Company Overview

Ninja Kiwi, founded in 2006, is the creator of the iconic Bloons franchise, particularly Bloons TD 6, a leader in the tower defense genre.

Team Legion (formerly AutoAttack Games) is the creator of Legion TD 2, the premier competitive tower defense game for PC, with over 750,000 copies sold and an active player base of more than 100,000 annually.

In 2024, Team Legion was acquired by Ninja Kiwi. While we are a part of the larger Ninja Kiwi family, we operate as a smaller, independent team. In addition to supporting Legion TD 2, we’ve begun development on a brand new game, code named Legion Sequel.

With all the lessons learned from Legion TD 2, combined with a higher budget and bigger team, our goal is to make the next big strategy game.

We’re searching for talented individuals to help us achieve this vision.
