Ninja Gaiden 1 | Very Hard Difficulty Guide | Chapter 16 "The Dark Dragon Blade"
Ninja Gaiden 1 played on Very Hard difficulty! This is the original version for the XBOX--the one that preceded Ninja Gaiden Black. This original version, released in 2004, is not technically called "Ninja Gaiden 1," but I am naming it as such to minimize any confusion within my channel and its playlists. NG1 paved the way for the quality iterations that followed; namely, Ninja Gaiden Black (2005) and Ninja Gaiden Sigma (2007). So essentially, NG1, NGB, and NGS are all the same game, except that the latter two made many revisions (NGS most significantly).
I will be waging my campaign on "Very Hard" difficulty, which is the hardest difficulty available for play. There is no "Master Ninja" difficulty setting; Master Ninja premiered in NGB. "Very Hard" difficulty is actually not nearly as challenging as that same difficulty is on the other versions, mainly because each iteration added difficulty in terms of hit damage and stronger enemies. Regardless, the challenge is still there: Ninja Gaiden games have a legendary reputation of being unforgiving, and a victory on the highest difficulty setting is always rewarding.
This guide will contain 16 videos (one video per chapter). I will be getting all of the items and completing all of the Fiend Challenges.
I hope that this guide helps the struggling player, but more than anything else, I hope that it is enjoyed by all!
