From the spinning lotus to the shadow clones, the orange jumpsuit shinobi and his gang return with more unbelievable surprises! The ongoing hit anime series, Naruto Shippuden, will soon have another fighting game joining the Ultimate Ninja series called “Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution”. However, one wonders what will drive gamers to play “Revolution” from the previous sequel called “Generations”.
Mecha Naruto and New Designs for Akatsuki
As usual, this new game centralizes around Naruto’s numerous playable characters and their combat skills. With over 100 characters, does quantity actually beat quality? Having numerous versions of Naruto is quite unusual but necessary for Naruto and his Nine Tails/Sage powers.
Yet, Naruto receives another transformation of incredible power called Mecha Naruto. With supervision and consolation directly from Masashi Kishimoto, CyberConnect2 not only add Naruto’s new transformation but also include new designs for Akatsuki. With these new changes, the tremendous battle forge between Mecha Naruto and the Akatsuki members will transform fighting experiences.
Counterattacks and Guard-breaks
Now, retaliate chain attacks or combos from your adversaries through counterattacks. Though players can take advantage of counterattacks, opponents could still initiate never before guard-breaks. These new mechanics open more opportunities for players to defend and attack crafty competitors.
Therefore, try other characters and check out there finishing moves. Joining the regular cast includes Naruto’s parents, Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, Obito, and others. With these new faces, players can enjoy the new background stories and animated cut-scenes before competing in a tournament.
Tournament for Four Players
Instead of facing opponents in one-on-one matches, players may clash with four fighters at the same time. However, the Ninja World Tournament Mode is a single-player mode. Though this tournament offers unique battle strategies, players should also check out the game’s other features.
As a personal suggestion, gamers should really check out team battles. This game feature includes a chance to fill three empty slots with characters, enabling the ability to customize teams. Additionally, incapacitated team members will automatically be replaced with reminding members during the chaotic match.
As a reminder, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution arrives this September 2014 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC (steam) in the Americas. Therefore, make sure to reserve your personal copy and pre-order the game to receive any bonus content!
