The action camera can be activated in game by clicking the right thumbstick. However, this will give you very low combo scores and therefore less cash. It's cheap and total cheese, but you can use this attack to take down enemies easier than trying to fight them. By running up a wall and hitting Triangle or Attack, you perform a devastating attack. Your best friend in combat is the wall attack. When you land, go at them with your main weapon. You can get a quick combo on an enemy, leap into the air and tap Circle rapidly to chuck some shurikens into another enemy. To string combos, use your quick-fire shurikens. You can beat Ninja Gaiden without ever busting a 50-hit combo, but it won't be as much fun or as rewarding. The longer your combo strings, the fatter the essence you'll earn ( see below). You can also roll dodge by holding Left Trigger and tapping the Left Thumbstick in any direction.Ĭombat, in part, is all about combos. There's nothing more important than avoiding damage. Blocking is lightning quick, so you can attack and instantly block if you're fast enough. However, the most important button to know is L1, which blocks. Square is your faster, slash attack, Triangle is your heavy attack, and Circle is your ranged weapon. You have three attack buttons to worry about.

Combat Ninja Gaiden is a combat-heavy game and skill in battle is certainly going to be a major factor in the ultimate outcome (do well and live, do poorly and die).
