I found some characters a bit tricky to play as well. The missions do get tougher nearing the end of the game with enemies getting really aggressive. There’s not even a penalty for failing a mission, instead offering you either increased attack or defence before jumping back in with the opponent’s health being the same as it was when you lost the battle. Instead it provides a simple, accessible way to experience playing as Naruto and the rest of the cast in some very cool looking missions. Is there a lot of depth to the missions and gameplay? Not really and I don’t think it’s CyberConnect2’s goal to provide that either. You have to dodge attacks switching between the rails till you reach the end where you finally finish Ten Tails off. The battle then moves to its next phase, a quicktime battle combined with a rail grind section where you’re grinding on the arms of the original Ten Tails. As you deal damage and perform jutsus, you take off its arms eventually defeating it altogether. Once you reach a certain point, a giant Ten Tails clone appears switching the gameplay to a regular battle to fight against it. You start by taking out thousands of Ten Tails clones while dodging attacks. They call their respective summons and for the rest of the mission you play as Gamakichi. One of my favourite missions in the game is one where Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura team up together against Ten Tails. After this, you head straight into the Fourth Great Ninja War which is partially split into two paths, Yin (Sasuke) and Yang (Naruto). It functions as a quick tutorial as well as a showcase for what’s to come, starting off as a regular battle before they summon their respective giant beasts and eventually progressing into a quicktime battle or as the game calls them “Interactive Actions”. As you start the story mode, you’re thrown into a pretty spectacular battle between Hashirama and Madara. While Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 does give a basic summary of recent events, it’s squarely aimed at those who already know the characters and the set up behind them. If you decide to see CyberConnect 2’s version of events, I really don’t think you’re going to be left disappointed. This leaves fans of the anime in a unique position, where they could see how the series ends before the anime airs if they play Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 (with dubbed voices as well if that’s how you roll). Despite the Naruto manga finishing in 2014 and two sequel films last year, the Naruto Shippuden anime hasn’t quite got around to wrapping up the series.
