The Ninja Slot Review
I had troubles with a bully at school when I was 8 or 9 years old. He wasn't beating me up or anything but was instead just one of those nasty kids who would pick on others verbally. I was carrying a few extra pounds (not like my slim and trim physique now!) and was a bit socially awkward.
My Dad could see some subtle changes in me and eventually pried out what was wrong. My birthday was around the corner and we always invited every kid in the grade.
Midway through the party, my Dad comes out in a ninja costume. He tells everyone he's going to put on a display in a few minutes, pulls up his mask and wanders off. When he returns, (unbeknownst to the kids its actually a Martial Arts instructor he hired) a dazzling display of fighting skills and acrobatics was put on, complete with a smoke bomb vanish at the end.
I knew it wasn't my Dad, but I wasn't going to breathe a word.
When my Dad returned, there was rapturous applause – every child and a few parents being convinced he was some sort of mystic ninja.
Later in the party he whispered something in my tormentor's ear. That child was forever from that day, vastly changed.
That's the power of the Ninja!
It may have been at the height of the craze in the 80's but they still command an air of awe. Hoping to capture that is a video slot by Endorphina simply entitled “The Ninja”. This slot slays its way across PC, mobile devices and tablets. I couldn't help acknowledging, even in my middle age, how damn cool ninjas are. I felt a little bit more centered and efficient while playing this slot. It also gave me a longing to watch a great martial arts movie. I gave the desk a fearsome karate chop and began to spin.
Gameplay
The Ninja is a 5 reel and 20 payline slot which makes it a medium volatility slot.
The symbols are primarily ninjas with different color costumes, the black ninja being the scatter. There are also nunchuck, ninja star, claw and punch symbols.
The controls are a bit spread out, with Total Credits sitting on top and the following at the bottom : Bet, Menu (including Auto options), Autospin, Spin and Lines.
Impatient players will have to live without a Turbospin.
Features
When two or more scatters appear, one wild is allocated per scatter and accumulated for later use. The total is displayed at the bottom of the reels, and these wilds are kept until the Free Spins Mode is activated by 3 or more scatters. During Free Spins, the wilds you've stored up are placed on reels 2-5. Free Spins end when all your wilds have been used.
Performance
The graphics and animation are superb and make the deadly moves seem very realistic. The music and sound effects build on the atmosphere nicely. I tried out the Ninja on a few different devices and it worked perfectly on all.
Conclusion
I could so easily have been a ninja – apart from the discipline and rigorous training.
The Ninja gives us all a chance to be deadly part-time masters. Its Free spins are electrifyingly exciting with the added wilds, and the gameplay is top drawer. So, get ready for some killer action – enjoy!
