with some button mashing, however, the game proved me wrong and i
fell in love, the combo system, while easy, is a lot more deep than the one
in the Naruto games,
with all
of the
characters having two special attacks, two «burst attacks», a knock - away and a launcher respectively, a throw and an ultimate attack (called a «Big Bang Attack»), every
character also has an universal dodge - action that sends them behind their enemies while spending one cosmo bar, making bar management that much precious and shielding you from a half - a-hour combo, unlike
in the NUNS series, the fighting and the
characters are nicely balanced,
with every
character being fun to play and viable at the same time, the game runs smoothly without frame - rate issues and the cell - shaded graphics,
character models, arenas and effects alike are nice to the eye, battles are divided into rounds,
with all the tiny nice stuff like
character introductions and outros being intact (fun fact: the
characters will even comment on their score after the battle), the game also features an awakening system, called the «Seventh Sense» awakening, unlike the NUNS awakening system which became severely unbalanced
in the later game, every
character simply gains a damage / defense boost,
with the conditions being the same for all
characters, eliminating situations when one
character can use awakening at almost any point
in the battle, or one awakening being drastically stronger than the other, the game has a story mode
with three story arcs used to unlock
characters, a collection mode, tournament modes, a survival mode, a series
of special versus modes and online battle modes.
