How long does a game of Ninja Dragon take?

Is it turn-based or real time?

Both exist in this category. Tower defence tends to be real time with pauses between waves; tactics games are often turn-based. The start screen will make it clear.

24 games

Strategy games slow everything down and ask you to think. Tower defence, turn-based tactics, resource building, territory grabs. Sessions are longer than most browser games because decisions compound: the tower you place in minute two determines whether minute eight is calm or chaotic. There is time to plan, and the game punishes you only when the plan was wrong. Losing teaches you something specific.

How to play

1Read the objective on the first stage and look at the map for choke points, resources and your base.
2Spend your starting resources on a small number of strong positions rather than spreading thin.
3Watch how the first wave or enemy turn plays out, then adjust before committing more.
4Upgrade what is working rather than adding new things. Concentrated strength wins most strategy games.
