Mini Ninjas puts you in control of Hiro, the smallest ninja in his village. Hiro may be mini, but he is extremely skilled at ninja combat with his sword, and Kuju magic spells. Hiro's friends, the other ninjas, have been captured by the evil samurai warriors and it's up to you to find and release them. Once you release them, they join your squad and you can make use of their ninja skills too. Mini Ninjas combines action-adventure with elements of role-playing games to create a fun and accessible hybrid that will appeal to fans of both genres. Jump, climb and paddle around a vast 3D environment, releasing animals as you go. Why? Because the dastardly enemy samurai are not just capturing your ninja friends, they are also capturing woodland creatures to transform into warriors. Defeat a samurai and free a cute animal... but it's not all about those beasties being cute as you will discover. Find and use powerful Kuju magic spells that give you new weapons, or protect you from enemies. Even transform yourself into an animal, and use your keen sense of smell to help you hunt down collectibles. Collect plants and combine them using magic recipes to create potions that revive your energy, and more. Collect power orbs from fallen foes and released creatures to level-up your character and gain greater ninja skills and more powerful super moves. Mini Ninja is a wonderfully playable game that combines action and role playing into a user-friendly, intuitive and fun mix.
