IGN: Ninjatown Multiplayer Hands-on

IGN writes: "After several solo visits to adorable Ninjatown we finally got to play its head-to-head multiplayer mode. Ninjatown is a Tower Defense-style game that plays like a breezy RTS. If you played PixelJunk Monsters on the PlayStation 3, this is pretty much the same thing with ninjas. Your task is to defend the titular town from waves of invading demons and evil ninjas. You have a limited amount of resources to build huts that spawn soldiers who will engage the attackers. Resource management is the name of the game, and you'll have to pick your build locations carefully.

Multiplayer matches play much like the single-player game, only you're competing to win each wave of enemies, or "round." Both players attend to the same map, separately on their own DS. The first to defeat a wave wins, and the loser has to give up a heart. You start with 10 hearts, and when they run out the match is over. To keep things interesting, the loser of a round takes half the winner's cookies, which are the resources you use to build ninja huts. We found a useful strategy is to spend your cookies upgrading your huts right before your victory. The winner receives a bonus attack such as a baby ninja that can be dropped into battle (it's too cute to ignore so your enemies will be distracted)."

The Best Games You’ve Never Heard Of: Ninjatown

Vgamerz writes: "As we know, licensed games are always a dodgy prospect. Alarm bells start to ring at the very mention of a ‘game-of-the-film,’ and we know they’re in immediate danger of rating high on the crapometer. For this egregious prejudice, I blame Superman 64 and its legacy of awful."

Cue "but you didn't include my favorite!" comment: PixelJunk Monsters is the best TD game ever. Fact. :)

Anon19744059d ago

I was just going to mention that. PixelJunk Monsters was an absolute blast to play. Even better co-op with someone else. :)

MoreRPG4059d ago

that's what i thought PixelJunk Monsters should be in that list

halocursed4059d ago

It's there in the "Awesome Tower Defense Games" below the first one(at the end of the list).

Cat4059d ago

But it's not in the #1 spot - which is where it belongs!!!! :)

Christopher4059d ago (Edited 4059d ago )

Wish Ninja Town would get ported to PC or something.

Edit: Cat, when reading this, I was thinking you'd say just that :P

Cat4059d ago

Would hate to disappoint :)

Castle TD on my Android and Dungeon Defenders is my Ultimate TD game of all times.

Christopher4059d ago

Castle TD is a freaking grind for crystals to level up, though. And, would love to have an ad free version for $1 or so.

Otherwise, it's got some great challenges with dastardly creep options. What's that? The four zeppelins in a row wasn't hard enough, here's some healers to show up just as you got them down in life!

Dakriz4059d ago

Lol I'm fealling your pain man at points it makes me wanna slam my phone but I'm hooked and I don't mind the ads but I blocked them so I guess its why I don't mind them lol

Nerdmaster4058d ago

It's good to see they remembered Defense Grid: The Awakening. It's the best tower defense game, when I start playing it, I just can't stop. I played many others, including Plants Vs Zombies and Ninjatown, but none gets close to Defense Grid.

Ninja town was alot of fun, another good list here
