Free block-type action game
LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin is an action game based on the Ninjago TV series and toy line from LEGO. Following the events of LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids, the ninjas lose their elemental powers and recent memories due to an assault from Ronin.
To reclaim their memories and stop Ronin, the ninjas must complete 30 short stages or 10 distinct chapters. This arrangement was made specifically for handheld gaming as each level can be completed quickly — even for those who casually play mobile games — though you may find that the action comes to a halt just as it was getting interesting.
Can you do Spinjitzu in LEGO Ninjago?
LEGO: Shadow of Ronin surprisingly deviates from classic LEGO elements. For starters, the in-game shop is located inside the menu system. Second, the developers eliminated side quests from the gameplay. This means you’ll only need to achieve each level’s goal and follow along with the game’s story. The levels prove to be nothing of a challenge.
Their shorter duration, along with the ninjas’ spinjitzu fighting special, means that only beginners can have some difficulty here. The game almost seems like you’re going through a plotline from LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu minus the extreme obstacles and cut scenes coming in at random intervals. It’s possible that its purpose is to draw in the younger audience to play the game.
LEGO fans, on the other hand, would wish for more advanced stages and a wider variety of unlockables. In Nindroids, it appeared to be focused on sandbox gameplay and that other games would follow suit. Shadow of Ronin, on the other hand, seems like a step-down as every player’s experience will be the same, which negatively impacts the game’s replayability.
Fun game for young Ninjago fans
Lego Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin encapsulates all that kids enjoy about the cartoon in a mobile game. It’s simple to play and there’s never a dull moment, and the story maintains the goofy charm that kids have come to expect from the Spinjitsu masters. Overall, Lego Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin succeeds in making children feel like they’re in the game.
