Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm
Evolving the head-to-head fighting action of the Ultimate Ninja series, NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja STORM allows players to battle in full 3D across massive environments. Players unleash powerful jutsu attacks, perform acrobatic evasive maneuvers and even run up walls and over water as they pursue their opponent for ninja supremacy. Players customize their character's fighting style and recruit up to two support characters to put their own stamp on the action. Each character in the game is capable of unleashing powerful Awakening abilities under certain gameplay conditions, offering new traits and talents to the game's ninja roster of 25 popular characters from the animated series. NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja STORM supports head-to-head multiplayer fighting for up to two players. Allowing players to further immerse themselves in the world of NARUTO, NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja STORM introduces all-new free-roaming exploration across the Hidden Leaf Village and the Forest of Death. Players can search every inch of these iconic environments to take on more than 100 unique missions, collect valuable scrolls and interact with additional characters from the NARUTO animated series. Injecting additional variety to the game's head-to head combat, these missions include races, special deliveries and large-scale battles against massive opponents.
What it feels like
Fast-paced 3D combat with acrobatic movement, powerful jutsu unleashes, and pursuit mechanics create a kinetic rush. The game faithfully recreates the Naruto anime's sincere character arcs and world without irony.
What it's about
The Naruto universe features magic (jutsu), mythological ninja traditions, and fantasy aesthetics underlying the combat setting.
How it plays
Deep combo-driven melee combat with flashy jutsu attacks and acrobatic evasive maneuvers is the core moment-to-moment gameplay loop. Running up walls and over water, with acrobatic evasion maneuvers, grants expressive aerial and environmental traversal as a core mechanic. Full 3D combat in massive environments requires target-locking to manage spacing and pursuit of opponents in head-to-head battles.
How it looks and sounds
Japanese anime-inspired character design and visual language directly drawn from the Naruto animated series. Camera follows the ninja protagonist from behind/side angle during combat and exploration across 3D environments. 3D models rendered with stylized shading to emulate the anime art style of the source material.
How it's structured
Head-to-head 1v1 fighting against other players is the main competitive mode and central draw. Campaign and mission-based progression through story and exploration is a significant component alongside multiplayer. Free-roaming exploration across the Hidden Leaf Village and Forest of Death as discrete explorable regions with over 100 missions.
