Free ninja games you can play online have gathered quite a following in recent years. More and more arcade game website owners and flash game developers seem to be willing to take their chances with ninja games online. Popular titles in this flash game genre all share a few common traits, such as the setting in medieval Japan, the traditional ninja weapons, and the appearance of the game characters. However, one aspect of these games that sets each of them apart is the amount of effort and detail that was invested in their creation. One ninja game worth mentioning is Dragon Fist 3.

The online ninja game Dragon Fist 3: Age of the Warrior, the third game title in the sequel, features a number of options and game play characteristics that rivals paid games. This game is a side scrolling fighting game, which up to four players can play against the computer. Some of the features include thirty two playable characters, out of forty two total, fourteen fighting styles, and the ability to play in single or multi-player modes.

The developers of this online ninja game made two different versions of the game in order to allow owners of lower computers to share the fun. For these slower computers a smaller version of the game was released, which also has a slower screen resolution for faster load up times. There is also a Mac, and a downloadable version which the player can enjoy right on his desktop. Included in the regular version, the player can still choose among the options given a lower screen resolution, the use of weapons or not, whether to see blood in the game, and the ability to disable sounds.

Each player, if playing in multi-player mode, will have their own set of controls based on the keyboard. They are not at all difficult to learn, and provide enough character controls to keep the player busy for a while. The controls feature basic movement commands to move left, right, jump up or block. Then there are your attack keys, which command the character to punch, kick, or throw weapon. For hard core gamers looking to intensify their playing experience, there a number of key combinations available to each player made for special commands, sweeping, grabbing, and picking up objects.

Another great feature of this online ninja game is the inclusion of a character editor. However, this editor will only become available to the player after he successfully completes the first level of difficulty. Moreover, once you have decided to give a try in single player mode, the game goes on to offer a quick battle, a challenge match, a regular game, or a practice round. Perhaps this fighting game title was not designed with beginners in mind, but rather hard core ninja game followers who seek a more intense experience, have some knowledge of the genre and would like to take advantage of all the detail this game has to offer.
