JIG: Ninjas have to have a place to live, just like the rest of us. They also have to have jobs and food and money and footpaths and cherry trees to look at. Fortunately, the simple life of a farmer ninja doesn't preclude raids on nearby towns, which is precisely why Kairosoft's mobile simulation game Ninja Village is so fantastic.

"Ninja Village isn’t great, but it’s not totally bad either. While it is filled to the brim with the mobile game formula, there is a decent amount to do that can keep a player engaged throughout its 5-6 hour main campaign. I feel each player’s mileage will vary with Ninja Village. If someone is able to get really into town building or truly optimizing their clan’s combat potential, there may be something here. For the everyday player that stumbles across this, however, there are better alternatives out there."
Rewrite the history of feudal Japan with an army of the ultimate guerrilla warriors: ninjas! On February 28th, Kairosoft’s popular title Ninja Village will be released on Nintendo Switch.
If you've only played a couple of their games, go for it by all means, but if you've played most of their lineup and find yourself getting a bit tired of the old hamster wheel, you're not going to be missing out by taking a pass on Ninja Village.
