Players praise the game's cinematic story mode and boss fights as a standout anime adaptation. [1][2][3] Some reviewers criticize the final boss battle as frustrating and poorly designed. [4][5][6] Many note that while the combat is solid, later entries like Storm 4 have more polished mechanics. [7][8][9]

Truly awful final boss, literally a giant gauntlet if the biggest enemies with the teeny tiniest hit boxes, I have been unable to finish the game because one of the bosses has such a specific hit box that it is no longer worth my time trying to beat them, truly awful, the only area you can attack this boss is in the sky where they can hit you from anywhere, you cannot dodge, the game has disallowed you from healing, …

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst is more than a fighting game, it is a landmark in anime gaming that redefined what fans could expect from adaptations of beloved series. CyberConnect2’s vision was not simply to replicate battles from the anime but to immerse players in the emotional and cinematic journey of Naruto’s world. In doing so, it crushed the competition, particularly Dragon Ball fighting …

The story of Naruto is beautifully adapted, with incredible animations and spectacular boss fights. It's an absolute pleasure to experience the story and its battles, with plenty of fun to be had with friends outside the campaign. 100% steam achievements Time : 47.3H Completion Difficulty : 3/10 Playthroughs : 1 Missables : None Notable requirements : Complete the campaign with S rank for all bosses.

I recommend the game wholeheartedly even though it's been around for over 10 years, the story is very good, better than the one in storm 4 in my opinion, 79 characters that you don't get bored with. Combat is good but storm 4 has it much better. I didn't get to play online matches because the game is most likely dead in that regard. Otherwise I can say that it's worth playing and it's not very expensive either, I …

It's pretty awesome, until the very last fight. That is one of the worst boss battles I've ever played.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the first Naruto manga/anime game released for PC, covering the story around the Ninja War where you face Madara. The gameplay can be divided into three parts: Open world: Interact with NPCs and complete side missions. Combat: There’s a massive amount of battles—not just with bosses or main characters, but even minor NPCs. Skills and challenges: Some achievements, like “All Times Boss S Rank,” require time, patience, and real skill. A fantastic game not just for Naruto fans, but for…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 3 Full Burst is both a love letter to long-time fans of the Naruto series and a mechanically robust anime arena fighter that refines many of the elements that have defined the Ultimate Ninja STORM franchise. Developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Bandai Namco, the game picks up in the middle of the Fourth Great Ninja War arc and blends story-driven cinematic flair with fast-paced, accessible combat. Released initially in 2013 and later brought to…

While the overworld exploration feels like a downgrade from the first game's open-world Konoha, the vastly improved narrative delivery and legendary cinematic boss fights more than make up for it.
