Ninjas return in new mobile app

What’s the most popular video game character? My vote goes to the ninja.

The wily mercenary from feudal Japan appears in more than 70 different games listed in Wikipedia. We love ninjas because they stealthy, crafty and deadly and that makes them perfect foil for evil warlords and their dangerous beasts.

In a new game for mobile devices called Dragon Ninja Rush, the hero ninja also has to be fast. It’s an action game that tests a player’s reflexes as the star character races across changing landscapes and flies over opponents and obstacles.

A single tap lets lets the ninja jump or slide to avoid obstacles as he collects coins and gems. He can also use weapons to defeat opponents such as a pair of raging Red Bulls. Players can also design their own ninja - male, female or cyborg - and collect pet companions including the Fiery Dragon, Ninja Hamster and Ninja Cat.

The game is optimized for tablet play and it includes a leaderboard and the option to share scores on social media.

Dragon Ninja Rush is available as a free download for iOS devices in the iTunes App Store and for Androids in the Google Play Store.
