Unlike the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm series which is more and more a mess of technical, balance and gameplay issues these days, Brave Soldiers delivers what is a nice, franchise - based
fighting game, at first, i was expecting a simple
fighting game 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.
And
for arcade mode you will be able to have a 2 player co-op because it's not as hard as the
survival mode you have to pass 25 levels alone or with your friend every round is also going to be harder until you get to the last round you will need to
fight the last boss it will be a huge monster zetsu (that never is shown
in the anime / manga) the monster zetsu will be hard to beat of course (you can think of the gaint monster
in resident evil 5 when you were on the car shooting zombies from their motorbikes) zo huge would he be when you almost beat him you need to make a synch kill like assassins creed wolf pack (it would be a sort of team ultimate exemple: Naruto and sasuke... Sasuke will put the zetsu under a sort of genjutsu and naruto will finish him with a rasenshuriken
throwing from the air you can think of the boss battle from storm 3 naruto vs kuruma) but you need to put buttoms like sasuke to hold the genjutsu (like storm 1 when you had jutsu clashes or you were doing the ultimate) and naruto needs to do it too to perform the rasenshuriken
