First game in the series and it's mildly ok.
The game does have jutsu clashes, wall combat and being able to start a battle in awakening but that's about it.
The story mode is ok at best. Sure, it does have the best open world out of all the Storm games but, the mission system is bad. The system basically forces you to do side missions which wouldn't be a bad thing, if the side missions didn't suck.
The game also skips A LOT of the Naruto story essentially making the game an abridged telling of the story which is fine, but some story beats don't make sense as they skip the setup for certain fights.
Other than story mode, this game doesn't have much content.

A decent platform fighter.
It's a solid starting point for big platform fighters other than Smash Bros but it leaned too heavily into the competitive side of platform fighters.
There are almost no causal modes outside of a bare-bones arcade mode.
The game is a good starting point but it really feels like this game had a very small budget which hurts it in the long run.

Good story with great characters. The customization is good for diversifying your team.
The multiple routes are pretty annoying for replays as you have to do the pre-time skip every single time.
Not only that, the game is long so you have to invest over 40 hours just to experience all of the story which is absurd even for RPGs.

A solid arena fighter.
While lacking in content, the gameplay is pretty good.
On the surface, it's another arena fighter. But, if you do a little digging you will find that this game has depth. Some characters have different playstyles and mechanics to use. Thanks to the small roster, each character feels like they had time to flesh out their gameplay.
