Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball – 800 MS Points

Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball transforms the innocent childhood game of dodgeball into a vindictive, heart-thumping battle between outlandish groups of characters including ninjas, pirates, zombies, and robots! Use a red rubber ball to tag opponents out of the game, and utilize a variety of weapons, including ninja and pirate swords, to harm enemies along the way. Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball features different arenas with unique gameplay challenges, from sandy beaches and snow capped forests to a spooky graveyard.

  • Presentation: The game was developed using Infyrno™, Blazing Lizard’s next-gen proprietary game engine. The colourful art style, theme, and gameplay are suited for all age groups.
  • Multiplayer: Multiplayer games include four players locally or eight players online via Xbox LIVE®, and four-player co-op modes.
  • Teams: There are four teams of characters to choose from (Pirates, Ninjas, Zombies, and Robots).
