![]() A few heart-warming moments in some really well made anime that make it easy to sit back, relax and let it all sink in. The battles were enjoyable as they encouraged the use of characters I may not have tried yet but it was the stories that made it worthwhile. These cover the creation of the criminal organisation Akatsuki, the background of Itachi & Shisui and the early years of Kakashi, Obito and Rin. Ninja Escapades tells a couple of anime stories with a little bit of gameplay shoehorned in. As a mechanical version of Naruto, is there room for the two of them? Only time will tell, either way it’s a very exciting new character to use in battles even outside the story.Īs I’m still a newcomer to the Naruto series, everything I know comes from the games that I’ve played I welcomed the last major offline mode with open arms. If you cut out all the running (or slow walking in most cases) around the Hidden Leaf Village, the story itself is decent and obviously fresh which is good to see. This game exclusive character created by Masashi Kishimoto, has a rather unique personality and a dark side you wouldn’t like to see. Fortunately this is where the Mecha-Naruto side story comes into play once it’s available it incorporates the Ninja World Tournament whilst also telling the tale of its purpose. In short it’s a cool gimmick but there’s not enough here to be the main mode of the game and having to see the intro each time you go back in to do the next grade is an unnecessary waste of time. There’s more chaos added as you climb through the grades with the inclusion of things like rails to perform damaging moves off and creatures carrying orbs that enhance your fighting abilities. Despite being in teams, each team will actually be separated to fight individually in a four way and then all their orb totals get added together.Ĭonsidering the short amount of time in each round, it’s over before you know it and with four players all vying for orbs it gets pretty messy trying to chain attacks. Anyway, the aim is to take on other teams across a set amount of 50 second rounds to earn the most orbs from pulverising opponents in order to drop them. For me, that isn’t a bad thing as my fighting skills are rather limited, in fact I was completely lost at first… I’ll come back to that though. The Ninja World Tournaments are graded from D to S+ and you can’t skip immediately to the most difficult. Although it’s almost a necessity to find partners, unless you can make do with the starter characters, I found the whole free-roam quite restricting, tedious and could happily jump straight into the tournament with both feet. To start with you may well not have many fighters to choose from, but by scouring the area there will be others that can be convinced to help you after you’ve helped them in a task. In order to participate you need a team mate or two as the battles can consist of more than one round. ![]() Each area is quite small and until you complete each grade of the tournament you’ll not unlock any more areas. They’ve included a free-roam type area to navigate with various places to visit such as shops, lottery vendors and people to talk to. Once you’ve chosen your fighter for the Ninja World Tournament mode it’s not just a case of entering the tournament, bossing it and being crowned the champion of the world.
