NINJA STORM REVOLUTION STORY MODE PLUS
These free roam sessions have a kind of extremely basic RPG flavour to them as you converse with the locals and other hopeful contenders whilst performing tasks and collecting items unfortunately these sections are also tediously linear and the environment itself looks rather uninspired, plus the frustratingly archaic use of energy barriers blocking your progress is a particularly annoying addition that all adds up to make these lacklustre sections the worst aspect of the game.Īs you progress through the game you’ll recruit allies to assist you in stunningly hyperkinectic, frenzied four player battles where, instead of a life bar, contestants start with a certain number of orbs which can then be removed by using attacks and collected by their opponents, with the victor being decided by the final amount.Īfter completing the tournament players will unlock a second story mode focusing on Mecha Naruto, basically a robot analogue to the titular hero.
The main story mode is The Ninja World Tournament and the title pretty much sums up the extent of the story as well as the main mechanic – You select your character from an impressively large selection and then fight your way through the different stages of the titular tournament, exploring the island locale upon which the competition is taking place in between bouts.
