An entertaining blend of character-based drama and comedy, with intriguing twists, turns, and exciting action and thrills makes House of Ninjas a surprisingly enjoyable show.

The different storylines start to converge and there is some modest thrills even if the character motivation is weak at times and there is one hard to believe fight.

There's promise in this demo EP, but uneven songwriting and performances as well as muddy production and engineering keep this collection of atmospheric rock tracks modest. It does accomplish its mission of making you want to look more into the group though.

House of Ninjas concludes with "The Eclipse", featuring multiple extensive fight sequences and the resolution of the Yosuke's plot to mass murder countless Japanese.
