Gameplay

Combat runs on a Scroll of Seals: players choose which techniques to bring into a fight from a pool of thirty two story seals (ninety six once the three playable characters are factored in) plus fourteen more reserved for multiplayer, though only twelve can sit on a character's scroll at once. Seals fall into Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and Other categories, and the game layers on a rock paper scissors style counter system: Ninjutsu beats Genjutsu, Genjutsu beats Taijutsu, and Taijutsu beats Ninjutsu.
