Whats the difference from Storm series?

[Nonomori]

So except from updated graphics, new characters (maybe) and new modes, is there some major differences that can persuade a player who played all of the Storm games to get it? Because so far I actually cant see what so special about it.

[Hace]

Yeah,theres nothing special lol. Storm was actually more fun as we can go as 3 teamed but here you get 2 jutsus with cooldown time and thats it. Also limited misson time. But this game has potential.

Watch gameplay videos, HSenju didn't explain it well.

Here you can move your camera and move more freely. You can pick your 2 jutsus to use from masters that you level up by playing the missions and online modes. Don't worry, the masters level up quickly. You also can choose your ultimate jutsu.

You can customize your character too.

You can also equip a weapon and a ninja tool. There are many. Don't like fists? Use claws, don't like claws? Use a sword.

So yeah just go watch gameplay and make up your mind. Don't listen to people saying it has no new features. They probably haven't played it or just hate the game.

Overall this game is the most unique out of all of the other games. Storm 1 is also pretty unique as you get an actual free roam but in the hidden leaf

Bruh i love this game lol. It has great potential but the devs aren't making it happen.

This game is MASSIVELY different from the Storm series. Where Storm focuses on 1v1 battles a bit closer to a traditional fighting game, this game centers around 4v4 matches where you freely run around the combat area. As well, Shinobi Striker focuses around the use of a Create-A-Character, though you're still able to use characters from the show. (At the moment, SS has fewer characters than in Storm 4, but it's not so bad. :D . . . It's still missing staple characters like TenTen, Shino, and Kankuro, though. . .)

Despite the game's many flaws, the focus on `acrobatic ninja-combat` is pretty fantastic. :D Apart from during laggier matches, movement feels incredibly solid as you transition between running on the ground and jumping and dashing along the walls. Though some may state that only having access to two jutsu during a match is incredibly limiting, I'd say it's so for the sake of game balancing, as any more than that would practically railroad players into using particular `builds` centered around recovery in tandem with something providing invincibility at -all- times due to the nature of some jutsu. Or any more would likely just trivialize their use.

The customization in the game isn't really all too bad; you're able to mix and match recolored pieces of equipment that characters in the show used. It sounds kind of trashy, but you can come up with some pretty tasteful aesthetic creations! >:P In this regard, the game is pretty similar to the Dragonball Xenoverse series.

All and all, though, it's a great game. :D There's quite a bit of depth in the combat system. I've over a thousand hours and don't regret a second of play! (Apart from that week or two that the game was down like a year ago. >.>;)

EDIT: Adding to the point of two jutsu, I can't imagine a -single- Defense setup that wouldn't have Subterranean Voyage if we were allowed to have three jutsu. Not a one. Or we wouldn't see a -single- attack type that doesnt use the Sharingan as their third jutsu. As it stands, all of the jutsu have a utility to their use, apart from -just- dealing damage or healing. They all 'do stuff'. Having any more than that would see players all running the same exact third-jutsu, moreso than people already seem to try to copy eachother without researching how to play the game for themselves.

Well if balancing is the issue then maybe they could add a visual jutsu in a separate slot like a 5th ability which doesn't do so much to imbalance the game but would be nice to have.(Lets say we can choose one visual power among BYAKUGAN,SHARINGAN or RINNEGAN and *future visual jutsus*). I mean i expect more from a game which is based off something complex,big and have a lot of content like .i.e Naruto. At first look i thought this would be massive rpg where you can choose several jutsus and play in a huge map with 10 other players like a 10v10 thing where you have a big field. That's what i was expecting. But now its only 4v4 which isn't bad but its really limited which is getting boring. I wish i could enjoy this game but i can't seem to. I even bought most of the DLCS for more variety but nope. It didn't help much,not saying the game is bad but it could be better. It only takes time to think of a balanced way to add more variety to this nice game.

Tbh i think an extra visual jutsu wouldn't be so bad cuz just add like 40sec cool down to it specifically and its better than before. Well if you say that's literally what substitution jutsus are,then i can't argue but both aren't the same exactly right? It would also look good to have more variety and flashy stuff. No one wouldn't mind having it and its not something exploitable or something which people could spam all the time which is why people complain about imbalance in adding another jutsu.Even if its 40sec cool down,it would still better than before.

Kind of annoying to see such great potential go to waste and also there is one more thing which is gonna be accepted by everyone,that is a feature to the game which shows the no.of players queuing for Quick play, Ninja world league and events,just have a number beside those,showing the number of players queuing and it would be great.

So yeah like I said no big differences except new "free roam" mode and updated graphics. It even has less characters and less jutsus to use lol.

There is no free roam mode, it's in storm 1. It just seems like you skimmed through everything

Being able to freely run around combat area = free roam?

More like 3d arena area to roam in that's not really free roam

Storm 1 has actual free roam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAU0oEHsYLw&t=544s

They had Hidden Leaf free roam in the latest installments as well tho, no? Like DLC for Storm 4 where you do all kinds of quests or Revolution where you run around that island.

i had no arguement that stated the other storm games dont have free roam, except revolution they didn't have fully 3d exploring.

About shinobi striker arena having free roam. you are in an enclosed space, even though you have 3d and can move freely its not really free roam.
The only thing that is free roam there is The hub. I don't want to argue about this.

[Hace]

Lol stop pls. Free roam or not who cares but the main thing is the game is literally a 4v4 simulator. It is getting boring without variety and stuff. The only thing i love in this is the survival arena where its free for all. Only that is fun with more enemies and space. Idk how people are ok with just 2 jutsus like wth yo,what are you gonna do with 2? take your time and use them like a photographer waiting for the insects to fight? the actual anime has like 1000 types of things and this game has limited characters ,i think rn there are only like 20 or 25 and the max prolly is like 30(not sure). The updates are slow,each update they release 1 character like cmon. I was expecting all the usual characters to be there from the beginning but they make release of ino a big thing.

-Echidna .

If they add tons of things and majority of the things from the anime then the game will have too much gigabytes. It doesn't seem fair to criticize a game for lacking things from an anime when the anime itself has 720 episodes. They added the main and some side characters, adding characters like kushina who have pretty lame movesets would be a waste.

They are adding 2 justus, an ultimate jutsu, customization things from the character, new animations and a weapon. They seem to be adding fast but i haven't checked.

[Hace]

Tbh i am not criticising the game,i am just annoyed bout the fact that this game could be better with more stuff. Too much gigs you say? I don't think most of the players who play games on a daily basis or invest time to play games care about a game having too much gigs. R6 is like 70GB even CSGO is 21GB and PUBG is around 30GB and no one really complains about their sizes. I don't think adding even 10 more gigs would be a problem. And yes everyone might use sharingan but you can balance it with cool down bro. I am not saying 3 jutsu slots should be available for the permitted jutsus from respective classes but there should be 2 as usual + 1 visual prowess jutsu rn i think there are 3 i.e. sharingan,bykugan and rinnegan and none of these are too op. Being able to use one of this at the least doesn't do much to imbalance the game or have a big effect towards the negative side. I am mentioning this again cuz i think Echinda thought that i wanted to have 3 jutsus not 2 jutsus+one visual "only"(A separate slot only for visual technique). Now if you say its very small then more the reason to add it bcz it helps adding more variety and now that you said its small it shouldn't be a borther to you cuz whoever says this considers it small. I don't hate this game,iv'e been looking for something like this but a lot bigger and i was expecting it to have way more than this does and this game is limited af. I am kind of depressed lol.

[Nonomori]

Maybe they will fix these problems in Shinobi Striker 2 if it will ever be a thing? And thats when it can actually become worthy of purchase x)
