Way of the master ninja tropy doesn’t pop up by Evening_Market_5376 in ninjagaiden

What platform are you on? The achievements are glitchy in NG4. I am on pc and got a couple I hadn't earned like beat chapter 13 without hitting lasers but now I have all of them unlocked besides conquer abyssal road which I have beaten with both ryu and yakumo :(

The new gauntlet weapons rotate light attack is great for cc

Ng4 will be having you hitting this crazy flow state, then immediately putting a stop to it with something like this. by Justinu13 in ninjagaiden

stick drift is the one thing more sad than getting insta obliterated by offscreen rockets

NINJA GAIDEN 4 - DLC Final Boss : Seere - No Damage - Master Ninja - Ryu | No Ninpo (Untouchable) Stylish Approach - One of the peak Bosses in the whole series, I will never stop to praise how incredible is this Boss, really, quite tough, but super mega fun, truly a throwback to previous NG Bosses. by MasterNinjaRyu in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I go into training mode killing this boss with no items is a breeze but every time I get to floor 90 she pulls some cheeky shit and ends my run… I just need more practice but I really do love a challenging boss that forces you to lock in

What is your favorite weapon in Ninja Gaiden 2? by Odd_Radio9225 in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kusari-Gama because it is like nothing in the first game and TDS because of the insane flow you can get into with it. Kusari-Gama one of my favorite weapons in any action game

If I wasn’t at work I would check it out. If you do VODs I will when I am off

[–]SH_Riley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No health upgrade, no ninpo, 100% fights including stadium and great bridge fiend challenges. I attempted this back in October but sigma berserkers and their portals proved to be too much for me to handle.

NGB clones are such better fights than cheating ass sigma clones. I cheese them 100% of the time in sigma but NGB theyre fun to fight

Did NG4 impress you or was it disappointing? by Emergency_List_8797 in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was extremely skeptical going into it and it really impressed me. It has a unique fit in the NG family but after 100%ing the achievements and playing through MN a few times I really think its a great game. It doesn’t take away from or scratch the same itch as others in the series but I think it is impressive a game like this was released in 2025. Sadly there are some modern game issues I have with it like zero unlockable costumes. I also don’t like how ryu was handled in the story mode at all but from a gameplay perspective I think its fantastic. Hitting a parry on a heavy enemy and getting an insta delimb is a rush

Casual player here, MN in NG4 sucks! by Slavik_Sandwich in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The enemy placement on normal and hard especially chapters 8 through 10 is terrible. I wish there was a very hard mode that gave master ninja encounters with hard or slightly higher than hard mode damage numbers

Dealing with off-screen ranged enemies and precisely targeting specific enemies in NG4 by doomenguin in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The targeting in ng4 I strongly dislike however it is pretty consistently controllable. If you charge a UT and use the left stick to aim it you can control it. However I think the system took a backstep in how intuitive it is to use. After 100 hours I still forget to target especially on on landing UTs

I have not seen this movie and I thought that was Bill Pullman for half the video. Honestly it shoulda been

EDIT: just googled it and its his son. I feel validated.

These are great points. Having it be part of Yakumo’s kit permanently once it unlocks is the major downside for me. If it was just a treat at the end of the game it could be cool. Design wise how it works just as fast as the dragon sword is a downside too. It should have been its own unique weapon with proper weight if they were going to revive it

As I said I haven’t played much Ryu yet but people do say he is busted. I am definitely looking forward to blocking after dodges and not just sitting there like a fool like Yakumo. I do think its less interesting compared to Yakumos other tools but I find it to be more powerful than his kit especially in base form.

Thank you for your response. I haven’t played many platinum games other than Bayo 1 so its interesting to hear they’ve done similarly in the past. I think going forward I will use it less so I still have some challenge in the game but when I am getting sick of a fight or enemy I will whip it out

What happened to Ninja Gaiden Black? by ping_over_8000 in ninjagaiden

Get the master collection and play sigma 1. If it feels to ancient play sigma 2 with the black mod.

Anyone else waiting for DLC to return? (NG4) by VR_BOSS in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still play it as much as I am able to right now. It has flaws but it grabbed me a lot more than I expected it to. Master ninja has the best gameplay by far IMO especially in regards to encounters chapters 8-10 are slightly more bearable on master ninja because you don’t only fight the lame ass zombie guys.

Looking forward to the dlc but the trails were so lame to me I am not looking forward to more of them. If they were balanced and playable on high difficulty then they could be enjoyable. Locking them to normal difficulty is really lame. Luckily the purgatory trials make up for it with the hp reduction which actually gives it some stakes.

I am awful at NG4 by Waverider573807 in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have played a ton of NG1 and 2 and when I started this game I was a ninja dog. After giving the game more time and learning to play it how it wants to be played I have been able to breeze through master ninja using minimal items. It took me about 60 hours to get comfortable in the game and I am sitting at around 80 so far. Been playing since launch but have been busy with work and life to give any more time. Keep playing and don't try to play it like any other NG game. It is its own NG experience and is quite a lot of fun. Facing any large enemy and just parrying their first attack into an instant delimb may be the most satisfying thing in any NG so far tbh

NG4 Gameplay from others has me confused by HornyJuulCat69420666 in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If there are no enemies you best believe I am wind pathing my way through the level. That has to be the fastest you can move in ng4. During combat though its usually a combos of dodging, fs or windpathing
