What matters is that the development teams got the important bits right within their limited budgets, and made something really pretty into the bargain. Taken in that context, the little issues dissipate. It’s certainly not the best game I’ve played this year, but it’s also a fun and frivolous little experience that knows its limits, doesn’t outstay its welcome, and is wildly entertaining while it lasts. It’s not perfect by any means, and it’s not the best Neptunia game. It happens almost every time.Īnyhow, that aside, I did really enjoy Ninja Wars. And then, because I will be an outlier and give it a good score, a bunch of people for whom this game was never made for will float on into the comments section here to yell at me for the ten seconds it takes to ban them because I scored it above one game or another that they did like. These are all things that generally deliver a game a sour Metacritic score. The developers aren’t making any great point about anything in Ninja Wars, let alone making a point of the big-breasted women that, for reasons, decide to meditate while straddling a giant peach. It is, after all, a cut-price action JRPG/brawler, with fan service that’s there purely for aesthetic and comic purposes. I already know the way that this game is going to go across the broad media landscape.
