Ninja Gaiden 4 Difficulty Options Include Hero and Master Ninja

Team Ninja, PlatinumGames, and Koei Tecmo confirmed four difficulty options for Ninja Gaiden 4. Hero is the easiest and is available alongside Normal and Hard when the game begins. Master Ninja is the hardest and needs to be unlocked by completing Story Mode. It also explained unique features for both Hero and Master Ninja.

Team Ninja and PlatinumGames noted that Hero is designed for Ninja Gaiden 4 newcomers and is the difficulty option that includes the most accessibility options. It is the only one with Auto Assist, Auto Block, and Auto Evade that automatically engage in those actions and shows cues to teach a person when they should act. It is also possible to turn those features off or on at any time at that level. Other accessibility options that can be enabled are Auto Heal and Auto Movement for platforming challenges.

As for Master Ninja, details about that Ninja Gaiden 4 difficulty level seemed focused on enemies. The standard and Enhanced D.D.O. soldiers appear right away and have more intelligent AI. There will also be greater numbers of enemies at checkpoints. Also, ahead of unlocking it, people can test out what it is like in their first Story Mode run by finding hidden Purgatory trials to see what it will feel like.
