What it is
The Lego Ninjago Movie Video Game is a 2017 action-adventure game developed by Traveller’s Tales. Players take on the roles of Lloyd, Jay, Kai, Cole, Zane, Nya and Master Wu as they defend Ninjago from Lord Garmadon and his Shark Army. Movement and combat build on the game’s “Ninjagility”: players can wall-run, high-jump and fight enemies, then rank up and upgrade combat skills.

Steam lists single-player, multiplayer, PvP, co-op and shared-screen modes, as well as achievements, full controller support, Steam Cloud and Remote Play on Phone.
