The Unemployed Ninja

OK, so I really wanted to toss aside The Unemployed Ninja (which isn’t it’s full name, I know, but I can’t think and I should be working)… But, unfortunately, It sucked me in.

Here’s the basics:

You are a ninja with a group of ninjas. You arrive at a town and are wandering around and decide to steal a shiny object. This angers the gods & they cast spells on the towns people, including your ninja family. So, you go into dungeons and wander lower and lower until you meet the god & fight him.

Fighting is turn-based, much like WoW (I hit, you hit, I move, you move)… and you level up after defeating so many things… Which is all fine and well, but you start at lvl 1 and the mobs are lvl 10… so you are going to die A LOT when you first start doing the dungeon.

Also, every time you die in a dungeon, you lose everything you’ve found.

This gets incredibly frustrated until you realize that dying is just part of the game, and you are goingto be able to collect a lot the next time you go in. You’re really just increasing your level until you’re high enough to defeat the boss.

You can only hold about 40 things anyway.

Then you realize the interesting things.. you pick up arm-armour (defense), swords (attack), and claws (def & attk) .. and then you pick up pieces of paper to combine with the items you have picked up… and the pieces can only handle so much of these paper talismen (SP) .. and if you put a talisman on it with too high of an SP value, it breaks the item.

It becomes very interesting…balancing your equipment with your own SP, as you can not only use the talismen with equipment, but also use them on the room to do various things (transport you to another part of the room, Area-Effect burninating, etc)

Of course, you also pick up other things, some of which are useless. Healing orbs, pictures that restore SP, throwing stars, bombs, pills, etc.

So yes.. it’s addicting and you die so much, it can be done in between any other task.
