How to play Atomic Ninjas on Mac

Game summary

Atomic Ninjas is a colorful and funny multiplayer action game, in which you control super-powered ninjas in frantic online matches against other players. However, you are unable to directly kill other players. Instead, you must outsmart and outflank your opponents and kill them using various environmental hazards and obstacles, such as lava pits, laser beams, traps, moving platforms, falling crates, etc. This gives a completely new twist to the traditional 2.5D genre! Each one of the seven arenas is like a playfield with infinite number of possibilities to eliminate the competition. There are pick-ups, crates, lifts, air vents, levers, ninja-launchers, hiding spots and traps to experiment with. The most malicious players will be the most successful ones. Split-screen multiplayer matches and single-player offline matches against bots are also supported.

Play Atomic Ninjas on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Atomic Ninjas on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Atomic Ninjas installation steps for Mac

Step 1

Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Atomic Ninjas like you would on any PC.
