Gameplay

The game keeps the series' cel-shaded arena duels while adding a substitution bar mechanic and refreshed jutsu for its 38 fighters, plus online matches, a feature the earlier Japan-only entries in the line had lacked.

Story

GNT Road serves as the new story mode, where the character a player picks determines which missions unlock next, letting fans steer the campaign around their favorite fighters rather than following one fixed path.

Release

Eighting developed the game for Takara Tomy, releasing it exclusively in Japan in December 2010 as the closing chapter of the Gekitō Ninja Taisen series before Bandai shifted its fighting-game focus to the Storm line worldwide.
