The Naruto series of fighting and action games now feels like it has been a big deal in the United States at least as long as mankind has had four fingers and a thumb, so it probably shouldn't come as a surprise that another one is now available for purchase in stores and online. This one is called Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, and you can play it on your PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC.
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker was developed by Soleil Ltd. and is published by Bandai Namco. Players can team up with friends and go head-to-head in "high-octane, 4-versus-4 online battles." Two squads fight for shinobu supremacy across a variety of modes, including Flag, Barrier and Base battles.
"Since the beginning, the Naruto franchise has always been about the powers of friendship and teamwork prevailing in the face of insurmountable odds, and that's the exact type of gameplay experience we wanted to give players in Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker," said Eric Hartness, Vice President of Marketing for Bandai Namco Entertainment America. "Whether you and your teammates are workign together to secure bases, capture flags, or take down monstrous Tailed Beasts, it's going to look, feel, and sound like you're really a part of the authentic Naruto universe -- the only thing missing is the smell of a fresh bowl of Ichiraku Ramen when the dust settles on the battlefield."
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker has a notice on its packaging (at least the packaging I saw) noting that an Internet connection is required. That makes sense, given that the game is all about duels with and against friends, but it does feel like it could limit the title's longevity.
If you're interested in Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, you'll be relieved to know you can purchase it for $59.99 USD at your favorite shop, whether that be a physical storefront or a digital space. Something, something, Hidden Leaf Village...
