Embark on a Brick-Built Ninja Quest

The LEGO NINJAGO Movie Video Game brings the animated adventure to life, allowing players to step into the roles of their favorite Ninjago characters. With the land of Ninjago under threat from the malevolent Lord Garmadon, players must build, battle, and spin their way to victory across a variety of levels inspired by the movie's story.

Epic Battles and Diverse Characters

Packing a punch with high-octane ninja action, this game equips players with an arsenal of dazzling martial arts moves to defeat swarms of enemies. The game's roster includes seven ninjas – the courageous Lloyd, the lightning-fast Jay, the fiery Kai, the strong Cole, the cool Zane, the water-wielding Nya, and the wise Master Wu. Each character offers a distinct set of abilities and special moves, which provide a tailored gameplay experience suited to every type of player.

The real beauty of the game lies in the progression system, where players unlock new ninja skills, including the gravity-defying high jump and the agile wall-running technique. Mastering these skills is not just a competitive edge—it's a necessity for players aiming to topple Lord Garmadon's forces and restore peace to Ninjago.

A World Crafted for Exploration and Discovery

The LEGO NINJAGO Movie Video Game shines with eight expansive environments that are more than mere backdrops; they're interactive playgrounds filled with secrets and collectibles. Every area is meticulously designed, mirroring the film's imaginative settings while favoring a level of interactivity only a LEGO game can offer.

As players journey through this brick-crafted universe, they will encounter puzzles and challenges that cleverly utilize the LEGO environment, promoting creative problem-solving and discovery. The levels are constructed to reward exploration, with hidden paths and rewards for the curious.

Enjoyable Alone or With Others

While the single-player campaign offers a robust adventure, the multiplayer options introduce an extra layer of enjoyment. Battle Maps mode caters to both competitive and cooperative play, supporting up to four players in lively local multiplayer skirmishes. This feature demonstrates the game’s ability to bring friends and family together for lighthearted, yet thrilling, action-packed engagements that truly highlight the chaotic fun of the Ninjago series.

Verdict

The LEGO NINJAGO Movie Video Game stands as an impressive adaptation of its silver screen counterpart, effectively capturing the humor, charm, and excitement of the Ninjago franchise. The intuitive combat system, coupled with in-depth character progression, ensures that both young fans and seasoned gamers will find something to enjoy. While the game might not break new ground in terms of innovation, its faithful recreation of the Ninjago world and engaging gameplay mechanics make it a noteworthy addition to the LEGO video game lineup.
