I have a thing for Chinese and Japanese motifs, so I naturally have an interest in games which have an East Asian theme, regardless of how pasted on the theme is. I've waxed lyrical about Ninjato in a review before, and my impressions of it have changed little since then. It's the kind of game that I appreciate - one without too many things to keep track of, and a need to maintain momentum so that actions aren't wasted.Ninjato has some fantastic artwork, and I decided to take a shot at a minimalist poster/box cover design:
The design takes inspiration from the cover of A Most Dangerous Time. While the confrontation in Ninjato is more political than bloody, it's nice to dramatise abstract movements once in a while. The design doesn't give an indication the main mechanics of the game, so the elements will be more familiar to those who have played the game already.
