NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4 Reviews

6/10 Sigh, you would think after so many instalments that they wouldn't get worse each time. How are so many other (some small) games getting it perfect while you make 20 games and don't get close? Hellish Quart, Absolver, Sparking Zero, Soul Cal, SWBF2 + SWJKA all got it spot on. Stop taking away mechanics and combos, we have a third of what should be there. Stop giving us a different broken-up version of the story, make one game with a focus on the story, like DBZ does with their games. The soundtrack could have been leagues better, and the animation is fine for its time, but after connections, you are still making worse games across the board. People's fav chars are getting cropped out too, just make one game with a full roster and full move sets. Modders generally do a better job, learn from them cus there is only so much we can do to make these games playable.

ASS, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4 is a flashy mess masquerading as a fighting game. The story mode is a chaotic blend of awkward cutscenes and migraine-inducing fights, desperately trying to mimic the anime’s hype without delivering any real substance. Combat is mindless button-mashing with no strategy, and most of the oversized roster feels like reskins of the same moveset. Online mode? Laggy, unbalanced, and packed with rage-quitters. The adventure mode is just a boring fetch-quest grind with empty hubs and pointless dialogue. Visually, it’s all style over substance—neon effects and particle explosions that make it look like a rave gone wrong. Sure, animations are smooth, but they’re wasted on repetitive, shallow gameplay. Comparison: Dark Souls and One Piece Unlike this trainwreck, the Souls series delivers deep, challenging gameplay with a haunting atmosphere that rewards skill and perseverance. Meanwhile, even the One Piece games, like Pirate Warriors 4, offer diverse movesets and fun, impactful combat that actually feels satisfying. Where Dark Souls demands mastery and One Piece embraces the adventure spirit, Ninja STORM 4 just throws shiny nonsense at you and calls it a game. In short, it’s the filler arc of fighting games—loud, flashy, and ultimately forgettable.

best naruto game no diff. it has the best part of the story and if you have the expasion with boruto it's even better

There is one problem that i had. I have a 2560 *1600 resolution screen. And the game doesn't support this screen size.. What will happen to this screens is that you will have a black empty borders on the top and the bottom. This is really sick.

Great game despite its flaws. I highly recommend playing with the Evolution mod if you want to take part in the competitive Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 community. UNS4e is arguably the best Naruto fighting game out there, with the exception of SNCON4, but that's a mod for a gamecube game and you can't get it here on Steam. Seriously, this game is intuitive enough to pick up with absolutely no fighting game experience, and while the simplified control scheme lowers the skill ceiling, it also means that your hypothetical little cousin who just got into Naruto can play it without rage quitting.

if youve watched the whole anime and know whats gon happen theres no point for you to play this game the battles are repetitive and boss fights has the worst controls ever

its pretty cool if you like naruto n shit. prolly the best anime game adaptation oat.

game sometimes is crashing when trying to play online battle mode

Just a gentle reminder to the gentle reminder that I gently reminded, in case it ever slipped your mind, that I really, really, really, REALLY, like naruto. ユダヤ人はこの世の疫病である But for real though, with the exception of Dragon Ball games (which I won’t comment on since I haven’t played or looked into them enough), most anime games are honestly trash—either super underdeveloped or just lazy Ninja Storm clones. It’s sad, but a lot of them feel like blatant cash grabs with stale gameplay and no real soul behind them. Naruto games, though? They’re the rare exception. They actually deserved to be good because they offered something meaningful, an alternate way to relive the story in a really immersive and engaging way similar to ashuras wrath with its quick time events. And I’m not just talking about the six Ninja Storm games, even older titles like Naruto: Rise of a Ninja had some seriously creative and unique ideas that went beyond the usual formula. Across the franchise, you can feel the passion in so many of the games. They may not have the complex mechanics of something like Tekken but they are at least more complex than most anime games including one piece pirate warriors which are a brain dead one button mashing simulator which is ripped of from dynasty warriors, but as co-op couch fighters, they were top-tier, especially with a roster of over 100 characters to mess around with. It was fun, accessible, and packed with love for the source material. And the world noticed. By 2017, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm was already the third best-selling fighting game franchise of all time, right behind Mortal Kombat and Smash Bros. even now it still is the the most sold anime game ever. And honestly, it deserved that spot. It wasn’t just riding on the anime’s popularity, it earned it by being a genuinely fun, memorable experience that stood out in a sea of low-effort anime titles. and while it wasn't the most complex game, the story and characters gave it that extra boost which makes up for the repetitiveness by introducing a verity of a vast roster of characters.

The Story mode in this game is probably the best way to experience the worst part of the Naruto series. Honestly, I think the abrupt ending of Ninja Storm 3 is better than the real ending of Naruto - but if you're looking to suffer through that, then playing Ninja Storm 4 is probably at least a bit better than reading the drawn-out manga or watching the even more drawn-out anime. I'm usually not a big fan of these arena fighters that have a lot of characters that all play mostly the same, but I actually found Ninja Storm 4 pretty fun to play, and some of the characters are actually a lot different from others.
