In Ninja Village, you are the leader of a hidden ninja clan. Build your village into a bustling town, attract travelers, and generate income to fund your army. Train your ninjas in various arts and lead them into battle against rival warlords to unify Japan. It’s a perfect blend of city-building strategy and tactical combat with Kairosoft’s signature pixel art style.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

94/100

Kairosoft has a magical way of making management sims feel both deep and incredibly cozy, and Ninja Village is one of their absolute best. You start by managing a small hidden village, but the game quickly expands into a grand quest to unify Japan during the Sengoku period. It’s a dual-layered experience: half city-builder and half tactical-battler.

Designing your village is addictive, as you try to optimize the placement of shops and houses to maximize income. But the real fun comes from training your ninjas and equipping them with gear to take on rival clans in massive, automated battles. The pixel art is charming, the humor is lighthearted, and the 'just one more turn' loop is stronger here than almost anywhere else. It is a fantastic entry point for the genre.

Kairosoft does it again!
Sun Dec 11 2022 HorribleMatchmaking

Once you start playing a kairosoft game you can’t stop until you perfect your run. I love the games so much boxing gym story ninja village and game dev story are top tier in my book I’ve sunk almost 300 hours combined with these games. The UI is very small and very janky but for the amount of content they fit into one game it’s totally acceptable. Very few developers put in the love and care kairosoft puts into crafting each of their games. Ninja Village is the magnum opus. Not only did they add in an entire building sim tycoon but they put in Roguelike elements by giving you a time limit and not only allowing but encouraging reruns. The other part of the game is an army fighting sim with strategy elements. not only do they pull off these mechanics in such smooth mind blowing fashion with very unique inspiring and funny pixel art but they even added in a map conquering mechanic to the game. Kairosoft seriously just trying to categorize this game into a genre would do it a severe injustice! The genre is simply: kairosoft. I love you guys i love your games I am about to go check socials and see if y’all are still around.

The best of all

In my time that I have played this game out of all the other ones really drew my attention to the company itself. This game had all of the things that I was looking for in a game very intriguing and fun game and I loved it as soon as I played it through and through. Could it have been better yes it could have but what game now a days couldn’t be better than what it came out as. All I would have to say is a better drawn out battle system a better story but besides that the mechanics and everything else about this game really still draws out the best.

Please make a second game

Best game in the whole collection in my opinion I’ve played multiple games and I always find myself coming back to this one eventually it’s a timeless classic I just wish they would expand on it more because there’s only so much you can do but the gameplay is amazing

Best so far

I’ve been playing these games for a long time and I love this one the most. The combat feels fine and building your army up and steam rolling is fun as hell! Also managing your village is fun as well though they could add more villagers. This game gives you a good combination of a few of the game mechanics that they are well known for!

Interesting

Definitely old school gaming, there is a lot of grinding, some luck, and it isn't a mindless easy game. A few times you will probably hit a wall. Have to figure out what makes the city better and what warriors are most important. It could be better, I would like to have the ability to customize people, zoom out of the screen to see better in the landscape position, and a little smarter worker ai so they don't walk all over town to make some goods. Overall, very fun, old school Kiarosoft. It is similar to a mix of Edo Village/Grand Prix. *not impossible like other reviews say, lol*

Not very good For The Money
Tue Aug 08 2017 Webbysquiresandnit

Not very good I got far in it and like dungeon village I completed just about everything in about 4 days. I don't think Ima buy anymore kairo games at first I was impressed by them when I played SkyforceU and the pirate ship one and Grand Prix story 2 but since I've been paying 5 bucks for this one and dungeon village the two which I was most interested in they were Both letdowns so that's 10 bucks I've wasted on two games I've basically finished in the same 4 days I've had them both.!!!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY FAIR WARNING!!!!!

So good I had to download it again!

I played this game when it first came out and I loved it ! I beat the game in maybe a weeks time and I was actually kind of sad when I beat it. Now I’m downloading it again and I’m gonna beat it again !

The game is laggy on my iPhone 14 pro 512gb

I’ve really enjoyed this game on my iPhone 4 about 10 years ago. But this time doesn’t have a nice experience when the game is laggy when in the battle scence.
