Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker Reviews
I, personally, enjoy almost anything with a competitive element to it. Add character creation and a beautiful presentation into the mix, and that was enough to make me feel like this is a worthwhile game.
Under all the technical issues and horrible camera, you can find a great multiplayer experience, but until those issues are fixed, this game isn't one that you would consider.

A fast and frenetic adventure, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is greater than the sum of its parts. Despite some voice work that feels rather flat and a handful of other minor issues, the game feels genuine in its attempt to recreate the action of Naruto, and forging your own custom character's legacy is bound to be enough to entice fans.
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker provides some fun here and there, but that sentiment doesn't stay along for the whole ride through.
Naruto to Buruto: Shinobi Striker is an interesting game because it's unlike any other Naruto game released before it. Its focus on multiplayer modes might turn off some gamers mainly because the game lacks a traditional single player mode. That being said, there is still some fun to be had in the game if you are able to get used to the fast paced and repetitive gameplay.
This game shares a lot of DNA with the Dragonball Xenoverse titles but manages to falter at almost every aspect, with flaws in the mission structure, the combat, the way you attain loot and in the way that you develop your character.
While it's certainly not even close to being what we got with Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm, it's still a fun and enjoyable game that surprised me quite a lot more than I expected it to. The asking price of $60 might be a bit much to some, but if you're a fan of Naruto in any capacity I'd say the game is worth checking out at some point.
NARUTO TO BORUTO: Shinobi Striker is a different and good game between naruto games and has good potential to be a much better game. The 4V4 idea is well implemented but there are problems such as overpowered jutsus that sometimes make the matches unbalanced. There is also sometimes Latency problems that can completely ruin a match. I also think that game modes should change faster, for example the combat mode was the only playable Ninja World League event for several days and this slow pace of change makes it boring. But beside this problems, there are also many good aspects that make the game enjoyable and entertaining. the Core gameplay mechanics are fun and if you’re a fan of Naruto or want a new type of competitive online game, NARUTO TO BORUTO: Shinobi Striker is a good choice that worth your time to try it.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is an ideally superlative project but it is not convincing on all points of view.

This might be the first Naruto game in a long time that does something new, blending anime with class-based online battles. The idea may seem a little strange but it works well, and it would be great to see Bandai Namco build off this with other anime franchises in future. Shinobi Striker is well worth your time if you like the Naruto series and even worth trying out if you just want a new multiplayer experience to get lost in.
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is a courageous experiment that aims exclusively to online fightings, not offering much to the single player lovers. Fighting online with your ninja is definitely fun, but there's still some problems with the server and the camera.

Developer Soleil should be commended for giving players a fun world to create their ultimate ninja and then try out your best moves on people. The combat doesn't flow as nice as earlier games developed by CyberConnect2, but it's satisfying to run up a wall, jump off, and pull off a ninjustu mid-air. While that feeling is great, there is not enough built up around it to keep you engaged and feeling like a part of the ninja world. There were options out there to make the game a living, breathing, ninja brawler with some character, but those must have failed the Chuunin exam. Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is a good start and will provide you with a good time, just don't be surprised if you find yourself growing tired of the rinse and repeat of VR missions and PVP.
It exactly captures the essence of the Naruto from the original anime series. The Speed and personality of the protagonist is displayed with clarity and even though it is largely focused on the multi-player game feature, there are many single player missions to help you accumulate some XP and skills.
Naruto fans will probably appreciate the fact that they'll find themselves in their favorite universe again. Otherwise, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is simply a bit underwhelming. Although it's certainly not bad, it had much more potential.

Soleil's Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is definitely a game for fans of the franchise that want to have a different experience than the CyberConnect2 series. While not perfect, it offers an interesting experience based on multiplayer and cooperation.
An ambitious attempt to create a multiplayer focused ninja game in the Naruto universe. The foundation created here is solid but the content offered is just not good enough to attract the fans who have played the classic Naruto games with their story-focused campaign.
Shinobi Striker is a different experience for reintroducing Naruto games, but not all of them are of the same quality.

There are so many things I can complain about with Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, but ultimately, I can't help but admire the effort. It's not a cinematic experience like the Ultimate Ninja Storm games, and it won't take you through the story of Naruto or even Boruto, but when the multiplayer games work in your favour, it feels good, and unique. It's just a shame it doesn't feel good for long.
Ultimately, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is an entertaining, competitive, and addicting game that truly captures the visual style and overall feel of the source material.
