If we talk about the Naruto Ultimate Ninja series as a whole, then they are ALL the same in terms of graphics, gameplay, engine, this is a conveyor belt, this is normal, and fans don’t need anything more, only the plot, techniques, combinations, and all sorts of goodies change from year to year , and multiplayer is improving, which is very important.
As for the single, it’s just cool, like the manga\anime itself, although they deviate quite a lot from the anime and manga in terms of all sorts of little things, but the essence remains, it’s quite interesting to look at a slightly different outcome of events.
The gameplay is tailored ideally for a gamepad, playing it with a mouse is just a mockery, I don’t recommend it to anyone, don’t even try, if you go through the story, in multiplayer you will be fucked, if you have a gamepad then buy it play boldly!
Overall, the game deserves 9 out of 10, the graphics are on par, gameplay and controls too!
