Strategy games have reached such a level of development that it takes an exceptional effort to produce something outstanding. Ninja Town achieves exactly this feat. It's graphical presentation is a perfect fit for its lighthearted theme. However, neither the colorful art style nor the lighthearted theme represent that challenge Ninja Town presents. The ability to eventually deploy multiple classes of Ninja, level them up in real time as well as construct on of nice variety of buildings that give local units stats boosts, is not only immersive but presents a puzzle in itself. As the game throws waves of a nice variety of enemies at you on a nice variety of maps, you will constantly be challenged to figure out the optimal placement of the different classes as well as the buildings and when to level up.
If Ninja Town has one shortcoming is that some maps seem to have one or two right ways to beat them, which somewhat diminsihes the tactical tools at your disposal. However, this is a small complaint against a game that is nearly perfect in every other way.
