Lots of mechanics and techniques, good balance and good battle animations. Even being level 10 in the game, you are able to destroy a levelLots of mechanics and techniques, good balance and good battle animations. Even being level 10 in the game, you are able to destroy a level 1000 person. If you are of course a good player and know how to think with your head.

CE-34878-0: Very often I see this message. I already un-installed the game and reinstalled it infinite times. This crash can occur during PVP matches, in the HUB and even in the waiting room. It's a bit ridiculous that this game is in the fourth season pass, with this number of new players and it's so broken like that.The gaming experience is, to say the least, stressful, honestly.

The character rosters are pretty good with tons of recognizable characters from throughout the Naruto franchise, and the abilities/character customization is also pretty vast. The DLC is rather balanced too since each DLC character comes with a unique move-set and fun customization items, but you don't actually have to purchase the DLC to play as the character. You only need to buy the DLC if you want to use it in your own custom character, rather than just play as the DLC character. So even people that don't want to spend extra money on DLC can still enjoy some of the aspects of the DLC, and I really haven't seen a game use this model before, and I honestly really like this system. There are also moonlight scrolls which are purchasable "high tier" loot boxes, but the rewards you can get from those boxes can still be earned by just playing the game normally. My only complaints with this game is that the hub is very small, and once you get used to the controls it begins to set in that this game should have been open world. The movement mechanics and the maps you fight on are incredibly well made and feel fairly fluid with their "easy to handle, tough to master" mechanics. So having the same system Shinobi Strikers already has, but in an open world setting, would genuinely make for one of the greatest Naruto games of all time. I would argue that future Naruto games should use this game as a model, especially if a Naruto MMO ever gets developed. Many will complain about the lack of a story mode, but personally I didn't miss that. The solo/co-op PVE missions are all fairly enjoyable and the PVP is good too. I rate it 9/10 simply for how easy and fun it is to pick up, play a few fun games, customize your ninja a bit, and call it a night.

I really want to like this game, but after playing it for just a day saying that I'm incredibly disappointed would be a severe understatement.I really want to like this game, but after playing it for just a day saying that I'm incredibly disappointed would be a severe understatement.First, I will say that something I do enjoy is the ability to make your own character, and there's a fair amount of customization options that are available. However, that "fair amount" is just the hair and clothes of already existing canon characters with reskin options, so it gets a little upsetting when you realize the makers didn't even bother to put in the effort to make some original content.Secondly, and with a bit of an anecdote: I've been playing Naruto games since the first generation, Ultimate Ninja and Uzumaki Chronicles, was released on PS2, so needless to say I went into this game with a few baseline expectations.1. Button-combo attacks. Pretty much EVERY Naruto game I've played had a variety of attacks that you could use by stringing together button combos like in any other fighting game including Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. This game somehow doesn't have any at all. All you do is press a handful of buttons to do weak attacks, strong attacks, block, jump, and cast a measly 2 jutsus that cost.2. This game's free roam is... sad, to say the least. Being that there really isn't any. You get a single lobby area with a few "shops" (if you can call them that) floating around and the few NPCs to talk to and... that's it. Seeing the price tag on this game I would have expected to at least be able to explore some more of the Leaf village, maybe even some of the forest areas, but there just... isn't anything. Somehow Uzumaki Chronicles feels like it had far more free roam than what we were given here, and considering that even free MMORPG games like Champions Online have MASSIVE maps for free roam exploration, this is tragic in more levels than one.Speaking of Champions Online, this game falls in two more places that its free companion does: absurd microtransactions and repetitive gameplay. There's a lot in this game that's locked out under microtransactions and DLC, and if you don't want to pay up your options are severely limited in what you can achieve. The meager amount of abilities you have quickly grow boring no matter what playstyle you pick, and I bought the deluxe edition while it was on sale so I got a few bonus trainers to work with but, lo and behold, you don't get anything out of training with them, no new skills or anything, unless you pay up for their specific DLC pack.Furthermore, I was under the impression that the "Digital VR" area was a training room that was training me for real threats that would occur as part of a side-story that would develop as I progressed further in skill, and I was left waiting in VAIN to be able to have a "real mission" outside of it, but it just never happened. The entirety of the game is all in either the VR digital missions or in PVP. So technically speaking, no, there isn't any real story in this game, and nothing to strive for achieving through leveling up your character since you don't gain any extra strength or skill buffs outside of gaining lootboxes for a chance of unlocking cosmetics and weapon items.So for the TLDR: This game has somehow even less options of equipable spells that Diablo 3 gave as options, and the cooldowns on abilities will get you killed much faster than Diablo because of the fast-paced combat, the combat itself is bare-bones and boring with no combos or special attacks outside of TWO jutsu slots, half the game presented is locked behind paywalls and microtransactions, and as the cherry on top the character customization is meager and disappointing.Buy this game only if it's on sale, because if you pay full price you're getting ripped off.
