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.

Naruto to Boruto Shinobi Striker has a good proposal in bringing the 4 player team missions of the manga/anime to the video games. But what could be a fun co-op online game, ends up falling into the sameness of the genre, bringing very little variety and content for players to keep playing the game.

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.

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 is a mediocre fan-base fighting game which actually won't please any original comic book fans.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Naruto and Boruto fans will find joy in the team-based, MOBA-like matches (both cooperative and competitive) that Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker offers, but it's difficult to recommend the game in it's actual state, with lots of connectivity problems. Given it's nature, we hope this problems will get fixed in the near future.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker provides some fun here and there, but that sentiment doesn't stay along for the whole ride through.

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

Technical problems and imperfect controls prevent Shinobi Striker from really convincing, despite the mix of single player and multiplayer online could offer an interesting touch to the anime series.

Shinobi Striker is a different experience for reintroducing Naruto games, but not all of them are of the same quality.

If you’re a gamer who prefers to play their games solo this may not be the Naruto game for you, honestly you will likely find it more enjoyable to play one of the great Ultimate Ninja Storm games. Shinobi Striker has a heavy emphasis on multiplayer with it’s lack of story mode and the multiplayer game modes making up the main focus of the game’s replayability and loot grinding addictiveness. That said, fans of the Naruto series will have an enjoyable time with this game and will likely get stuck in the addicting loot grind just like I did.

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

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.

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.

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.
