In the middle of a match, you may find yourself facing down a giant or the threat of a huge, world destroying attack. Not all boss fights are relegated to these rail shooters, though.

Flying through the are as Susano’o blasting at a Tailed Beast is fun thanks to the constant threats thrown at you and the sense of urgency. The shooter segments don’t sound like they’d fit the world of Naruto or your typical fighting game very well, but actually add to the grandeur of some of the larger boss battles. The QTEs may sometimes leave a bit to be desired (although they do unlock amazing scenes that further the story), but the rest is implemented very well. Huge boss fights that are a mixture between dynamic combat and QTEs, battles against hordes of enemies, and shooting segments (seriously) help to break up the monotony of your standard fighting game. You still have the anime cut-scenes and splash photos you’d expect between matches, but now fights have tiers that break up the type of action. Rather, it is used to give you some sort of incentive to continue on to the last fighter.īut in Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, the story transforms the way in which the game is played, specifically the story mode. Normally in a fighting game, this behind the scenes narrative doesn’t have too much of an effect on the game. The evil forces behind the previous games have finally shown their faces, and new powers threaten not only the Shinobi way, but the entire world. Taking place at the end of Naruto’s quest, Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 throws players into the center of the fourth Great Ninja War. The question on everyone’s mind is if it actually succeeded. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is the latest in a long line of games that has tried to accomplish that goal. Hands are often tied when it comes to just how crazy you can get, and it doesn’t always work out well. This is often times doubly true when dealing with a very popular property. Between balancing fan-service and trying to deliver something fresh and unique, the developers always have their work cut out for them. Games based on anime don’t always have the best runs.
