- And buy Ninjatown - Venan Entertainment’s cute Tower Defense style game on the Nintendo DS. Most of the levels are not that difficult (except a few frustratingly difficult ones, as all TD games) but that shouldn’t bother you at all. I personally love the game’s smooth and relaxed gameplay. It does not come with that much chaos as other Tower Defense games - you can’t build on every single tile of your map and spam a lot of towers. Well actually you can only build one tower and increases your ninja’s line of sight.

In Ninjatown, it’s all about creating ninja “dojos” . There are a lot of different types of dojos and each one houses a specific ninja. Some ninja’s are slower but stronger than their brethren, while others are quick and nimble, but don’t pack that much of a punch. Using the right ninja skill at the right moment is usually the key to victory. You might even be forced to sell dojo’s when the next enemy wave appears to build specific anti-enemy ninja’s (anti-flying, anti-quick units, …). Secondary structures like tea houses (wuh? They help speed up your ninja’s movement, of course) and training dojo’s help incease ninja statistics to nearby dojos.

So what’s so great about this game? Besides style, the clever but simple design and the lovely art style you mean? It’s kind of another indie-game and those people really need your support! At a lot of stores, Ninjatown sells for only £20 or even less, so don’t be a jerk and buy the game. End of announcement.

(Yeah it’s been a while, I guess people who still visit Jefklak’s Codex are out of their mind!)
