carried over for 2nd and successive playthroughs. Among moves that can be unlocked, there are moves that are new to the series, such as "Cicada Surge", which allows you to dodge any enemy attack, "Meditation", which allows you to consume your Ki gauge to recover health, and more.
