When I first bought this game under the first days of quarantine it was love at first sight. I was spent around 100-120 hour in the game in the very first weeks. This game helped me a lot to chill out in thoose hard times and also to live my fantasies. I always wanted to buy an anime based game, but every one of them had a huge problem, which is when I play the game, I want to become the part of the story, not an actual character from the story. And Shinobi Striker completed this task by its brilliant character customization, and also this was the reason which helped me make the final decision to buy it. Another good thing is the game built around massively multiplayer, so there is a kinda short "story" mode, which is good if you are like me started to watch Naruto only about a year ago and became an absolute fan of it, but dont really want so much spoiler. Also there are an OG Flag battle mode which very few game contains, but I absolutely love. Even the gameplay, the mobility and the ninjutsus are astounding and smooth feels so good to play especially after watching an anime and feeling the ultimate power just when we fantasized as kids. There are a lot of thing which would be too long to tell, and I really hope there will be a Season Pass 3, because I want to support this game even more, became one of my favourite title. Overall, this game is brilliant and I can just absolutely ultimately recommend this from the bottom of my hearth, its a game experience what no other game can give, you should not miss out the chance!

(detailed positives and negatives)

Pros:
- A brilliant character customization, which constantly got updated with each ranked season we get still new hair styles, tattos, etc even until today!
- A really satisfying ranked system and ladderboard. Also feels really rewarding to play it.
- A smaller cozy, but a loyal and friendly playerbase.
- Bandai still puts a lot of effort in this game with events until today, no question one of the best and fan loveing company out there.
- Not even suprised my favourite community, just like in Dark Souls there are a lot of people playing with emotes and making funny events in the lobby.
- If you dont like the character customization, there are options to achive ninja masters and play with them instead.
- Ninjutsus are extremely beautiful and the combat as well, coordinating feels smooth and fast, the wire kunai is a brilliant and absolutely creative thing they made to speed up the traveling in the game.
- The 3 ranked game modes are the best game modes human history ever discovered. [Flag steal, Capture the point, TDM.]
- Every ninjutsu can be used to reach the top, there are no pay to win function [Proof: Once made into Global Top 9 with only Sarada's skills]
- The sound effects and music is so satisfying to hear and also very catchy the same time, really similar to the anime's brilliant OST, but still outstanding and unique.
- You can enchant your equipments which is really clear to do, you can build a lot thing, there are so many opportunity for every class. And makes the in game courrency valuable because its kinda expensive so its really balanced.
- There are even 4 different class you can choose from to play with [Melee Attack, Ranged Damage, Healer and Tank.]
- You can make a Male and a Female modell and you can change between them anytime if you want. You just have to buy a Ninja Remake scroll, which is really cheap, almost free. (There are gender specific items, but if you change between Male and Female, you did not lose anything, you just see the Male outfits with the Male and the Female outfits with the Female, was a lot time until I found this information, so np ;) )
- And the final, but not the last there are Sarada in it. Which from me is single handedly enough positivity to buy it. Why am I hear FBI ringing? Strange..

Cons:
- Relatively small player base. Even if this game have a growing player base, its grow kinda slow yet, and its have now a kinda medium-low playerbase. Which isn't effect the matchmaking by the way, because you find matches pretty fast for this player base. There are a lot title out there, what in the top 10 by player number for example Dead by Daylight, and you still have wait 10 minute to find a single match just like in Dota.. Compare to thoose this game have Light Speed matchmaking. The only negativity that you can see sometimes familiar faces, which not always a problem.
- The only and biggest negativity in this game for me is the scary and ugly PEER TO PEER CONNECTION... Mostly the combat in the game is smooth and feels really soft, fast and satisfying. But in the other hand, you can find sometimes yourself in a situation when you play with peoples from damn asia or idk somewhere in the other side of the damn planet. Which is of course makes that match and the combat completely unplayable and especially annoying and irritating. (But pro tip, there are no such thing as leave buster so you can easly go afk until the match is over, but this information is only between you and me ;) dont use this forbidden jutsu too much because its kinda toxic )
- And the last negativity about this game, is teams. Friends was always, and always will be the strongest darkest and most unbeatable jutsu out there. Just like in other Moba team games you depending really much on your team. No matter how overpowered god esport ready player you are, with a bad team you can't do that much. There are a huge skill gap between someone who plays in a team and uses strong jutsus and someone who can actually play the game skillful without a team. Small layer of the players really believe arrogantly that they are gods and the absolute best in the game, even if in the reallity they are below avarage, just have friends to play with. Since I have not a single close friend to play the game, its a bit insulting to me, but without a team I can enjoy it just as much as anyone else. This is not a negativity which makes the game experience worse, it just can be sometimes annoying.
(- And there are no steam cloud save, so you have to manially store your save, so dont forget before you reinstall windows or something, not let your save lost, its pretty common in bandai games that not many cloudizating your save files which is unfortonate. )

Oh and almost forget, but playing as Mitsuki in Hero Festival makes you gay I heard. I love the character in the anime, but if I have to choose, this is the only thing which I absolutely ultimately hate in this game even worse than Susano[BOSS]. The only most broken annoying irritating and I dont even continue thing in the whole game, is the Hero Festival T-bagging Mitsuki players. Makes me wanna vomit.
