In the game, the enigmatic warrior Ryu Hayabusa must fight to lift a curse that threatens to destroy him. And now, players will have more weapons than ever at their disposal, with the choice doubled to six from the previous three: Sword, Claws, Scythe, -Dual Katana, Staff and Kusari-Gama. Each weapon will have its own unique strengths, and the number of available Ninpo has also increased to three from the previous one.
