Gameplay

Combat trades the Storm series' arena duels for large-scale skirmishes where a single hero cuts through crowds of weaker enemy ninja, punctuated by tougher named rivals and boss fights, closer in spirit to a Warriors-style action game than a traditional fighter.

Story

A Chronicle Mode threads together major moments from the Naruto Shippuden storyline, letting players revisit iconic battles from the anime in this new large-battle format rather than the arena duels used elsewhere in the series.
