Ninja Striker! is a fairly simple one-touch iOS game. Or so it seems. It doesn’t make the best first impression because it’s too simplistic. You just tap somewhere on the screen to send your little pixelly ninja flying in that direction, katana swinging. Anything in the way will get sliced and if you tap on an enemy specifically, you’ll fly to that enemy and stay there slashing it until it dies. Your ninja can also stick to walls and ceilings. Three hits and you’re dead but there’s nothing to worry about. The first couple levels are pretty boring because they’re so easy. Things start to change with the first boss though. He’s a little guy about your size and he jumps around shooting baby tornados at you. If you just sit there hitting him, you’ll die pretty fast. You have to jump around and make strategic swipes at the boss. Then the second set of levels are much more complicated with lots of bottomless pits and deadly spikes. It takes a lot more planning and attention to make it to the end of the level intact. I’ve now played through the second boss and Ninja Striker! has gone from a game that I was going to drop with a disinterested “meh” to a game I’m interested to see where it’ll go next.
i can't really handle action games on touch except for a couple. I usually just play RPG's and stuff. It's lame because there's so many awesome games. When i upgrade my iphone I'm going to get a controller for it.
I think you could handle this one, Snee. As for controllers, you stay up with Touch Arcade, right? I'm sure you're familiar with the Steel Series controller then. That one's probably the best, though still so expensive even at a reduced price from the manufacturer!
yeah i saw that. by the time I get one maybe it will be reduced more.
This actually sounded fun to me from the word go, cause I like my games simple and fun ... except that Injustice game for iPad where you just keep tapping to win fights, that bored the shit out of me.
Fighting games on mobile are a tricky proposition, and none of the big names have done it very well, I think. This game is fun though. You should try it!
This game is just like a ninja: typical at first, then suddenly deadly (I mean fun!). It just gets me that even cute ninjas can be extremely deadly. Looks like a fun game; what a shame you have to trudge through a couple levels for it to get good though.
Cute ninjas just might be the deadliest 
Looks interesting. How much is it?
It's 99 cents and small, too, clocking in at just under 12 MB on my phone. You should give it a try, Cary!
Looks like a cute game.
I hope this isn't the iOS's answer to the new Strider game on XBLA/PSN. Sure Ryu isn't a ninja persay but still...
No no, this is the future of Ninja Gaiden
