Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge is an action game released in 2012 for the Nintendo Wii U, and later for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in April 2013. The game follows the elite master ninja Ryu Hayabusa, whose story takes place after the events of Ninja Gaiden 2. It also features a separate storyline for Ryu's kunoichi ally, Ayane, who stars in her own unique missions involving the return of the Black Spider Clan. The gameplay mechanics include the use of the Wii U GamePad for selecting weapons, performing Ninpo, and viewing additional game information. The game retains elements from Ninja Gaiden 2, such as instant kills and dismemberment, and introduces new features like the 'Steel on Bone' technique and 'Bloody Rage' mode. Players can upgrade their weapons, Ninpo spells, and character traits using Karma points. The game also includes online cooperative gameplay and a Chapter Challenge mode with playable characters like Ayane, Kasumi, and Momiji. Razor's Edge was developed as a response to fan feedback on the original Ninja Gaiden 3, addressing several issues and adding new content. Critics praised the game for its improved combat system, additional features, and the return of challenging gameplay that fans of the series had come to expect. Despite some criticisms on the story pacing, the game's violent and intense action, along with its upgraded mechanics, made it a standout title in the series. While it may show its age in terms of graphics, it remains a significant entry in the Ninja Gaiden franchise, known for its brutal difficulty and satisfying combat. The game received positive feedback for its enhanced features and faithfulness to the series' roots, although it did not achieve the same level of critical acclaim as some of its predecessors. It is notable for being one of the first games to receive an R18+ classification in Australia and for its mature content, including violence and crude humor. In terms of current popularity, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge is remembered fondly by fans of the series for its challenging gameplay and the improvements it brought over the original Ninja Gaiden 3. It holds a place in the history of action games for its intense combat and the evolution of the Ninja Gaiden series.
