The Muramasa store is no longer present Ryu gets different swords over the course of the game. Unlike past games, the HUD appears only when Ryu is engaged in battle, then fades out later. Then, the player can charge up for an ultimate attack that is fueled by absorbing nearby fallen bodies instead of essence. When he kills a specific number of enemies his arm glows red. The Ultimate Technique concept has slightly changed in the form of Ryu's cursed right arm known as the Grip of the Murder. Ryu uses it to get through small passages as well as to attack enemies.

Some changes include the slide maneuver, which replaces the Reverse Wind Technique from the previous games. They are no longer decapitated or dismembered, instead they just bleed and weaken. Enemies speak while fighting and do not die quickly, and they suffer and scream in pain when injured. In other situations the player has to be stealthy, as Ryu can now sneak up on an enemy and kill him with a single strike. The new Kunai Climb involves Ryu climbing onto certain walls with the use of his kunai, which he can use to attack enemies from above.

Such new features include 'Steel on Bone', a new visual cinematic trick which allows players to cut through the body during a slow-motion sequence. Ninja Gaiden 3 features new mechanics and changes.
