Gameplay

The game builds on Clash of Ninja 2's tag team system by adding team special attacks, lets certain characters shift forms mid battle, and gives some fighters a second special technique. A new Three Man Squad Mode pits a trio of characters against another trio, expanding the brawling format beyond the earlier one on one and four way setups.
