And with the Battle Maps, play against friends and family in competitions for up to four players!
What it feels like
The game is explicitly comedic and family-friendly, with irreverent LEGO-brand humor and accessible, unserious tone. The ninja-themed gameplay, colorful LEGO aesthetic, and multiplayer focus invite mischievous, experimental fun.
What it's about
The narrative centers on heroes defending Ninjago from an evil lord, following a classic good-versus-evil heroic structure. While fantastical, Ninjago City is a modern urban setting with contemporary aesthetics and humor.
How it plays
Fast melee combat against numerous enemies is central, with the game explicitly marketed as 'Hack and slash/Beat 'em up' and emphasizing ninja combat skills and ranking up. Traversal via wall-running, high-jumping, and parkour-style ninja-gility is a defining mechanic alongside combat, featured prominently in marketing. Playing as multiple distinct ninja characters (Lloyd, Jay, Kai, Cole, Zane, Nya, Master Wu) with squad-based gameplay is core to the experience.
How it looks and sounds
A third-person camera following the ninja characters is standard for LEGO action games and evident from typical presentation. The LEGO aesthetic is inherently charming and child-friendly, with simplified, colorful character designs.
How it's structured
The game is structured around experiencing the film story across 8 action-packed locations with a narrative arc against Lord Garmadon. Split-screen co-op for up to four players is explicitly advertised as a core feature. Eight distinct story locations with challenge dojos suggest a linear narrative with explorable arenas rather than a single seamless world.
