Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker Reviews
Because of the lack of story content, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker feels like a game without soul, and that's by far its greatest weakness. Although somewhat captures the feel of the Naruto anime series when it comes to visuals and music, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is a shallow game that shouldn't have been released.
Overall, I just felt like there weren’t enough features in the game to keep me interested. It’s very straightforward to the point of being narrow-minded. You customize your character, you battle it out, and rinse-and-repeat. I don’t think Shinobi Striker’s battle system is enough to keep me interested with repetitive play.
Naruto to Boruto Shinobi Striker is a game that seems to have the right ingredients in place but didn't quite come out of the oven the way that you wanted to. I like the combat mechanics, the various classes, the ability to tailor your character to your needs, and the multiplayer aspect of it. Mission design, however, could be more interesting and the balance could be better. As it is now, the overall experience just feels a bit incomplete and filled with empty calories. If you're a big Naruto fan, however, this is one dish that might still be worth sampling.
My time with Shinobi Striker was a boring, frustrating grind that I really don't think is worth your time. Even for the hardcore Naruto fans, I would say at least wait for a major price drop.
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker introduces players to the world of Shinobie's where you can learn different Ninjutsus. The game has a fun and engaging gameplay mechanics, but also has problems regarding online mode and it's world becomes boring too early.

For those who are on the fence, Naruto to Boruto Shinobi Striker isn't as convincing as it thinks it might be.
I appreciate Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker for not rehashing the Ultimate Ninja Storm formula, and for branching out into something different. It might not be as good a fighting game as its predecessors, but it's a great team-based game that'll delight Naruto fans, and will be a great learning experience when creating Naruto games going forward.
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker has both its good and bad moments. Unfortunately a lot of the bad moments for me was with the combat and constantly getting knocked down with barely anytime to defend myself when getting back up before the onslaught continued, but a lot of that I'm willing to chalk up to my own lack of skill. Still, the VR Missions are enjoyable once you learn the nuances of combat, but don't expect to see me floating around the online lobbies any time soon.
The idea of an online focused Naruto game seemed like a good idea, but a mostly bare bones approach and small scale feel holds Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker back from being a great game. If Soleil can refine many of the game's elements and build upon it however, a sequel for this could be very interesting in the future.
Despite its dumb name Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker can provide a good time, but it needs much more variety in its online play to be worthwhile.
From my time with the banal tutorials to spending hours in online matches, I would say that at this state, it’s disappointing that this Naruto game under-delivers on its fun factors, as well as any content that could prolong its longevity.
Naturo to Boruto is a solid entry to the Naturo franchise.
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker tries to please the Naruto fans this time via a video game. It's not really enjoyable for people unfamiliar with the anime but fans could ignore its problems.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker has done well to provide fans with a new Naruto experience and features some exciting mechanics that are executed really well. Ultimately, the game falls a little short in terms of content, something I would expect to see updated as time goes on. The biggest draw then is in playing online and with friends. By that token, it’s a really enjoyable game to play.
If Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker focused more on the competitive side of the equation then it would be a much more enjoyable game.
There are some novel ideas present in Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker. Unfortunately, these ideas are either clumsily executed or too surrounded by unpolished design issues to truly shine.
If the concept of a multiplayer game in the universe of Naruto is attractive, Naruto to Boruto : Shinobi Striker disappoints by his gameplay, his camera, his matchmaking, well below the standards of an experience to share today, even between fans.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is a refreshing multiplayer experiment in the Naruto universe, which at first glance can't stand out from the standard anime bowler mush either because of its size or its ingenuity. Although Shinobi Striker relies on a small gamut, especially in terms of mission selection, classes and the available VR masters, he can score with his multiplayer component and motivating skill system. The reduced graphic quality, the insignificant story structure and the manageable content, however, give the title an additional bland aftertaste, which consistently gnaws at the long-term motivation. Naruto to Boruto is a nice accessory for all fans of the lively Jinchuuriki and for those who can't wait for the next serious Naruto beat-up. For all the others, the arena beatings will sooner or later offer too little added value due to the manageable size of the arena.

It is true that it will not go down in history and that it lacks a bit more load in single player mode. An interesting story mode would have given some more arguments to a title that works well in its main facet: the online fight for teams. Maybe it's not a game for everyone, but if you're a Naruto fan you should give it a try.

Fast and fun multiplayer brawler with Naruto license, that still lacks in scope.
