[9][10] In Lego Battles: Ninjago, players command six builders and seven heroes with three unlockable versions each.

They construct key buildings like the keep, brick bank, mine, barracks, and tower, the latter featuring elemental upgrades.

The game's storyline revolves around ninja training and the quest for the four golden weapons, while an opposing narrative follows the skeleton army, led by Samukai, in their pursuit of the same artifacts.

AppSafari rated the game 3/5, stating that "Rise of the Snakes is clearly an app meant for children; while some kids who are Ninjago fans will enjoy it, it’s unfortunate more care wasn’t put into making it fun.

Across six levels set in the Ninjago universe, players engage in actions such as spinning, slashing, stomping, and smashing to combat waves of enemies.

Ultimately, successful gameplay leads to achieving the status of Spinjitzu Master Sensei Wu.

The central storyline revolves around the ninjas utilizing their distinctive skills and vehicles to navigate challenges, defeat enemies, and uphold peace in Ninjago.

The unfolding narrative mirrors the efforts of the ninja to counter the emerging threat, providing players with an immersive experience that seamlessly combines elements of action, strategy, and adventure within the Ninjago universe.
