The most mixed Storm game tbh.
I really like the changes to combat. Thanks to the new "knockback types" for lack of a better word, allows you to extend your combos. The option to choose all of your character's ninjutsu is a welcome addition since it allows you to experiment with different team compositions.
I like the customization this game offers. It's similar to Storm Revolution's customization as you can equip body accessories to any costume a character has. I also like how you can chose an outfit color for a character truly making them your own.
The game's original story while flawed, I liked a decent amount.
Other than those positives, this is the most disappointing Storm game.
"History Mode" as the game puts it, is the most lazy way to retell the Naruto story as the game uses images from the anime instead of animating the scene to tell the story. Gameplay-wise it's just normal battles. Every now and then the game will throw in a boss fight but, it's the same boss fights from the other Storm games.
While I like the changes to the combat system, this game doesn't introduce anything new to the arena fighter genre.
This game doesn't do anything to differentiate itself from Storm 4 or any other anime area fighter which is the game's biggest problem.
