Lego Battles: Ninjago is a video game published on 12 April 2011 in North America and 15 April 2011 in PAL territories[1] for the Nintendo DS and is a follow-up to Lego Battles video game. Both games were developed by Hellbent Games and co-published by TT Games Publishing. The game is loosely based on the pilot season of Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu.

Gameplay

The game is a sort of mixture between normal Lego video games and the Battles series. Players control six builders and seven heroes. Each hero has three versions, two of which must be researched. In these modes, two special abilities ("spells") can be used. Teams can also build five different buildings: the keep, the headquarters of the team, the brick bank, where builders can drop off bricks, the mine, which automatically produces bricks, the barracks, which produces heroes, and the tower, which fires projectiles. In addition, towers can have upgrades based on elements. The Ninjago story is based on the ninja training and their quest to find the four golden weapons in the underworld. The skeleton story is based on the skeleton army (led by Samukai) searching for the golden weapons. The story is based on the Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu TV series, but with some differences, for example, Sensei Wu goes with the ninja to find the Shurikens of Ice and the Nunchucks of Lightning, whereas in the pilot season the ninja go alone. The characters from the previous game also appeared in this game such as the King from Castle, Captain Brickbeard from Pirates and Biff from Space, some unlockable characters in the challenge levels of this game are from different Lego themes; Agents, Space, Power Miners etc.

Reception

Reviews were mixed.[2] Gamesradar said "The real-time strategy component is great for beginners, rather than an action-adventure, but may come off as a bore for seasoned players and anyone who prefers fast-paced action over strategic planning."[3]
