Each is a series of four-player matches where instead of a life-bar, players are awarded a certain number of orbs. The tournament fights in the game are problematic, and this is unfortunate since they're touted as the main single-player event. This is particularly fun in more traditional battles that are played in the side stories. It keeps the team member interactions-to help out of a tight spot-substitution jutsus (so that when attacked you can replace your body with a log, or smoke, depending on the character) and ultimate jutsus (Uchiha characters' genjitsu, Naruto's more advanced Rassengan techniques, etc.) make for satisfying destruction. It also includes a defense breaker, slightly changing the flow of the game when these techniques are in play. In terms of gameplay, in individual fights Ninja Storm Revolution adds a few new features including a counter mechanic that has to be specifically timedВ and stuns opponents, making them easy pickings. If you aren't already a Naruto fan, and this paragraph sounds like random gobbledegook, just walk away-this review has nothing more for you to see. None of these are particularly well-developedВ andВ are either totally apocryphalВ or could be inferred by information from the regular NarutoВ series plot. The first tells the story of the recruitment of the AkatsukiВ members whose backstories are less developed,В the second introduces a new member of the UchihaВ clan and develops his relationship with Itachi Uchiha, and the third is a brief cinematic about Tobito's personal character, directly relating it to Naruto's own personal history. So instead of the standard story mode, there is a secondary mode, Ninja Escapades,В with three new animated stories by Studio Pierrot, with the first two stories broken up by in-game fights. Perhaps this is because the manga and anime are so close to finishing that developer CyberConnect2 wants to be able to devote Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 to the complete NarutoВ narrative, and Ninja Storm Revolution is just too closeВ to chance a story mode that's so nearВ its end. Ninja Storm Revolution ditches the prior game mechanic of letting players play through the most recent plot developments of the animeВ for a sort-of world tournament side-story it plays a lot like a filler episode of Naruto or DragonballВ Z. Having done so, and seen the legacy of where that story's gone, the game still feels cheap. In order to get up to speed, I spent halfВ a day reading up on characters and synopses after where I'd dropped off. However, I adore MasashiВ Kishimoto's comic it's based on, though I haven't read it consistently since the end of Part 1.

In full disclosure, I am not a regularВ fan of the NarutoВ (or Naruto Shippuden) anime, due to what feels like ten minutes of recap in an twenty-two minutes episode. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution (this is the last time I use the full name, I swear) feels suspiciously like a cash grab.
