The term ‘Ninja’ has long lost its mettle in games, thanks to light games light Fruit Ninja, Ninjump and Paper Ninja. Now, its time to win back the Katana’s glory with Ninja Wrath!
Don’t get fooled by the cute graphics and the tiny Ninja. Ninja Wrath, despite its dull first impressions, is an action-packed entertainer. Do what you’ve been raised for and paint the floor red!
Let loose into the enemy territory, our hero has to make sure, he’s the last man standing. Slice them, shoot the shuriken, chop their heads and even burn the corpse. Use your magical chakra power to do special attacks, too. Defeat waves of evil ninjas, ancient knights, spell casters and poison darts to conquer each level.
The upgrades and addons are equally relevant in Ninja Wrath. Wear charmed rings and stack up potions for emergencies. Also, upgrade your skills one by one till you become the Master Oogway of Ninjas.
The controls are a little complex for most. In addition to normal jump and slash, we have swipe gestures for different manoeuvres. Tap & hold is also required. In short, it’ll take some time to get used. But once the controls are well versed, its a massacre!
The graphics is similar to 2D platformers in old video games but is more than enough for this gameplay. The sound effects are really adventerous, adding to the experience. It is a shame though, that there is no support for iPad, especially with all those crammed controls!
Now, to the conclusion. Though Ninja Wrath provides a decent action-game experience, it is not worth the 2 bucks you put in. I would rather go for Samurai: Dojo II, which is a better free game of similar genre. This is of course, my opinion and I would love to hear what you guys think!
