Ninja Warz is a Facebook Fighting Game developed by Broken Bulb Game Studios and released in 2009. There, players own Ninja mooks and fight other players using their clan. The game involves Inevitable Tournament, Shops (Relic, Weapon, Ninja), a Hospital, and a Dojo. Also, a few number of mini-games.

At the beginning of the game, you start off by picking your clan. You can choose the Fire, Lotus, or Shadow Clan. Each have their own "advantages", but equipment will ultimately determine the characteristics of your clan.

There was also a sequel, Ninja Warz 2, released in 2015.

These games provides examples of:

  • Awesome, but Impractical: Plus this. Some of the weapons in the game include a wreath, a lunchbox, nunchaku with a scythe on the end, and bladed tonfa.
    • Weapons made of ice.
  • Big Ball of Violence: This is how you fight.
  • Bilingual Bonus: This game has a suprisingly large amount of Shown Their Work.
    • For example, there is a to-do scroll with "things to do" in hiragana. (Note: the "to do" is in informal form.)
    • There's a series of fans that have the Kanji for Fire, Earth, and Water. On the Emerald Scimitar the Kanji for soil/earth is at the base of the blade.
    • There's a boss whose name is Tondeiru Josei, "Tondeiru" is the present form of "tobu" meaning to jump, referencing what she does before battle. Her sister Heikinteki Josei share the last name "Josei" which means "female".
    • Gratuitous Japanese: Tondeiru Josei's sword is called "Daikatana" which is an alternate reading of 太and刀, typically read "Tachi"
  • Blatant Lies: Crowning Moment of Jerkassery, there is now a sign on your little island that says "Free Karma". Then it links you to their buy "karma window".
    • They changed it to "Get Karma."
    • It's free, you just have to pay for it first.
  • Breath Weapon: Genbu shoots energy beams from his mouth.
  • Bribing Your Way to Victory: Karma costs money.
  • Mana Meter: Subverted. There is magic, but you buy it with Tokens or Karma.
  • Mêlée à Trois: The three main clans are The Fire Clan, The Lotus Clan and The Shadow Clan.
  • Named Weapons: Every weapon is named, even if it's just "Splintery Hammer"
