LEGO Battles: Ninjago gives you the chance to become a master of Spinjitzu, an art form in which characters spin and become tornadoes to defeat their enemies.

Here, you can choose to play both ‘good’ and ‘evil’ single-player campaigns, test your skills in a variety of Battle Mode challenges, or play with pals in multiplayer showdowns.

Ninjago is essentially a basic strategy title that looks like something out of the handheld games that time forgot, but appearances can be deceptive, so give yourself time to get into the story mode and start finding the unlockables before you call time on the battle.

Ultimately, though, for youngsters it’s a decent starting point for this kind of game, but seasoned RTS gamers will scoff at the simplicity.
