Mini Ninjas

When you think of IO Interactive, Hitman immediately comes to mind. Mini Ninjas, a 2009 action-adventure title, may seem a bit out of left field for the developer. Nevertheless, it’s a solid all-ages title where players venture across “ancient” Japan and battle Ashida, who has returned with an army of animals converted into samurai troops. Combat is beat ’em up style with magic attacks and ninja tools, and upon defeating the samurai, they’ll return to their animal forms to help out.
