The verdict
A fun anime ninja brawler with deep character customization and solid PvE co-op, but heavy pay-to-win DLC and gacha, hackers, bugs and a small player base. Skip it if you want fair PvP.
Great for
Naruto fans who like building their own ninja and playing PvE missions with friends, ideally bought on sale
Main risk
Pay-to-win DLC and gacha, hackers and mismatched matchmaking make online play frustrating
What changed in the last 30 days
55 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews cite pay-to-win gacha, hackers, unfair bans, lingering black-screen bugs and empty matchmaking. Likely a gradual trend rather than one patch; moderate confidence.
