Naruto is perhaps one of the most popular animes out there, with a global fan-following filled with loyalists. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, rewards the fandom with an experience that transports them straight into the world of Naruto. Apart from a fast and fun gameplay, you can expect to see the Wall Run feature return, something that fans of the series have been asking for since it was omitted from the gameplay after Ultimate Ninja Storm. However, there’s a slight change in the feature – you can have a character perch on the walls while the other stays in the 3D arena itself. The fights revolve around templates like Ultimate Jutsu and Awakenings, however, you can swap your characters in the middle of battles to use different abilities to defeat the enemy. This makes the game more engaging, with players always on alert regarding which abilities suit the situations they are in the most.
