Play Dragonninja Online

Dragonninja is one of those old-school arcade brawlers where you just mash buttons and hope for the best—except here, you actually need some skill. You start off with basic punches and kicks, but after a few levels, you're pulling off ridiculous spinning jump attacks while dodging shurikens. The controls feel tight once you get used to them, though I still occasionally whiff a special move at the worst possible moment.

What I love is how chaotic it gets when enemies swarm you—you’re flipping over guys, countering sword strikes, and desperately trying not to get cornered. The pixel art holds up surprisingly well, especially the animations when you land a perfect combo. If you grew up feeding quarters into arcade cabinets, this’ll give you that same mix of frustration and satisfaction.

Just don’t expect a deep story. It’s pure, uncomplicated ninja mayhem.
