[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.

its "the worst ninja gaiden" in the same way dark souls 2 is "the worst dark souls"
its a 6 or 7/10 on its own, and its waaaayyyy better than most action games out there, but considering the series its from, its easily the worst and playing through it i feel the thought of "man i wish i was playing ninja gaiden 2" creeping up a lot

I could say a lot of things about this game, but I look at the reviews here and come to the conclusion that it's not worth it. It is what it is. But I will say this: it's the best single player action game I've ever had the pleasure of playing.

Arguably the best combat in the franchise, NG3RE has been unfairly maligned for quite some time. It significantly improves on the terrible original NG3 with vastly improved mechanics, encounters, and content. Strategies like UT spam and essence chaining are removed, which gives the combat a much different (and significantly harder) flow, but once mastered, it is excellent.
The girls are fully playable throughout the game and are at their absolute best, as is the Dragon Sword, Dual Swords, and Eclipse Scythe (other weapons are more mixed in implementation).
However, the game still suffers from the original's bad story and mostly terrible bosses. In addition, the increased difficulty means that the lack of healing items, extremely difficult encounter design, and new skill floor (no essence chaining) are very punishing. Additionally, many enemies ignore light attacks until bloodied, punishing players for experimenting with combos.
However, the game is still the fastest, most brutal game in the franchise and should be experienced just for it's combat alone, despite the blemishes it cannot shake off from the original 3.

killing people has never been more fun, unfortunately almost everything else about this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and infuriating to play that you'll want to kill someone for some design decisions made, so if you're a masochist its a pretty decent experience

This game is insane, after Vanilla NG2 this might be the hardest one. The combat options are definitely the highlight of NG3: RE. If anyone was put off by the state of Vanilla NG3 and thus did not give Razor's edge a try, do yourself a favor and please try it.
It might not be the 'best' (whatever that means, don't let anyone tell you whats the best for you :)) entry in the series but its by far one of the most fleshed out and on point action games of the last 20 years.
Some of the enemy encounters in this game will drive you nuts lol, but if you push through and learn the basics and the advanced stuff that Ryu can do in the game, you're in for a hell of a ride.
Game also runs amazing, might not be the best looking game by today's standards, but it definitely holds up. But frankly, the graphical fidelity or art direction or even the Story is not the point. Its all about the gameplay.
If you're someone clamoring to play something close to Vanilla NG2 without needing to own a Xbox series whatever, then this will definitely scratch that itch. Its just all combat and nothing else, it might get a little exhausting at time, so do yourself a favor and take a break haha.
All the best to all the Ninjas out there

This game is not for weak minded.It's not like previous games where you have insanely powerful shuriken cancels. Compared from previous titles, there is a little jank in the pacing of the game, but it is covered up by the insane combat mechanics. Regardless, Ninja Gaiden series is and always will be the Best Action Game in the world.

Razor Edge one of the bloodiest slice of katana. Oozes with gore and violence. Its not easy to understand the change of wind. This is different but its not as bad as those crying tears.
Major shift is made in everything. Well at least the game is less of a bs than first one that’s a hard fact. I think this is more fast paced and more forgiving in some way. No more dealing with unfairness. I actually did enjoyed it more than I should have not gonna lie.
You need to get more comfortable to the combat mechanics but there less annoyance and “camera fights”. Hard lock on objects help do more than you could. Bosses well designed and in more fair skill wait. No cheese and bunny humping while trying to mash everything and expect a miracle. Levesl are straight forward and no more figuring out what to do and where to go next. Pure adrenaline and blood.
Burning rage hand is fun mechanic. Very pleasing for ending combat finishers and reaching the satisfaction. Zero complain from me. This is one of the better games for sure. Don’t want to admit it you don’t have to you just failed to understand the game.
Koei Techmo-Team ninja still the best of the best in their combat designs.
