You can change-up your combos by using different directions while mashing your punch button. Aside from these added features, the controls for combat remain simple, with one button used for melee attacks, another for jumps and dashes, one for charging chakra and a fourth for launching your Jutsus.

This can be useful to swap to a character while your Chakra is full before launching their Ultimate Jutsu, a devastating attack that’s unique to each character. Each of your characters share their resources, including Health, Chakra and Items. It’s a nice touch, and you just wish it was one they’d introduced a while ago.Īnother new touch to the combat system is the ability to swap characters in mid-fight. It’s possible to get rid of the fire by dashing around the battlefield, or taking damage from water attacks. If a player gets hit by a fire attack, their clothes can become singed and damaged. Storm 4 also sees the introduction of elemental damage. In Storm 4, you can break your opponents’ weapons and armour by attacking certain ways, which can drastically affect the stats a character has. Over the course of more than a dozen games, CyberConnect2 have developed and honed their fighting system until you’d think they can’t possibly add anything more to the experience, but you’d be wrong. Other than those issues, the fights are every bit as fast-paced and crisp as they have always been.

I honestly found this really, really upsetting because I was so used to the Storm series having beautiful, crisp graphics that rivalled, if not exceeded, the anime, but the stuttering during every other fight left me shaking my head. These didn’t really occur during cut scenes, but happened frequently during battles, especially when there were multiple explosions and the like going on.
#NARUTO STORM 4 GOLD EDITION PS4#
While Storm 4 is slated as the first instalment built for PS4 and Xbox One, I had huge, and I mean colossal, frame rate issues during action sequences. And I wish I’d done the same for this one.
This is the first Naruto game I’ve played on a console in a long time I picked up Storm 3 Full Burst and Storm Revolution on Steam for my PC.
Speaking of audio, the game’s default state is English, but you’re obviously going to switch it to Japanese instantly, right? Aren’t you? Surely? The cut scenes in Storm 4 aren’t directly taken from the anime, but instead adopt a sort of story-board style, with audio overlaid onto the images. If you don’t keep up to date with the characters and story-lines, it’s easy to lose track of who’s who and what’s what, but the game does it’s best to keep you up to speed with flashback sequences and plenty of exposition. By defeating all resistance and channelling the power of the mighty Tailed Beasts (which you know all about, because you’re not insane enough to jump into a series with the 16th game, right?), Madara Uchiha and his mask-wearing accomplice aim to ensnare the whole world in a massive Genjutsu, a type of illusion, by using the moon. We join our intrepid hero Naruto, and his massive cast of steadfast allies, as they stand united with the entire Ninja World to stop the machinations of a couple of rogue ninja who want to end the world. Honestly, the story of the Naruto saga is so impenetrable for newcomers at this point that I’m going to assume you’ve followed everyone’s favourite Ninja throughout his transformation from a friendless, prank-playing rogue who couldn’t even use a simple Replication technique, to a god-tier, demon-fox controlling, Super Saiyan-looking, world saving badass. The newest Naruto game (The aforementioned Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, which we’ll be calling Storm 4 from now on) picks up where 3 left off, thankfully, because the games are really the only medium I’ve been following this incredible story through for all of these years. Fast forward some 13 years, 700+ episodes and around 16 games, and you’ll arrive at Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, the final instalment in the hugely successful franchise.
Based off of the manga of the same name, Naruto was about a ninja boy who wanted to become the leader of his Ninja Village.
