But the PC port sounds barebones
Master murderninja Ryu Hayabusa flipped onto PC today withtheNinja Gaiden: Master Collection, which bundles together the hack ‘n’ slash trilogy that ran between 2004 and 2012. They’re great games, and murderously difficult. Unfortunately, the first two games come as their Sigma versions (which many consider worse than the originals) and many players are reporting the PC port is hellla barebones. Shame.

The Master Collection packs fancied-up versions of Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. These aren’t the original releases, they’re revamps which each followed later. But NG Sigma and Sigma 2 are often considered worse versions, having not just added new bits but changed and removed some parts. It’s still Ninja Gaiden and that’s a good thing, but it’s a shame that we’ve waited years to not get the best versions.
Cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes from the originals are also absent. It’s nice to have these games on PC finally, and plenty of players seem happy with that, but yeesh.
Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection is outon Steamfor £30/€36/$36, which includes the 10% launch discount running until the 16th. It’s also on Switch, PS4, and Xbone.
