Based on the Batman Ninja animated feature, Crossover Pack 8: Batman Ninja, an expansion for the DC Deck-Building Game, takes place in feudal Japan and lets players become Batman, Catwoman, Robin, Red Robin, Red Hood, and Nightwing.

The Super-Villains — The Joker, The Penguin, Poison Ivy, Deathstroke, and Two-Face — are the daimyos who battle from within giant castles that come to life. When the fifth one has been defeated, the five castles merge to become one final titanic challenge. The card backs of the Super-Villains each form a portion of the giant merged castle, with The Joker's head at the top.

Each Super-Villain has colors on its four sides matching the main card types: Hero, Villain, Super Power, and Equipment. During your turn, if there is a card matching one of those types in the Line-Up, you must take the card and place it next to the corresponding side of the Super-Villain. When you defeat a Super-Villain, instead of placing it in your deck, you earn each card attached to it.

The new keyword 'Ninjutsu" provides the Super Heroes some much-needed help as they take on the fearful might of the combined Super-Villains' super castle!

Return cards to the lineup for big perks!

This one takes surprisingly long compared to other crossovers. It's very fun though.

The new super villains providing a windfall of regular cards instead of one excellent one is an interesting dynamic.

The Ninjutsu keyword is the star addition though. Surrendering those cards to the lineup again hurts a little, but usually you do so to gain great stuff.

Great game!

A great shedding game where you play poker hands and power cards.

Nightfall Lite but Not Nightfall 2.0

If you liked Nightfall, but thought individual creature combat was too tedious? You'll probably like this.

If you liked Nightfall but thought the game was too slow to ramp up, or too long to finish/hand out all wounds, you'll like this.

If you thought Nightfall's "Private Archive" claims ended to overpower the game based on luck of the draw, you'll like Unchained's 3x3 market grid.
-----
As far as deck builders go, I like Unchained. It will take awhile to really know the card power combos. The symbols look overwhelming at first, but are kind of intuitive once you're used to how the cards work. Combat is total offense vs total defense and result is one fatigue (wound). So no MTG-ish "creature 1 attacks player B and creature 2 takes 3 wounds against player C." It does speed up and simplify the game a lot. The 3x3 card market is brilliant. You can get cards you want and/or clear out cards you don't want your opponents to get. Much more variety of cards to cycle through than 8+2 archives = 10 cards to choose from per game.

Solid 4/5 all around. I'd give 5/5 if there was a happy medium in combat between Nightfall and Unchained. Not as super simplified as Unchained, but not like Nightfall's individual cards combat. Maybe a power on some cards "stays in play after combat" so there's a larger chance of different strategies than "I punch you, you punch me, repeat"
