2856252 LEGO Battles: Ninjago, released as LEGO Ninjago: The Video Game in the United Kingdom, is a Ninjago video game and the follow-up to LEGO Battles. It was published by Warner Brothers, developed by Hellbent Games and produced by TT Games.[2] It has two single-player campaign modes, both good and evil, and multiplayer modes. The game is based on the pilot episodes Way of the Ninja and King of Shadows of the animated TV series Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. The sequel to this game titled LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids was released in the summer of 2014, based on the 3rd Season of the series.

Description[]

The story features players retrieving powerful weapons and skirmishing with their enemies, as well as featuring dragons and cameos from LEGO Battles characters. In skirmish mode, the player selects seven soldiers and a builder to control. Spinjitzu is used in the game by the Ninja and Sensei Wu as special attacks..[3]

It features enhanced graphics, four new multiplayer challenges and two challenges from the previous game.[3] A trailer is available here.

The gameplay is similar to that of the original, with the main difference being controlling a small force of seven rather than larger armies. Players collect studs to buy characters from defeating enemies, smashing scenery, and collecting some just lying around. Other collectibes are red power bricks and minikits, used to unlock new characters to buy.

Builders build buildings and collect bricks, with a maximum number of six builders at once. The player also controls 7 unique heroes. The beginning of a level only has the original form of each hero available. Each hero also has 2 alternative forms. For example, Kai starts out in his blacksmith clothes with short sword, in Level one he wears his ninja garb with a ninja sword, and in Level 2 he is in his DX form with the golden Sword of Fire. Another example would be the Samurai Warrior beginning on foot, then on a horse in level one, and with 2 archers that follow him in level two. The 2 alternative forms are better in speed, health, and attack.

Development[]

LEGO Battles: Ninjago started development as LEGO Battles 2, a direct sequel to the original game. Concept work was done, featuring improved cutscene visuals and the new isometric camera angle, but the game soon shifted direction to become Ninjago themed. LEGO Battles: Ninjago was also planned to have cel-shaded cutscenes at one point, but this was changed to bring it closer in line with the style of the TV show.[4]

Notes[]

  • This is the first and only LEGO Battles game (not only that it's based on the theme) to be based on an animated TV series by LEGO.
  • Despite being an adaptation of the the animated series, the game doesn't feature actual footage clips from the show, despite it has speaking and all objects, vehicles and creatures in the show are not made of LEGO.
  • This is the only Ninjago game adaptation not featuring any dialogue until its later instalments (during that that time, dialogue hasn't introduced in LEGO video games until LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes which it came out a year later). Kai is the only character who spoke his (only) line "Hey" whenever you select him.
