Summary

Game Description

Based on the popular Shawnimals, Ninjatown for the DS features a top-down view where you use the stylus to place buildings and issue commands to ninjas on the battlefield. Gameplay combines town "build" and "defend" modes to keep the action flowing, as each Ninja has specific powers and weapons that make them well suited to fight off certain enemies. There are over 35 maps and 9 districts of Ninjatown to discover, and some of the ninja characters have special powers that utilize the built-in microphone on the DS. For instance, Ol' Master Ninja's "Get off My Lawn" move is executed by blowing into the DS' microphone.

  • Oct. 28, 2008 Review: Review: Ninjatown (DS)

    While not as adorable as the plush toys that Ninjatown is based on (and harder to hug) this strategy game has a leg up on the stuffed-ninja-toy-line in a number of other departments -- most noticeably in complexity, depth and level of involvement. That's not to say, however, that Ninjatown is an overly complicated strategy game. In fact, as far as the genre is concerned, Ninjatown is as simple as they come. But in this unique game's case that doesn't end up being a shortcoming; simplicity is one of its strengths.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: Ninjatown is bursting with charm and personality and it's found the perfect fit on a system that is just as original and unique. And while it may not appeal to the masses, those who do play it will not be disappointed.
