About

Enter the squirrel! Defy the kitsune samurai who stole your clan's sacred acorns. Sneak through beautifully hand-painted landscapes, avoid capture by the guards, and snatch victory (and acorns) from your enemies. The vigilant foxes track your silent steps by scent. Keep ahead of them or use your ninja arsenal to escape. Use smoke bombs, ninja speed, shadow clones, freeze bombs, and flame cloaks to defeat your enemies. Hone your skills with Ninja Missions or train for endurance in Survival mode. Baffle your foes across 15 maps, attain 25 ranks, and conquer 5 difficulty levels. Master the way of Nutjitsu!

The fact that Nutjitsu: Reforged started life as a phone game is plain to see right from the start, and it's this legacy that infuses every aspect of the experience. With its single screen mazes taking mere minutes to complete, the bite-sized gameplay falls firmly in the time waster category, and it's subsequently better suited to the bus stop or waiting room than at home on your PS4.

Nutjitsu added its own flair and twists on the Pac-Man formula, but paid a few noteworthy prices in order to make the jump to next-gen. For one of the first titles to come from the ID@Xbox program, Nutjitsu was a letdown. On the other hand, its rather low price may absolve Nutjitsu of some of its faults for the sake of affordable, simple entertainment gamers of all ages could potentially enjoy.

Games developed to be played on mobile devices are fundamentally simple experiences meant to be accessible to people with extremely limited or undefined amounts of time. That's Nutjitsu's biggest downfall. Being far too shallow to entertain as a main course, the repetitious gameplay — which lacks any real sense of progression outside of earning XP and leveing up — struggled to hold our attention for more than a few moments at a time.

Nutjitsu is a gorgeous, bite-sized, downloadable game with just enough content to please players through dozens of hours of gameplay. ...It’s simple, fun and incredibly satisfying. ...Wait, that sounds weird. Enter the game featuring a squirrel. There we go. At the end of the day, NinjaBee crafted a fantastic game that’s worth every cent of its cost and every second of your time.

With a proactive and broader range of enemies and more distinct environments, along with a more balanced system that didn't penalize you for playing in the manner that appears to have been intended, Nutjitsu might have offered a simple but enjoyable time. Instead, it has settled for a tedious stroll from Rank 1 through 25, rather than the engaging romp that was called for. Nuts to that!
