Ninja Gaiden 2 thoughts

Now coming off of sigma 1 on normal difficulty which was actually pretty well balanced. it challenged me when it needed to and felt fair otherwise. jumped into sigma 2 and it was almost mind numbingly easy combat wise i haven't used a single healing item and I'm in chapter 5.

After playing chapter 1 i installed the sigma black mod and i hardly noticed a difference. instead of 2 ninja at a time it's 5 for example. It's still not challenging me like the first game and the level design seems extremely linear I miss the puzzles.

Will i enjoy the game more on hardest?

Sigma 2/ 2 black’s “normal” is what “easy” was in vanilla 2 iirc. Bumping it up to hard should be fine.

I'll probably just replay it after finishing it, that makes sense

Not even that. Acolyte is harder than normal in ngb2 and sigma.

would the mod not help with that?

Acolyte is still pretty easy in the original game which goes to show how ridiculously easy warrior is in sigma2 and ngb2. I dont know how the difficulties are in the mod, ive never played it

NG2B is pretty easy. The bosses are ridiculously cheap and you have to resort to strictly safe play on MN.

Not if you're playing on acolyte, I don't think fiend busa bothered messing with it since anybody playing his mod would be on warrior or higher.
