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.
The Fourth Great Ninja War represents a clash between extremely powerful characters and the
game manages to capture the over-the-top nature of the battles, constantly switching between perspectives and allowing
gamers to experience plenty of events from the long history of
Naruto, including the fall of Obito and the way Madara seeks to gain
ultimate power for himself.
The DLC will consist of a new 3 - hour scenario focused on Gaara, a costume for The Last Sasuke to make him Adult (Wandering Shinobi) Sasuke, 3 new combination
ultimate jutsu (Perfect Susanoo Sasuke / Itachi, Lee / Guy, Team Guy), 1 new Ninja Treasure Set, 10 New Ninja Info Cards, 10 New Matching Voices, and 10 costumes from previous
Naruto Storm
games.
