OVERVIEW

Prepare yourself for a Ninja adventure like you have never seen before! Join Hiro, the smallest hero on the biggest adventure, as he embarks on an epic and electrifying quest to restore harmony to a world on the brink of chaos. Use your skills and mighty Ninja training to battle a magical army of evil Samurai. Harness the power of your Kuji magic and utilise the special skills of your Mini Ninja friends as you travel through a perilous world to reach the final confrontation with the Evil Samurai Warlord in his Fortress of Doom.

IGN

While Mini Ninjas marks a massive tonal shift for IO, the game itself is still a deep and full-bodied experience, featuring the ability to level up Hiro’s magic and other attributes as well as perpetuating the bald headed spirit of Agent 47 in its fully fledged stealth mechanic. Crouching in the grass, a gauge pops up in the top right-hand corner of the screen to let you know whether you’re visible or not. Hiro can then shimmy silently through the undergrowth before outflanking and pouncing upon haplessly unaware foes. If however you’d sooner confront enemies head on, you can switch to the hammer wielding Futo on the fly by pressing the right bumper. Futo is a big bruiser, who can swing his mallet into the bad guys, sending them barrelling into one another. He can also execute a roll attack to deal with multiple enemies at once. Later on we come across the first of the captive ninjas Suzume, who when freed also becomes playable. Her special ability is a sweet little flute playing move, which sends foes into a hypnotised jig, leaving them vulnerable to a good pasting.
