In order to win the World Ninja Tournament start from the bottom (D Rank) and fighting up through the divisions to the top (S Rank) is required, and only then, once the last battle has been fought, can the title of best Ninja be claimed. By making the player unlock the characters gradually, it does at least ensure that the majority may get tested out during the course of the tournament, but it does raise the question of how many of these playable ninjas can be written off as filler / clones, thrown in just to bump the roster up to the magical 100 figure? Every fighter in the game has one of three different play types ('Ultimate Jutsu,' 'Awakening,' and 'Drive'), which admittedly will likely mean a whole lot more to the Naruto faithful than they do to those that do not religiously follow it (or self confessed Noob-utos), but each style has its own set of strengths and weaknesses that can be sussed out.

Once the player has pulled up to shore and chosen a fighter, the island becomes available for exploration and the hero is free to interact with other characters, recruit allies for team-based competitions, buy / earn customisations, perform tasks / quests and, most importantly, sign up for the preliminaries of the big competition.ĬyberConnect2 has included a whopping 100 playable characters, which could be seen as quite overwhelming if it wasn't for the fact that they aren't all available from the start.


The main bulk of Naruto Revolution revolves around the World Ninja Tournament that takes place on Festival Island, which, in keeping with the previous games in the series, serves as an activity hub to pad out the experience between bouts.
