Dojo Danger Preview

Dojos are peaceful, quiet structures wherein anyone from any race or culture can listen to the wisdom of a sensei and reflect on the Old Ways. Unless you’re a zombie, of course. All members of the undead are barred from dojos, but once they invade, they’re probably not going to leave quietly. In Dojo Danger for iOS, you employ physics and strategy to purge your ninja dojo of those vile, unclean zombies. On the flipside, you can also play as part of a zombie team that has to hustle ninja invaders out the dojo’s door. Hey, the living dead needs peace and tranquility, too.

Defend your dojo as a ninja or a zombie in Dojo Danger for iOS

Dojos are peaceful, quiet structures wherein anyone from any race or culture can listen to the wisdom of a sensei and reflect on the Old Ways. Unless you’re a zombie, of course. All members of the undead are barred from dojos, but once they invade, they’re probably not going to leave quietly. In Dojo Danger for iOS, you employ physics and strategy to purge your ninja dojo of those vile, unclean zombies. On the flipside, you can also play as part of a zombie team that has to hustle ninja invaders out the dojo’s door. Hey, the living dead needs peace and tranquility, too.

Dojo Danger is designed by Kihon Games, the team behind PoxNora. The game combines elements from Angry Birds and Battle Bots: utilizing a top-down view, you slingshot your ninjas or zombies at soldiers on the opposing side and try to score hits without careening wildly around the screen and damaging your team mates in the process. You’ll also want to avoid the spikes, pits, spinning hammers, and sawblades in each level–these are some hardcore dojos.

There are 30 unique zombie and ninja characters to help you fight, and each one has its own special power. Ninjas, for instance, can summon whirlwinds and use a healing touch. Zombies, of course, can eat, eat, eat.

Dojo Danger boasts 100 levels of gameplay across 5 unique areas. The game goes beyond the dojo and eventually takes you to a courtyard, a village, a castle, and a dungeon. There are also multiple game types outside the standard campaign, including multiplayer challenges that let you take on your friend’s dojos, Last Man Standing, and Capture the Flag.

Dojo Danger is coming to iOS in the second quarter of 2012, so that should be enough time to decide if you’re going to fly with the Ninjas or shuffle with the Zombies. Stay tuned to Gamezebo for more updates on the game.
