If you are tired of those old, epic single player storylines and local versus matches that your usual Naruto games offer, here's your chance! Shinobi Striker is anything but that. Not everyone's cup of tea, but gives a breath of fresh air to a long running fighting games series. Me? I'm up for some more of that stale air of the Storm series! Not a bad game, though.

Shinobi Striker is in a dire need of maps and modes, and looks like the developers have no idea on how to tackle this problem.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is not a great game. Though it has an entertaining character creator and some fantastic customization options, separate the game from the license for a second, and it becomes clear that Shinobi Striker is a sub-par action game and an even worse multiplayer experience. The game sets an interesting foundation for future Naruto games, if only conceptually, but no one save for the bravest of Naruto fans would likely enjoy Shinobi Striker in its current form. Better off next time, Naruto. Believe it!

Por mais que eu adore Naruto, esse jogo não é pra fãs - é um sugador de dinheiro ambulante que da um tapa na cara de qualquer um que ainda espera um jogo de anime diferente nos dias atuais

Yes, people sometimes say that a diehard only know Naruto fans play the game. But the fact that I played the game without knowing anything about Naruto and I liked the game so much It got me to watch Naruto (even though I don't like anime tht much and was a diehard dragon ball fan who played xenoverse 2) and finished Naruto seeing it as the goat of anime and when I heard about people wanting a storm 5 and saying storm is better than Shinobi striker I got curious and since the first 3 storms were on sale I bought the game and storm 1 was boring but okay it was boring because u need to play other missions to play the story missions which have like 3 cutscenes. And storm 2 was bad in every way possible. The dialogues are long the walking in this game Is long and boring and removing free roam was Ew honestly. People praise it for having the best story mode but only the fight with itachi vs Sasuke was good the rest were bad and long and filler (Jiraiya vs pain) I didn't like that. Couple of cutscenes doesn't make a game good especially if the gameplay was bad as the combo was slowed down and very boring. Storm 3 was better with more nice cutscenes and more roster and the instant awakenings was a nice touch. But again the world is boring and Kyubi vs the bijuus was hard for no reason. Also the Naruto vs Obito shouldn't be like that technically Naruto is no where near Obito especially in base form. Storm 4 was the best the cutscenes were amazing, graphics and they added more characters. The story mode is great but the slideshows are bad PowerPoint presentation ahh. So, from my experience Shinobi striker is a better game for the long term. Nah pwt is just skill issue when I didn't buy dlcs I used to eat plats ,silvers,golds with ease when I was a silver. U need the right Jutsu combo and the right weapon especially the weapon. But I can understand that pwt feel because dlcs bring more fun to the game like who doesn't want to turn into the Kyubi and throw two massive rassenshurkien at the opponent? But the dlcs are retavily cheap comparing to other games like 3$ for 2/3 jutsus, cosmetics, hairstyles,etc ... Is affordable especially if the dlcs go on sale or there's a free trail event going on. But the netcode needs fixing if only the game was more popular and developers have more money they would have fixed it and added more gamemodes,maps,1v1s too. Game is underrated heavily and needs some more players who aren't toxic and don't complain about everything. After the last kakuzu dlc the game became so much better as they added the battle road system which is a free battle pass and amazing weapons alongside they reduced the crashing of the game (for me onPS4) and super rarely it crashes 99% of my matches had full players.

Its laggy crashes and would be fun if it didnt the game is generally money hungry and I paid for multiple things and didnt get them even after a year of complaints wouldn't recommend if you use PlayStation there are some weapons like the attack purple lighting katana that are just so unfair and un fun to fight against

This might be the first Naruto game in a long time that does something new, blending anime with class-based online battles. The idea may seem a little strange but it works well, and it would be great to see Bandai Namco build off this with other anime franchises in future. Shinobi Striker is well worth your time if you like the Naruto series and even worth trying out if you just want a new multiplayer experience to get lost in.

Engaging, fast and frenetic, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker feels good in its attempt to recreate the action of both manga and anime, despite minor issues here and there.

I want to start with i love this game im
a big fan of Naruto books, shows, and games I started playing shinobi striker in February 2025. ever since I started playing I’ve spent all my time on this game buying DLC’s really grinding my way up in the ninja ranks. this recent update 2.63 nerfed the skyward lighting bow & arrow slowing its attack timing and also the tracking ability, while other weapons in the game have been buffed. That puts range users at a great disadvantage, I usually play by myself and that alone puts me at disadvantage because most people play with peers. I usually have to fight multiple people at once and there’s where the bow speed and my movement speed comes into play and i can depend myself better, It also takes away from my offense because of the slower attack timing. This was a mistake please return the skyward lighting Bow & Arrow back to normal

Technical problems and imperfect controls prevent Shinobi Striker from really convincing, despite the mix of single player and multiplayer online could offer an interesting touch to the anime series.

While it’s certainly not even close to being what we got with Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm, it’s still a fun and enjoyable game that surprised me quite a lot more than I expected it to.

It’s frustrating that Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker isn’t better, because the elements it needs to be a great game are all there.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker feels more like a commercial opportunity rather than a sought-after project. Ultimately the game will feel dull to most of the players but the most hardcore fans of the Naruto IP.

This game shares a lot of DNA with the Dragonball Xenoverse titles but manages to falter at almost every aspect, with flaws in the mission structure, the combat, the way you attain loot and in the way that you develop your character.

The multiplayer is pay to win garbage that's a bunch of weirdos who get satisfaction out of having no skill. The single player I'd give 2/10, but it just feels like an excuse to have multiplayer. Any gamer who is actually looking for a fun game to play and not just buy into will likely get 2-3 hours of fun out of this game, not much more.

This is a VERY GOOD online game! It has interesting mechanics and is very fun to spend some hours playing with your friends. The possibility to create your own ninja and build the powers is what makes this game so different from other Naruto games in my opinion.

Great potential but too many bugs on basic things in the game. Players are constantly dropping making team matches, uneven. Some of the weapons are too OP and make the game very unenjoyable. These basic things overshadow some great characters and maps and any desire to play frequently. I’ve been playing this game since it first launch and it’s come along way but these things make it very frustrating.
