naruto ultimate ninja storm revolution story

If you haven’t played any of the Ultimate Ninja Storm games before, here’s a brief overview: you take control of one of the many, many ninjas from Naruto, and use them to kick the living crap out of another ninja from Naruto. Three paragraphs in, let’s get on with talking about the game. So the only people left are those who know about Naruto and are either relatively up-to-date or actually care about being up-to-date. It doesn’t have the most technically impressive graphics, but Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution’s style looks damn good nonetheless. Or reading the rest of this review, I suppose, because considering the character list there’ll probably be spoilers in the screenshots alone. As a non-spoilery check, you probably want to at least have seen the face under the Masked Man/Tobi/Madara’s mask (if you care) before playing Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution.

Second disclaimer: this game contains characters and scenes pretty much right up to the current state of the current arc.

Not because it’s bad (because as simple fighting games go it’s really rather good) but because it’s all about making fans go “ooh”, and if you’re not a fan, you’re going to get very little out of it.

If you know nothing about Naruto – if you don’t know your Rasengan from your Chidori and your Konohamaru from your Konohagakure, and if you think Akatsuki is something spicy you have with rice – then you will get almost no enjoyment out of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution at all. Right, let’s get the obvious disclaimer out of the way.
