Guide Review - Ninjatown Review

Ninjatown may be based off a line of plush ninjas called Shawnimals, but luckily the game feels like a whole lot more than a slapdash tie-in. Your adorable town is in trouble, and the only way to save it is with classic tower defense: don’t let approaching enemies make it across your screen. By building and upgrading ninja huts, along with using special weapons, players stop the waves of Tamagotchi-like monsters and the cast of adorable and entertaining Ninjatown inhabitants. For those not turned off by the game’s emphasis on cuteness, Ninjatown can be a lot of fun – even if you don’t traditionally play strategy games. The learning curve is gentle on newbies, and doesn’t throw too much new info or too many new challenges at players. All in all, Ninjatown is an excellent introduction to the genre – or just to the adorable lives of ninjas.
