LEGO® Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin is an adventure game built around a straightforward job: help the Ninjas recover their memories and powers after Ronin takes them. You guide the team through story levels, fighting enemies and solving puzzles as they visit places including the Ice Temple, the Toxic Bogs and Chen’s Island. It suits players who want a familiar Ninjago cast and a sequence of action stages, rather than an open-ended building game.
Most of the play is hands-on: move through each area, take on enemies, and use Spinjitzu to clear obstacles or solve puzzles. The levels also bring in vehicles, including bikes, jets, mechs and dragons. These change the task from one stage to another, but the core remains moving through a set environment and dealing with what is in front of you.
The story draws on Ninjago characters and enemies, while Ronin and the Obsidian Glaive provide the central threat. This is an action-adventure take on that world, not a broad introduction to every part of the TV series.
The game offers a virtual directional pad and a more casual control option. That gives you a choice in how you steer the Ninjas, though either way the game is designed around touch-screen play. Expect to spend time navigating levels and responding to combat and puzzle prompts; it is less suited to someone looking for a passive story or a quick, hands-off experience.
Warner Bros. International Enterprises is the developer. The app is listed in Adventure, with a 4.1-star rating from 16,175 ratings and 100,000+ installs. Those figures show that it has found an audience, but they do not tell you whether its level-based mix of fighting, puzzles and vehicles is the right fit for you.
