    Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker captures the essence, the speed and the personality of Naruto magnificently well. It’s deep, engaging and distinct. There’s certainly some adjustments needed for class balance, and matchmaking can indeed drag on for longer than it should, but when everything clicks into place, there’s little else that comes quite as close to the source material as this does.

    Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker marks a bold new direction for Naruto games, trying to innovate the brand with a new kind of fighting game. Unluckily it falls short on its objective though, due to a lack of content and the omission of a proper story mode. However it's got some very interesting features and a fresh gameplay approach, so it's definitely worth a try buy Naruto and fighting games lovers.

    Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker finally achieves its goal of catching the player, especially if you are a Naruto fan, by being a really fun video game. Its combat system, although quite simple, will always want you to execute a strategy coordinating with your team.

    While having the potential to present an enjoyable competitive experience, the camera and the instability of the game makes it unworthy of the players time or money, at least for the time being.

    Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker takes a risk by venturing into the online battling arena genre and it doesn’t pay off. Putting aside the technical issues for a minute, and to be fair there could be a good experience here, but even then the combat and movement is difficult to master.

    The idea of developing your own ninja is a great one, but here it relies on you engaging in action that feels borderline broken at times, sucking all the fun out of the process.

    Shinobi Striker could have had some decent material if the combat and camera wasn’t so clunky. The issue is that because of this mixed with the overly dull mission structure and chaotic multiplayer makes for just a bad experience overall. If only there was some redeeming quality to it, I would suggest it to maybe hardcore Naruto fans, but aside from the visuals looking pretty good, that’s all I can say. My time with Shinobi Striker was a boring, frustrating grind that I really don’t think is worth your time. Even for the hardcore Naruto fans, I would say at least wait for a major price drop.

    The graphics look good for the art style they chose for this, however the overall visuals do not look as good, polished or as flashy as say Storm 4, the story is almost non existent, considering that the only purpose of talking to characters throughout the small world you free roam in is just to find challenges and unlock new items or abilities.
    Just like Xenoverse, it is nice to create your own character and get in on the action, however the amount of customization and abilities is criminally underwhelming
    I would recommend buying the first season pass and playing the game in one sitting, unfortunately the game is both to long and too large to warrant replay value, however if you are a fan of the series, I would consider playing it with friends, instead of just alone, but I would recommend Storm 4 way more than this    … Expand

    The online components of the game held up pretty well throughout my time with the game and any problems were very few and far between. I lovedThe online components of the game held up pretty well throughout my time with the game and any problems were very few and far between. I loved the visual style of the game and when they combined with the good sound design it did make the gameplay become more fun and immersive. Traversing in combat is very fun and that’s mainly because everything feels so fluid thanks to the fantastic controls that have been implemented. I really enjoyed creating my own ninja and that was mainly due to there being quite a lot of customisation I could use when creating my character. The world in which the game takes place in is a little on the small side and this did make traversing around it a little bit tedious.
    There is nothing much at all when it comes to a story and I often found myself getting a little bored because of that. The missions are good at first they do unfortunately get repetetive quite quickly and that did take the fun out of completing them a bit. Does Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker do enough to get a recommendation from me? Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker did stir up a lot of interest within me and that was mainly down to it looking like it was trying to create something different in the series. This something new then does make the game stand out a little bit, but in the end even though the game has quite a bit of fun and enjoyment included it isn’t up there with the best games this series has to offer. The main reason why it isn’t up there with the best of the series is because it doesn’t do enough to keep drawing you in time and time again and I think that’s mainly because the world in which the game takes place in is small and the missions that are in the world get repetetive quite quickly. This however doesn’t make this game a bad game it just means that you get bored too quickly. That being said Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker probably still does just enough to get a small recommendation from me because the online works very well and when in full flow the game is very fun even if it’s only fun in short bursts.    … Expand

I read the reviews a while back and a lot of them either said stay away or it’s decent and there’s fun to be had but only for the diehards. I don’t consider myself hardcore but I like a lot of the Naruto games. This almost seemed like it was the other fighting games that Namco puts out but just puts different franchises over the same engine so I thought maybe this is like the ninja storm games. I was wrong. Not only is it simplified but it really isn’t all that engaging of a game. It seems like a grind to 99 and whoever has the highest level is going to win online because they were dumb enough to grind this game out and top out. I found this structure of gameplay is really old and not new at all. It seems like micro transactions for a lot of stuff is also locked out. Long story short. This game is more of a chore to play then fun. It really dies seem like your button mashing most of the time and hoping for the best unless the opponents online are over leveled. Unfortunately I can’t recommend buying this game. If you own game pass then give it a try but in the end you’ll be glad you didn’t pay 70$ for thus garbage.… Expand
