What people are saying
Mixed: fun core gameplay but marred by pay-to-win and cheaters.
Many players enjoy the fast-paced combat, character customization, and co-op PvE, calling it a fun Naruto multiplayer experience. However, the game is heavily criticized for its pay-to-win DLCs, predatory gacha system, and lack of content for free players. [3][5][7][8][10][14][24][28][29][30][31][33][35][36]
Technical issues like bugs, server problems, and rampant hackers are frequently mentioned, along with a dwindling player base and lack of PvE updates. Some players also note that the game is not beginner-friendly due to high skill curve and pay-to-win advantages. [4][11][16][22][23][25][26][28][30][32][34]

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker had the potential to be the ultimate Naruto multiplayer experience — an open battlefield where you could create your own ninja, team up with friends, and live out your anime fantasy. On paper, it’s every fan’s dream. In reality, though, it feels more like a mobile MMORPG disguised as a PC/console game — flashy, repetitive, and, sadly, heavily pay-to-win. At first glance, the visuals are vibrant, and the character customization is surprisingly deep. The…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't imagine why nobody has complained about this massively yet. This game is not only technically poorly made, but it also has ridiculous, meaningless support from the developers. One day, I was just taken and banned in the game... You might think, well, what's unclear, it means you were using prohibited things or playing unfairly. Well, I'll answer... I am the last person who would engage in such nonsense! I have never in my life used cheats or prohibited things, whether in games or in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Before you buy know this: Yes this is a cool game and basically the only thing that you'll get that's as close to an Open World RPG/PvP Naruto game that we'll probably ever get like we all want. However; know this. This is not a beginner/solo player/free to play player friendly game. The game is filled with teamers/hackers/guilders/spammers who nonstop hit you with all the best paid ninjutsu and weapons so you cannot see, substitute, use any of your ninjutsu, or simply play because they'll…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game ain't goin nowhere. Make it cross platform so I can queue with console.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a long-time fan of Naruto, this game is fun to... only a certain extent. I'm not the biggest fan of open PVP battle royales, and I got into this game mostly because I was attracted to the idea of playing a Naruto game where I could make my own character and play with my friends online. I knew that this game would have open PVP as a large portion of its gameplay, but I was hoping there would at least have some kind of decent story mode outside of that. Well... turns out there really isn't.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shinobi Striker is an unplayable, scam-tier dumpster fire. Anyone leaving a "Very Positive" review is choking on copium. Anti-Cheat Is Non-Existent: Save-editing losers run god-mode, spam infinite map-wiping ultimates with zero cooldown, and bypass every mechanic in the game. You aren't playing a match; you're just a punching bag for script-kiddies. Gacha Garbage: Bandai locks top-tier SS gear behind predatory, rigged loot boxes to force real-money scroll purchases. It literally built a black…

GG lmao.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve been playing Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker for over 3 years now, though not always actively. One thing to mention: I never experienced the game in its “prime,” and at this point, I probably never will. The game definitely tries hard to pull money out of your pockets with its DLCs and monetization, which can be frustrating. However, despite that, the core gameplay is still fun, fast-paced, and unique compared to other Naruto games. Even with its flaws, I can honestly say it has…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a solid game, don’t get me wrong, but it definitely needs some work. I would not buy this game unless it is on sale or something. For the price they are asking ($20 for the regular edition and $70 for the Ultimate Edition), I just don’t feel like there is enough to do to justify buying the game at those prices. Another thing I would like to bring up is the fact that this game can be REALLY glitchy sometimes. In the short time I have played, I have been kicked out of servers, frozen in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →100% a PvP game. nothing but sweats lmao. Good game if you're used to fighting games but the learning curve is wild. Might just be getting to old to game. Add a story line and the games an 8/10 as it stands id give it a 4/10 I Don't recommend because the sweats shine and theres nothing for noobs like me to do thats PvE everyone is already ranks ahead and not playing rank D or C missions you include that and its a 3/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have about 5000 hours played in this game across Xbox, PS5, and PC (Steam). Would I recommend this game for a new player? NO. This game is fun, but unless you were here from the beginning and have all the meta gear, then you will immediately get destroyed and lose any and all interest you have in this game. Play if you want, you'll have some fun, but I'm warning you that this game and its player base are brutal and unforgiving. PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →definitely a game where you have to sink multiple paychecks into to get any extra enjoyment out of, the game itself is ok for a bandit beater alone if you don't care about the extra ninjutsu/specials
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker heads to the Valley of the End with the 43rd DLC character young Sasuke!
unlabelledView post →This game has such a potential to be a creative interesting game to play out of all other Naruto games. Too bad it has too many gamepasses and the mission's stay the same. Also, if it was leaned to be more accurate to the show itself, it whouldve definetly attracted more folks. The real reason it isn't reccomendable is due to the amount of content that is locked behind a DLC. Such as different jutsu and characters. Nothing against having those that you need to pay for to have, except that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is a fun co-op game that really requires teamwork. The customization is great, especially once you see your build in action. I didn’t enjoy the PvP as much, but the PvE is where the game really shines. It can be rough solo and the matchmaking isn’t perfect, but when everything comes together, it’s a blast. It’s definitely more fun with friends than playing alone.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →UPDATE! After a longer testing period I had the pleasure to experience even more frustration with this joke. Besides the long lasting bot, server and connection problems, ragequitters and much more. I wanted just to bring awareness to everyone to NOT BUY DLC. If you ever buy DLC, ONLY BUY SEASON PASS at discount. THE THING WITH "Free skills" is FAKE and a SCAM! DO NOT BOTHER TO EVEN LOOK AT THOSE NTBSS. THEY ARE FAKE. Season pass is NOT "NTBSS" "NTBSS" = TRASH/SCAM/FAKE/NOTHING. Trust the…

unlabelledView post →I strongly advise everyone to STAY AWAY from this game. The developers and their anti-cheat/moderation system are completely broken and incompetent. Here is the truth about what is happening: Unfair Permanent Bans: Legitimate, paying players who play completely by the rules are getting permanently banned without any valid reasons or clear evidence. The system hands out "ill-mannered activity" or "Terms of Service" bans falsely, while actual cheaters, hackers, and toxic players roam free.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →another embodiement of everything that is wrong with videogames nowadays and their desperate need for live-service to pull those fanboy-kids out there, the last penny out of their pockets... disgusting. for example: as if it was a mobile game, i had to click through 20 "news", that loaded in one after another with hints how to buy the several things in this games microtransactions... if it was possible I would rate this game for what it is, worse than no or a negative review. more like a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s a great entry point if you’ve ever wondered what a Naruto multiplayer game with open combat and character building would be like. The game offers both PvE missions and PvP matches, and it gives you a solid amount of freedom when it comes to character creation. You can build your character according to the class you want to play - close-range or long-range, defense or healer - while mixing and matching jutsu from different characters across both series. This flexibility in builds is one of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Better graphics and higher framerate then when I was playing on the PS4 version with my PS5. Improved textures and higher resolutions. This was enough for me to at least take a peek when it was on sale for $4.99, Which it often goes on sale OFTEN. Top things I seen on the Steam Discussions and what kept me from grabbing it for so long on PC. ----- Is the game dead? No, It's not dead. As of 1/3/2026, I was able to find groups for PVE, Survival exorcise, and ninja world league fine.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite fun, the only problem is that a lot of the fun moves are behind a pay wall. If they add a grindy way to get paid moves i would rate it even higher. I give it 8.7/10 due to it being fun, looking good and having a decent quest line.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really like the fightin style and the new charcters, even though the game tanked for a little while i they really recovered from it with new features
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In terms of art style, animation, sound and controls, it's an absolute banger. The customisation is extensive and it's fun to morph different character's looks and movesets together. However, the game is full of jank, infinite stunlocks, hackers and pay to win abilities. The pay to win isn't even that bad but it's frustrating when you've spent money on the game and the abilities don't work properly. The game is great if you're a big fan of the series but I wouldn't recommend it for a fair…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game might have its problems, but those are eclipsed by both the character customization options (when you play long enough) and the relatively lower skill ceiling for pvp compared to games like Dragon Nest.

Its impossible for a new player to get into the game without hacking it to unlock items . That gacha system is insane AF
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had fun with this game, it has so much more potential... Not the best Naruto game around but it's nice that you can enjoy it with friends. Unfortunately there are a lot things to fix: there are still many bugs, servers don't work that well and there are so many hackers. I hope the developers will improve the game, the idea was not bad at all.

I really like the idea of team role pvp in anime games, i feel they did a good job. And the PVE is great aswell. My complaint is i think they have a half baked PVE mode and a half baked PVP mode baked together. Game is most fun when testing builds and getting them to work. And the character customization is done well. This game woulda been a PERFECT…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have quite a bit of time with this game... I do love it. Geniuses made a fast paced competitive game, they really put their souls into making an accurate Naruto experience. But my only concern of its lack of growing is the fact they do not update technology or bug fixes nearly as much as they drop a character 4x's/year, causing these glitches. This game is NOT exactly p2p, you get to play as every Naruto storyline character. But if you want to mix-n-match their ninjutsu's into your…

Skills that take 15 seconds to cooldown for the players can be spammed by enemies every couple of seconds. All hits stagger the player but hitting an enemy before it hits you still lets the attacks through. Ultimate attacks that you get maybe 3 times per mission can be used every 5 seconds by enemies to nearly always 1 shot the player. All compounded by the fact that if you play solo, you get 1 ai ally that almost never…
