The gameplay is reminiscent to Final Fantasy: Tactics, but combat takes place on a chessboard-like arena, which means this is more like a board game than a full-fledged strategy RPG. Still, the strategy involved is deep and quite interesting, making this one of the best turn-based Nintendo DS strategy games for the DSi platform.

You will have sniper ninjas and various other unit types to slow down waves of demons.
Ninja Town also has a nice multiplayer mode that lets players defend their own town and whoever defeats each of waves of demons first is the winner. If you like TD games, then you must play Ninja Town as the gameplay is as slick and as addictive as any other PC tower defense games , plus you have a very unique plot and cartoon Ninjas to play against waves of attacking enemies.
