Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ninja Gaiden III is a Stylish Action Hack and Slash game originally released in March 2012 for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.Set after Ninja Gaiden II (2008), Ryu receives a request from the Japanese government, after terrorists take the British Prime Minister hostage, demanding his appearance. Travelling to London, he meets the enigmatic "Regent of the Mask", who places a curse on Ryu's right arm, making him feel the pain and hatred of the people he killed, while sealing the Dragon Sword within his body. With the "Grip of Death" slowly consuming his body, Ryu has to defeat the Regent and his "Lords of Alchemy" before they remake the world within seven days.Ninja Gaiden III marks the return of scriptwriter Masato Kato to the series, who brought back story elements of the NES trilogy following their absence in the prior modern games. The game also featured competitive multiplayer, a first for the series.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In 2012, the game received an Updated Re-release for the Wii U (January 2013 in Europe), subtitled Razor's Edge. This version added traditional dismemberments, increased difficulty, additional weapons and upgrades, and additional playable characters (Momiji, Ayane and Kasumi). Ports for the PS3 and Xbox 360 were released in April 2013, which include all the downloadable content from the Wii U version already on the disc. Razor's Edge also is included in the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. | |

Score Multiplier | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_12ac916e | comment |
Score Multiplier: In Razor's Edge, after killing a few enemies, you enter "bloody rage mode", where your weapon/right arm starts to glow red: by holding triangle you can trigger an instant Ultimate Technique, but as long as you don't, a Karma multiplier will appear and increase each time you kill an enemy. Note than in the original Ninja Gaiden 3, the "red arm" was just the new way to activate ultimate techniques and didn't have any other function. | |

Tamer and Chaster | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_146e133b | comment |
Tamer and Chaster: The original release for Ninja Gaiden 3 really tried to make the series a little more grounded, with Ryu only equipping what he has in hand, no unexplained magic save statues, etc. That also extends in the attempt of toning down the provocative designs the series has been known for under Team Ninja's hands, all new females seen are dressed quite modestly compared to what the series has provided before, with only Momiji sticking out as she still wears her original outfit. Then comes the Razor's Edge re-release, the same way it tried to undo some of the attempts at making the series more grounded, it also brought back some of the risqué content, the new cutscenes with Ayane contain some little nudity and gratuitous breast jiggling. | |

Easy-Mode Mockery: In Razor's Edge, playing in Hero Mode reduces the experience earned in combat if the character's health drops to the level where guard becomes automatic (i.e. you would have died without it). | |

Perfect Play A.I. | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_3d276f04 | comment |
Perfect-Play A.I.: The Regent of the Mask in Razor's Edge can be quite infuriating, as he is mostly immune to Ultimate Techniques, dodges a lot and takes advantage of every little opening in your defense − and even his basic attacks deal quite a lot of damage. Dealing with him in higher difficulties requires a perfect knowledge of his pattern. | |

What Measure Is a Mook? | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_52b36340 | comment |
What Measure Is a Mook?: For a series that took much joy in slicing and dicing opposing mooks, Ninja Gaiden III attempted to turn this into a plot point. Also, when you perform the fire-dragon Ninpo the first time, mooks around drop their weapons and stop fighting; you have the choice to coldly finish them or let them live (it happens in Normal mode only). | |

We Don't Suck Anymore | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_6467d53 | comment |
We Don't Suck Anymore: Team Ninja admitted that they tried too hard to catch a western audience with Ninja Gaiden 3 and ended up neglecting old fans of the series. As a result, the massive changes made to the gameplay for Razor's Edge are a mix of backpedalling to Ninja Gaiden II's popular elements (dismemberments, Ninpos, fast weapons) and overhauling of 3's new mechanics (Ki system, Grip of Murder, Steel-on-bones), peppered with a few new techniques and features, and a difficulty cranked up a couple notches. They kept Hero Mode, though. | |

Indy Escape | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_651a8540 | comment |
Indy Escape: Ninja Gaiden III is quite fond of these, with notably two in Day 3 (the first to escape a napalm bombing, the second to outrun the T-Rex). Thankfully, it doesn't have too much of the Camera Screws these sequences usually have, since the camera zooms out a bit when an obstacle is close. | |

How We Got Here | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_80251be3 | comment |
How We Got Here: The original Ninja Gaiden III begins with the scene from the very first trailer of the game − a first-person perspective of Ryu coldly assassinating an enemy and removing his mask, with chaos in the background. The player gains control of Ryu as he fights a giant humanoid monster, before the title appears and the story flashes back to Day 1. Turns out the man Ryu is killing is Theodore Higgins, Brainwashed and Crazy into becoming the Regent of the Mask, and the giant monster is the Goddess using Theodore's daughter Canna as its vessel, wielding the Dragon Sword. | |

| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_8ebd7403 | comment |
Action Commands: Ninja Gaiden III may be the first game to have these with non-indicative button prompts during steel-on-bone attacks. Even if you're told to press Y, pressing X works just fine, and vice-versa. Since steel-on-bone chaining works only if you press X, you'll sometimes be better off disregarding the button prompt. Of course, you can also just turn the button-prompts off entirely... | |

Death-or-Glory Attack: Razor's Edge turned the stee-on-bone attacks into this. If you time it right, you can one-hit-kill an enemy before he grabs you − and repeat the attack on nearby enemies (a max-upgraded allows up to 4 kills in a row), and regain a tiny bit of health. If you don't, well, he grabs you. | |

Invisibility: The Ghosts in Ninja Gaiden III have an invisibily suit and will usually use it for surprise attacks or lob grenades at you from every direction. You can detect them with your shurikens and your bow, and they always turn visible when they attack, so they aren't that difficult to fight, but they still can be a pain at higher difficulties. | |

You stab him for what seems to be the finishing blow...but instead he grabs Ryu's sword, utters a few words to activate the Grip of Murder and fuses it into his arm, giving him a cursed Red Right Hand for the rest of the game. | |

This is quite surprising, as the story mode in the same game removed everything that remotely looked like an upgrade system. | |

Doppelgänger | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_c4b09e97 | comment |
Doppelgänger: The Epigonos from Ninja Gaiden III, and it comes in two forms: the first has Ryu's form, the second has a fiendish transformation and can switch between three weapons like Ryu. However, they're not as aggressive as the fiend versions and they easily fall for an Izuna Drop, even in harder difficulties. | |

Escort Mission | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_cfda0ecb | comment |
Escort Mission: A very brief, easy one at the end of Day 4 in Ninja Gaiden III, where you have to protect Canna as multiple Homunculi jump and attack you. Inverted in the same game during the trek to find Joe, as Momiji is the one escorting Ryu. | |

Spin Attack | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_d34590cf | comment |
Spin Attack: In Razor's Edge, the shuriken gets its own spin attack. Also most of the "hold-and-release" strong attacks in III involve spinning horizontally or vertically. | |

Video Game Sliding | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_d6b1fa46 | comment |
Video Game Sliding: Ninja Gaiden 3 has a sliding move that is useful as a dodge , an offensive technique to put enemies off balance, and a way to get under obstacles. It completes the trilogy's list of dodge moves with the first game's Unnecessary Combat Roll and the second's Flash Step. | |

Absurdly Sharp Blade | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_e0c00a95 | comment |
Absurdly Sharp Blade: Played in an odd way in Ninja Gaiden 3. Ryu's weapons can cut through metal, but not effortlessly − a good half of the QTEs in the game are button mashing to cut down turrets, spider tank legs or other armored equipment. | |

Nerf | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_e545e190 | comment |
Nerf: Ninja Gaiden III indirectly nerfed the Izuna Drop: it's still an instant kill technique, but tougher human-sized mooks have to be weakened before you can lift them up, so it's not quite as overabused as in previous games. | |

GameplayAndStoryIntegration | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_e6630c8b | comment |
Gameplay and Story Integration: Ninja Gaiden III makes a point of eliminating elements that "break the immersion". No Hyperspace Arsenal (Save for the extra weapons in Razor's Edge, but that's it), no statues that teleport you to a shop, no Essence Drop from dead foes and the save point statues are replaced by a falcon following Ryu. There are no healing items either: even in Razor's Edge, all methods for healing (Ninpo, meditation, steel-on-bone and save points) are performed directly in-game, except for life-upgrades. | |

This is quite surprising, as the story mode in the same game removed everything that remotely looked like an upgrade system. Razor's Edge rectifies story mode, but with a different mechanic: players will use Karma points to upgrade weapons, Ninpo, increase the life bar and gain new techniques. | |

Cruelty Is the Only Option | |
| Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) (Video Game) / int_fc25c2fb | comment |
Cruelty Is the Only Option: Ninja Gaiden III has sequences where you're forced to slowly descend on helpless, disarmed mook and mercilessly cut them down. While the first instance is a mook who just watched you dozens of his comrades and drops his gun, pleading for his life (and scared shitless), other situations has the mook dare you to kill them while lecturing you. The game cannot progress unless you kill them. Mercifully removed in Razor's Edge. | |
