  Thanks to some welcome changes to its core systems – mainly the improved battle mechanics and the great onus on story content – Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto is the most accomplished and enjoyable instalment in the series yet. While it’s certainly more for the hardcore Naruto crowd, it’s nevertheless a meaty package with an impressively vast roster, a huge amount of unlockable content and the addition of the film-tie in for the Baruto storyline.

  Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 – Road to Boruto is the most complete fighting game in the series thus far, with every DLC and over 100 characters that span generations. Arena fights featuring strategic ninja jutsu action are exciting to play out, although it does feel simple compared to other fighting games. The story mode, with its intense quick-time cinematic sequences, is a highlight, although it only covers the very end of the long series.

  Road to Boruto goes above and beyond what I expect from an anime-inspired game. Not a single facet of this game is done lazily and everything has the same effort and care put into it. Barring some minuscule graphical issues and somewhat shoddy plot points, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto is this generation’s Dragon Ball Z: Budokai.

  A feature-packed port of one of the most beloved games in the series, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road To Boruto has, unfortunately, aged poorly.

  Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road To Boruto is just as fun now on the Nintendo Switch as it was back when it launched. It’s another impressive port for the portable home console’s library that doesn’t seem like it’ll ever slow down.

  While it won’t change anyone’s thoughts about the base game, Road to Boruto is exactly what an expansion pack should be. It features a meaningful new campaign, which is fun whether or not you’ve seen the movie, several new characters, and does a good job of scratching the gaming itch for Naruto fans as otherwise there wouldn’t be a new game this year. It’s definitely worth picking up for those that enjoyed Ultimate Ninja Storm 4.

  Overall, the Road to Boruto expansion for Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4 offers more of the same over-the-top action, which for many players will be enough for them to part with the cash. Those like me, who don’t follow the anime but avidly play the games, will be happy to catch up with Naruto and Sasuke in their later years whilst following Boruto’s endeavours to become a real Ninja.

  The gameplay found in Road to Boruto is as you would expect from playing the base version of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, with it still being the best in the series to date. Whether using regular attacks or implementing ninjutsu or secret techniques, most every character plays very differently. Boruto is especially fun to use, as he has two distinct gameplay styles via either his regular move set or the one based around a tech device given to him.

  The Story, Adventure and Boruto's Tales add up to at least 30 hours of content, and are all executed brilliant, with exception of the frame drops in Adventure mode. If Naruto has a nostalgic place in your heart, then Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto is a must-own.

  Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 - Road to Boruto is more of the same, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The new story mode is a nice adaptation of the film, and the added characters turn this into the definitive Naruto fighter. Newcomers might find the roster and story overwhelming, but fans will certainly be able to appreciate all the care and love put into this expansion, even if it doesn't redefine itself in any major ways.
