Overview
Little Ninja Brothers is an action-RPG set in the fictional world of Chinaland. It features both real time and turn based combat and can be played by two players simultaneously. The story and presentation of the game is lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek. The goal of the game is to acquire the seven Bells of Prism and defeat the evil Blu Boltar.
Gameplay
Gameplay is split between a few systems. There is a top down exploration view typical of many early console RPGs where players can explore the world and talk to
NPCs.
Random battles occur on the world map and in dungeons. These battles are played out in real time, with gameplay nearly identical to
Kung Fu Heroes. Players can punch, use flip kicks, Miracle Kicks, throw shuriken, and use the Surger, which attacks all enemies on the screen. Miracle Kicks, shuriken and Surger attacks are limited in supply and can be obtained, along with other powerups, by breaking blocks in the battle areas with punches. Defeated enemies leave
experience points and money used to purchase better equipment, healing items, and new types of shuriken and Surger attacks.
Some battles, usually
boss fights, take place in a turn based style similar to those found in games in the
Dragon Quest series. There are also some track and field based
minigames which are presented as training courses and offer rewards upon completion.
