It’s a fun hack and slash game with lovely graphics. You’re a little ninja chap and dastardly pirates are invading, so you have to kill them all. The combat’s very much timing-based and, frankly, I’m not very good it. Both times that I played through the demo I got what I assume is the lowest possible ranking for the first level.

OMG Pirates!

Stupid pirates. Always making a nuisance of themselves.

It all looks and feels good, actually, but this Lite doesn’t have a boss fight. This type of game lives and dies on its bosses – too hard and they spoil the whole experience – so I’m very wary of spending any money without having a go at one of them.

I like what I see, but it’s what I don’t see that worries me.
