Gameplay

The game is a sort of mixture between normal Lego video games and the Battles series. Players control six builders and seven heroes. Each hero has three versions, two of which must be researched. In these modes, two special abilities ("spells") can be used. Teams can also build five different buildings: the keep, the headquarters of the team, the brick bank, where builders can drop off bricks, the mine, which automatically produces bricks, the barracks, which produces heroes, and the tower, which fires projectiles. In addition, towers can have upgrades based on elements. The Ninjago story is based on the ninja training and their quest to find the four golden weapons in the underworld. The skeleton story is based on the skeleton army (led by Samukai) searching for the golden weapons. The story is based on the Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu pilot episode (but with some minor differences). Some characters in the game are from different Lego themes; Agents, Mars Mission etc.

Reception

Reviews were mixed.[2] GamesRadar+'s Jason Kramer said "The real-time strategy component is great for beginners, but may come off as a bore for seasoned players and anyone who prefers fast-paced action over strategic planning."[3]
