To play Ninja Saga, go to ninjasaga.fbgamesweb.com, create a free account, press Play, build your ninja around one of five elements and accept your first mission in the Mission Room. Everything is done with the mouse. This guide covers the account, the character creator, your first mission, combat, leveling and the shop, with the real numbers of this beta edition, which is in English.
Open the game in your browser, create your free account and follow these steps from your very first mission.
Create your ninja, pick your element, take on missions, win turn-based battles and upgrade your gear in this classic Facebook ninja RPG.
In beta: some parts of the original game are not complete yet and you may run into bugs.
Go to ninjasaga.fbgamesweb.com and use the button to create your ninja or account. Registration asks for a username of 3 to 24 characters, a required email and a password of at least 8 characters. Facebook is not needed.
Then press Play. The game opens with your account without asking for your login again, and on your first visit you land in the character creator. Logging out on the website ends your game session too.
The creator asks for a name (2 to 20 characters; a message appears if it is taken), a gender (Male or Female), one of 18 hairstyles, hair and skin colors and one of five elements.
Each element gives a first skill: wind, Twister; fire, Fire Ball; lightning, Lightning Edge; earth, Earth Smash; water, Water Burst. All cost 30 CP (chakra), deal 20 damage and then wait a few turns.
A new ninja starts at level 1 with 1,000 gold, a Kunai, a Ninja Bag, the Sapphire Warrior Ring, 100/100 health and chakra, and experience at 0/15.
You arrive in the village. The top right shows level, health, chakra, experience, gold and tokens. Signs include Mission Room, Academy, Shop, Encyclopedia, Gear and Skills; others appear but do not work yet.
Open Mission Room, choose Story, grade C, and accept “Hardworking Ninja”: level 1, with the tutor Shin, paying 20 XP and 20 gold, enough to reach level 2.
The room offers 20 grade C missions for levels 1 to 20, paying 20 to 660 XP and 20 to 515 gold each. A mission above your level is refused with “Level too low!”.
Each mission is a turn-based fight. Your action bar offers Attack (a basic weapon strike), Dodge (defend), Charge (build CP) and Run (flee), and a row of skills spends CP.
The fight ends when one side is out of health. Winning shows “Battle Complete” with your XP and gold, and maybe “Level Up”; losing or running pays nothing.
The totals needed to reach the next level are 15 at level 1, 304 at 2, 961 at 5, 2,843 at 10, 6,306 at 15 and 10,922 at 19; at level 20 you stop leveling. Each level gives 1 free point to spread among wind, fire, lightning, earth and water.
Do the math: the 20 grade C missions, done once each, add up to 5,980 XP and 4,655 gold, but level 20 takes 10,922 XP, so you will repeat missions.
The Shop stocks weapons (147), clothing (59), hairstyles (30), back items (21), accessories (8), consumables (35) and essentials (5), each with a minimum level and a price. The first weapons need levels 2 to 6 and cost 140, 210, 280, 360 and 430 gold.
Open Gear, your inventory, to equip a purchase if you meet the level; the weapon changes your basic attack damage. The Academy sells skills by element, plus taijutsu and genjutsu.
You play with the mouse; keyboard shortcuts are not documented.
If loading fails, the game offers a retry or a reload button. Only one game session is allowed per account, so a second tab or device makes the first ask you to reload.
Three steps and you're in.
From this home page. Each game opens at its own address, with its own start screen.
A quick sign-up inside the game. Your progress is saved on the server, not in your browser.
You play in your browser, with no Flash and no downloads, on a computer and, depending on the game, on your phone too.
Go to ninjasaga.fbgamesweb.com, create your account, press Play and create your ninja. In the village, take a mission in the Mission Room and fight with the mouse. You earn experience and gold, level up and buy weapons in the Shop to equip from Gear.
Ninja Saga registration asks for a username of 3 to 24 characters, an email address (required) and a password of at least 8 characters. Facebook is not needed. Your ninja's name is a separate field, 2 to 20 characters long.
Choose wind, fire, lightning, earth or water. Each gives a first skill: Twister, Fire Ball, Lightning Edge, Earth Smash or Water Burst. In Ninja Saga all five cost 30 CP and deal 20 damage, and the Academy sells more skills.
“Hardworking Ninja”, level 1, with the tutor Shin. In Ninja Saga you find it in the Mission Room under Story, grade C; it pays 20 XP and 20 gold, enough to reach level 2. The next, “Blacksmith's Request”, is level 2 and pays 40 and 40.
The Mission Room offers 20 grade C missions, which add up to 5,980 XP when done once each, while the level cap of 20 takes 10,922 XP in total. So in Ninja Saga you repeat missions. A mission above your level is refused with “Level too low!”.
Buy it in the Shop, where every item has a minimum level and a price, then equip it from Gear if you meet the level. The Sickle, for example, is level 2 and costs 140 gold. The weapon changes the damage of your basic attack.
You get no reward, neither experience nor gold. Only winning pays in Ninja Saga: the fight ends when one side runs out of health, then “Battle Complete” appears and, if you level up, “Level Up”. Run flees and Dodge defends.
If you see “The game could not start”, press the retry button; if you see “Connection Error”, its button reloads the page. Also check that Ninja Saga is not open in another tab or device. If it keeps failing, open a Support ticket with a screenshot.
