Is Ninja Gaiden Sigma on the Vita worth a purchase while it's on sale?
I played the OG Xbox version (pre-Black) back in the day and got about halfway through before moving state and dropping the game. My Xbox is now dead
I'm hearing kinda mixed things about it, and forced touch gimmicks would be a definite turnoff.
for me is a great game and a decent port but if your picky these are the downsides
some rear touch bullshit and gyroscope bow aiming controls
30fps gameplay vs 60fps of console versions
visual downgrade on the textures (is not much thou)
if you can pass that , game works great and brings some new stuff
Taken from ninja gaiden wikia:
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus is a remake of Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PlayStation Vita. Unlike the previous remakes of Ninja Gaiden (Xbox), Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus features an easy setting called "Hero" mode, making it more accessible to casual gamers. Sigma Plus also takes advantage of the additional features that the Vita offers, including:
Gyroscopic first-person aiming. By tilting the PlayStation Vita, the player can adjust the camera angle in first-person viewing modes.
Back touchpad controls. Tapping symbols using the rear touchpad will allow Ryu to boost the power of his Ninpo.
Touch screen controls. Players can go into first-person mode by tapping the touch screen.
In addition, Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus offers new sets of accessories that Ryu and Rachel can equip. Ryu's are called Enhancements, and affect his status in the following ways:

Armor of Intelligent: "Decrease Health, Increase Ki slot"
Armor of Speed: "Increase Flying Swallow Damage"
Furious Tiger Helm: "Decrease Attack. Increase Defence."
White Tiger Helm: "Decrease Attack. Greatly Increase Defence."
Red Dragon Helm: "Decrease Defence. Increase Attack."
Azure Dragon Helm: "Decrease Defence. Greatly Increase Attack."

Rachel can equip Glasses that affect her status in the following ways:

These new accessories are equippable even when the player has accessories from another category equipped, and the effects even stack with each other (For example, Ryu's attack power is greatly boosted if he equips both The Armlet of the Sun and the Azure Dragon Helm).
Additionally, Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus adds one new Costume: the Grip of Murder from Ninja Gaiden III.
