You play as a clan leader hoping to take advantage of Japan’s power vacuum to unite the region’s warlords under your adorable pixelated fist. If you’ve never played a Kairosoft game before, all of these things are fresh, and it’s all overwhelmed anyway by the medieval Japanese setting, which is gorgeous. Even the cheering girls that appear when a positive notification pops up are twins of the ones in their previous games.īut that’s not really the point. The user interface is virtually identical to what we’ve seen in the past. The same sprites are here, with different outfits but the same word balloons and animation. On a functional aesthetic level, not much has changed in the company’s formula from game to game, and Ninja Village is no exception. Some of you Kairosoft veterans might call me a liar as soon as the game starts. But their latest sim, Ninja Village, might be Kairosoft’s best game yet. Its mobile business model consists solely of assorted business and town management simulations which, despite their hefty price tags, have sold briskly and won the company a devoted following. Kairosoft, the Japanese developer that received critical acclaim for Game Dev Story almost a year ago in May 2012, knows this better than anyone. Hardcore gamers may mock their friends’ exploits on Farmville, but that doesn’t stop many of us from playing games with very similar concepts. These days, it seems like everyone has a virtual town, farm, or space station to look after.
