It’s not going to end up headlining EVO 2016 but that isn’t the game’s aim. It features wide-open levels with gigantic, screen-clearing power moves that keeps everything very stylised and on-brand. NS: UNS4 has more in common with Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi than it does Street Fighter IV.
Ps4 naruto storm 4 series#
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, like the games in the series that preceded it, are 3D fighting games that behave a little differently to what most people think of when they picture the genre. The game starts (and spoilers for anyone who isn’t up to speed on the anime) in the middle of the Great Ninja War and barrels on from there, only stopping to ask, and then answer, the big questions: Where’d Kakashi actually get his Sharingan from? Who’s the dude behind that orange mask? Will Naruto ever actually get anyone to “believe it”? In terms of story, NS: UNS4 actually does a great job of taking an anime that is hundreds of episodes in length and cutting the chuffa, getting straight to the fights it knows the fans have turned up for. Maybe I waited too long to jump back in because good lord nothing about the story this game is telling made any sense to me.

Having been through the same thing with Dragon Ball Z only years prior, I couldn’t bring myself to go through it again. I ravenously followed the adventures of this boisterous ninja kid for seventy-something episodes before the story slowed to the point where it felt like it wasn’t moving.
