Projecting a certain aura of mystery, being the ultimate martial arts experts, coming from the quite fascinating land and time period of feudal Japan, they've always been placed on a higher position in the superheroes' hierarchy, being more popular than the standard European knights or the American outlaw cowboys. No wonder that they have so easily entered and adapted to the virtual world of online games, too! Anyone can, nowadays, put on his cool black full suit and engage in ninja combats, sharpen his ninjutsu fighting techniques, learn to handle different types of ninja-specific weapons and walk into the shoes of a ninja mercenary right from the comfort of his room or office, without turning back the hands of time or booking a flight ticket to Japan, with no deadly dangers to face and an extreme real-life martial arts training to take first, simply by playing ninja games online. In this respect, allow me to point out for you some of the most popular types of them!
FIGHTING/BATTLE NINJA GAMES
They're by far some the most widespread ones, for this is precisely the main source of fascination for any ninja games-addicts out there: trying to defeat different types of well-trained enemies while showing off their amazing martial arts fighting techniques! Usually they're side-view types of games where you need to use your arrow keys (in some cases your space bar, too) for jumping, blocking, delivering your deadly kicks or using your ninja sword. Great reaction times are a must, as well as a great balance between your defense and offense tactics. The goals for such brutal confrontations range from saving a helpless maiden, to that of rescuing a close friend or killing a dragon terrorizing your home folks.
STRATEGY NINJA GAMES
For those of you who don't get 100% challenged by mere ninja fighting scenes, the ones which challenge your strategy skills and therefore your brain rather than just your reaction times and knowledge of martial arts will make an awesome dare for you. The most representative game, in this case, is definitely the Golden Ninja. It's similar to a super challenging tower defense game featuring two enemy ninja clans fighting for sovereignty over the same kingdom. You'll get to work your brain muscle to come up with the perfect plan, the ultimate strategy for disposing your army along the battlefield, for grouping your units and taking over your ninja enemies' buildings.
PLATFORM/SKILL NINJA GAMES
This old-school, Mario games-inspired type of online ninja games will never ever grow out of fashion. Their basic, one might say rudimentary, game play is compensated by all those challenging obstacles to overcome, such as intricate looking platforms to cross, other evil ninjas or all kinds of mean creatures to confront or unexpected bonuses, upgrades to collect. To all these you should add the platforms' challenge itself, for climbing and jumping from one platform to another will surprisingly challenge your skills big time.
Needless to say that in most cases there's no clear-cut borderline to separate these 3 main categories of online ninja games, we can definitely have some thrilling fighting scenes in the platform, Mario-like ninja games and we are surely challenged to put together the best strategies when we're playing a so-called "ninja fighting game". Go for the ones that best satisfy your need for online gaming entertainment and... enjoy your virtual ninja experience!
