    Combat is a bit loose, but the gameplay is fun, the environments are immersive, and the art style is endearing. I especially like how they include 'sneaky' ways by many fights.

    Stunning game, 10/10 must play. Despite the coop, you can't bash this game for that.

    Even Though the game is simple, it has plenty to offer even the game achievements are fun to pursue.

    A great little game with hours of playability. Easy enough for the young gamer but challenging enough for older gamers interested in more casual gaming.

    excellent game. i can describe it as a mini Prince of Persia series. the moves, graphics,cut scenes are cool. though the game is easy to finish, its a whole lot of fun. if u r looking for a third person game which is full of fun,then u can definitely play this game

    This is one FUN game. It looks beautiful and plays well. Lots of hidden stuff to find and secret places to explore. Lots of extra little touches like the hornet nest that fell from a tree when I tried to harvest fruit - I got pursued by a horde of bees. Stylistcally beautiful too, reminiscent of Okami, but with better gameplay. Nothing new, but everything's just so well done and so much fun... Well done!!!!! Expand

    Awesome game for all ages (I'm 22) and genders (My G/F loves it too). If you liked Zelda games you'll love this!

    A fun game, cartoon graphics are well done, innocent story... only bad thing is that its to easy and the combat is a bit odd sometimes. If u just mash attack button alot of the time youll fly forward with a slash which is just part of the attack sequence but if unintentional to go forward youll find yourself flying off a cliff (which doesnt hurt, unless you fall down a hole). Also it would be nice if the music played throughout the game. All in all a fun game and easily easily worth the $15 it costs off Steam. I had a good time :) Expand

  1. Mini Ninjas is a likeable want to be, but itīs no more than that. It could be an awesome videogame, but IO Interactive didn't know how to develop its good and innovative premise.
  2. The cutscenes are lovely, the dialogue and voice over work stereotypical but fitting, and the soundtrack is a wistful traditional Japanese score that rekindles memories of The Karate Kid. Still, Mini Ninjas will do nothing to quell the growing call from core gamers for IO's "next-gen" Hitman game.
  3. Mini Ninjas is a good action game, entertaining, enjoyable and able to offer some hours of good fun, but far from being one of the great games of the genre.
