The game includes a full story campaign where you will adventure in 7 chapters and follow a comic book style story and also a challenge mode where you can see how good of a ninja you are in the various challenge levels. There are three difficulties in campaign mode, Normal, Hardcore, and Master Class. The Hardcore levels of each chapter will be unlocked by finishing chapters in normal mode. the Master Class difficulty can be unlocked by finishing the game once in normal difficulty.
