There are symbols like swords, 3 wave things, a ninja star, some kind of triangle/ball thing, MSN messenger, and a crosswalk man. There is a leveling system in the game, but it’s completely unexplained in game. You have 3 action buttons a defend button to counter attacks (holding it does nothing), an attack button, and a change special move button that toggles through your 5 available special attacks. The levels are detailed yet sloppy, with very clearly paint-brushed lines still left in its original scribbles on the floor, walls, and ceilings.Ĭontrols are done with a 4-way button scheme like a standard d-pad, but it’s not too responsive compared to joystick style controls and it shows when you are in a panic to move out of way of attacks. The characters look great with a strong art style, though the big heads on enemy units are freakish considering how large they are compared to yours. It’s too bad this game controls nothing like the classics, but that’s what happens when you have an iDevice with no buttons.Īrtistically, Ninja Wars is a mixed bag. I’m really reminded of the TMNT Turtles in Time or Final Fight when looking at this game. First of all, it’s a throwback to all the old side-scroller games of the past. There are some nice elements to this game app.

You can level up your skills, stats, and defeat the evil ninja clan! Brought to us by Goldfish, Ninja Wars is available on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad for $1.99 with a Lite alternative. Ninja Wars is a game where you take control over a brave blue ninja as he uses a variety of weapons and ninja skills to take on legions of enemy ninjas in this sidescroller beat-em’ up.
