NINJA GAIDEN Σ2 follows Ryu Hayabusa, heir to the Dragon Sword, through high-speed battles around the world. Its action centers on facing fearsome opponents at pace, while Hero Mode offers automatic guarding when the player is in a pinch. The game is included in NINJA GAIDEN: Master Collection rather than sold individually, alongside two other series titles.
The distinctive team element appears in TAG MISSIONS: choose two characters from Hayabusa and the heroines Ayane, Rachel, and Momiji, then switch between them while completing a mission. NINJA RACE takes a different approach, challenging players to cross a map before time runs out while fighting. Consecutive defeats build a CHAIN that increases attack power, and speed-up and time-extending items add decisions to the dash. The collection also includes previously released modes and DLC costumes, though the available characters and scenes vary by title.
The store listing specifically says online multiplayer is unavailable for Σ2's TAG MISSIONS, so its team format refers to switching playable characters rather than an online team match.
