Stickman Ninja Fight is a free-to-play adventure experience from Zin Games. This combines RPG and strategy elements, tasking the player to build the ultimate ninja team. Its character designs and skills are inspired by the hit manga and anime series, Naruto. This game even offers a storyline that’s closely similar to Masashi Kishimoto’s work.

Despite the faceless stickmen characters, Stickman Ninja Fight makes good use of costumes and visual effects to make each character easily distinguishable for fans of the series. It heavily features ads and microtransactions though, not too different from Ultimate Wars: Awaken or League of Stickman Free.

Build the ultimate ninja team

Concept-wise, Stickman Ninja Fight is heavily inspired by Naruto, down to the backstory. Twelve years before the start of the game, a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked the VIllage of the Leaf. The then-village leader sealed the fox inside his own son, Naru, who grew up alone and hated by the village. His quest to earn everyone’s love and admiration sends him on an adventure to become the strongest ninja.

The game has four main modes for a varied gameplay experience. The Story Mode follows the Naru on his quest, with a series of levels to complete and different characters to unlock. You can fight other players: join one-on-one matches via Versus Mode or beat 15 other players in the Tournament. Lastly, you can practice lineups and attacking strategies through the Training Mode.

Unfortunately, this game features a lot of ads it’s inevitably annoying. Every other stage, or almost every instance you have to switch from one game window to another, you get to see a full-screen advertisement. Even worse, these are unskippable in some cases. Next, while the design is impressive, the gameplay itself is difficult for free players. Its progression and combat heavily rely on microtransactions.

An ad-heavy but promising ninja RPG

In conclusion, Stickman Ninja Fight draws heavily from Naruto, featuring a reminiscent backstory and varied gameplay modes. Despite its impressive design and engaging story mode, the game's inundation with unskippable ads proves irksome. Moreover, its reliance on microtransactions for progression poses a challenge to free players, dampening the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, the game offers an immersive adventure for those willing to navigate its hurdles.
