You are able to edit these cards to give yourself a title and picture which you can either unlock, or buy from the shop using in-game currency. With over 70 characters to unlock and play as, spanning various Naruto timelines, you certainly won’t be found wanting! Every player has their own card, which logs various stats such as wins/losses. With the single player campaign out of the way, you’ll then want to dive into the comprehensive online mode. Depending on what rank you get after each fight, your health bar will recharge a small amount. Survival is a personal favourite, and it sees you take part in as many fights as you can with just a single health bar. These spikes in difficulty can get annoying.Īs well as the story mode, there are a number of other modes to try such as training, tournaments and survival. I won the fight in under a minute and was awarded an ‘S’ rank. To put it into perspective, the next fight was against the older, much more powerful version of Naruto. Instead it was one of the most bizarrely difficult fights I came across in the game. Even with Kakashi’s power nerfed somewhat, it should have been a walk in the park. For example, in one of the story arcs I was playing as Kakashi who was up against young Naruto. My only complaint is that, as with the other Naruto games, you’ll often hit a random difficulty spike that doesn’t make sense. It’s more about strategy than memorising combos, and requires you to know the limits of your character’s attacks and time exactly when to use them. Calling both in at a certain time will trigger a Support Drive, which is a powerful attack featuring all characters.Īs someone who struggles with more conventional fighting games, I do like the system CyberConnect2 has created for its Naruto games. Depending on who they are, they will perform a one shot attack or guard that’ll buy you some time if, for example, you’re trying to recharge chakra. You can also call in up to two teams mates throughout a battle. Explosive tags will knock back an opponent, whilst other items may make them weaker, or you stronger. You can take a number of items with you into battle, which are assigned to the D-pad, and clever use of these can actually turn a battle. Items and teamwork are also still part of the fighting system.

Combining chakra with normal attacks will see combos end in a flashy move, such as a Rasengan, whilst your ultimate attack can only be performed with a full chakra meter. Strong attacks revolve around using up chakra, which drains from a meter at the top of the screen. The time spent in Awakening isn’t infinite, so it’s down to you to make the most of the boost in power.Īpart from that it’s business as usual. When your health is low you can activate Awakening, which elevates your character’s power to a higher level, so for example Naruto will enter his tailed beast form. Especially when your opponent capitalises with a 24 hit combo.Īn Awakening mode has also been added as a kind of last ditch attempt to win a fight. However, avoiding your opponent only to see them then teleport out of the way of your attack makes me want to hit pandas. Completely avoiding your opponent’s attack and then hitting them with a special move is the best feeling in the world. Substitution is both a cause for elation and frustration. This means if you go crazy and run out at the start you may find the middle of the battle a bit tricky. Generations is much more forgiving when it comes to timing, but to compensate you can only use substitution a limited number of times before having to wait for the meter to recharge. It wasn’t a particularly easy thing to get right, especially in the heat of battle. In previous games, if you timed a block just right your character would teleport out of the way of the attack, opening up the chance to counter. The first change is with the substitution system. In terms of the fighting system, it’s very much a case of evolution rather than revolution, although this is no bad thing. I won’t spoil it for you, but the ability to play the story of certain characters made me grin like a loon. Some, such as Gaara, are fairly predictable and you’ll know the story inside out, but others are much more interesting. Completing available arcs sees new ones unlock.
