"Ninjala definitely has the look of something I should be in love with. It&s;s bright and colorful, and the world-building happening here is genuinely fun. What&s;s not fun are the poorly implemented mechanics that can ruin the fast and fluid …"

"Ninjala&s;s action doesn&s;t always deliver and the combat can feel unresponsive or slow when you&s;re on the receiving end of attacks, but despite that, Ninjala is an excellent free to play multiplayer title that every Switch player should try out. …"

"Ninjala may very well be Nintendo&s;s next hot online multiplayer game. It&s;s free-to-play and totally worth a look, and the action is so fast-paced and addictive that you&s;ll likely find yourself with a new ongoing game to eat up all …"

"At the end of the day, Ninjala is a surprisingly entertaining free-to-play game that doesn’t require players to pull out their wallets to have a little fun. The microtransactions are all cosmetic, free content is on its way to add …"

"Ninjala is a good-looking and impressively tactical free-to-play arena fighter. It&s;s currently lacking in modes and maps, there are problems with how the lacklustre opening tutorial goes about onboarding new players and the rock-paper-scissors aspect of proceedings is sure to …"
