    Awful performance, terrible ports. Can't say anything gameplay wise since it's unplayable even on high end systems. 30Fps lock (can't be unlocked since engine based). Same graphics as the Games before. I don't recommend to buy this Game, not even after Patches. Such **** companys doesn't deserve any money for that piece of crap. Even an braindead ape could've done a better Game by throwingAwful performance, terrible ports.

    Game sucks. So much lag. Literally unplayable. CC2 Title Screen takes 10 Minutes to fade away. CRAP JUNK RUBBISH GAME. I LOVE Naruto and Sasuke and i was looking forward to playing this game and no one knows how I feel. I CAN'T EVEN CHOOSE A DAMN CHARACTER! LET ALONE PLAY THE GAME. My requirements are fine. Everything is. BUT THIS GAME WON'T WORK.

    In summary, the game doesn't bring any significant evolution over its predecessors other than the Portuguese dubbing and the number of particles on the screen, on the contrary: it looks like a poorly made console port with grotesque problems in audio and frame rate.

    In summary, the game doesn't bring any significant evolution over its predecessors other than the Portuguese dubbing and the number of particles on the screen, on the contrary: it looks like a poorly made console port with grotesque problems in audio and frame rate. In fact, I believe that this is exactly what it is: a poorly made port, as it borders on the unplayable. The number of grotesque technical problems and the producer's lack of zeal for simple-to-solve details only leaves open contempt for the public. For anime fans, maybe Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja STOM 3 Full Burst is less frustrating, and with caveats still, just with a generous discount and look there. The STROM Revolution (which looks more like a DLC from 3) and the STORM 4 for free are still expensive for the quality they deliver.

    cons

    - Audio problem forces you to change native sound quality to 16bit via Windows, otherwise the game will have a deafening hiss;
    - Totally unstable and buggy 60 FPS mode, sometimes the game seems too fast, sometimes it is in slow motion with grotesque drops even with a setup much higher than recommended;
    - Without support for ultrawide resolution (21:9), you will be forced to play with the infamous black borders on the sides or reduce the resolution to Full HD so that you can finally play in full screen;
    - "Cutscenes" are nothing more than static images of the anime with narration on top, they didn't even have the zeal to put scenes from the anime in fact, choice that screams "2007" in your face, totally tacky and without immersion;
    - Combos and attacks remain extremely limited and little diversified, which makes the experience extremely repetitive and boring;
    - Some totally disposable boss battles;
    - Totally dead online mode;

    pros

    - Dubbing in PT/BR with the original actors;
    - Considerably better particle effects compared to previous games in the franchise (explosions and the like with better definition;

    Verdict

    NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4 delivers glitches and pathetic issues considering it was released in 2016. It's a tremendous disregard for franchise and anime fans. I do not recommend the purchase to anyone. Finally, I express that Bandai won't see the color of my money anytime soon as it wasn't the first time that something of this level was released by them.    … Expand

    And while console gamers have an overabundance of fighting games to choose from, Ninja Storm 4 is one of the few AAA fighting games that has transitioned to PC, so that in itself gets a thumbs up from me.
