Review: Ninja Hero Cats
Ninja Hero Cats, a top-down adventure game where you control a swarm of cats in an effort to traverse levels and take down bosses, now supports game controllers. Even before controller support, this was already a fun game with a really nice art style, almost reminiscent of Bastion – a classic iOS game, also with support for game controllers.
The biggest issue with this game is the aggressiveness of the ads: the entire top of the screen is covered in a banner, the game starts with a giant ad splash screen for the developerâs other apps, there are ârate this appâ dialog boxes, âwatch this video for currencyâ – all that stuff. Some of this can be removed with an in-app purchase, and doing so improves the game greatly. The splash-screen ad at the beginning doesnât go away, though, even after purchase. All of this is unfortunate – the ads leave a bad impression of an otherwise beautifully presented game, and ads after paying to disable ads are inexcusable.
Otherwise, there would be a lot to recommend here. Itâs still worth downloading and trying – no harm in that – but itâs hard to recommend paying to get an ad-free experience when that isnât what you get.
