Many players say the game feels like a lazy reskin of Storm 4 with few new features. [1][2][3] The story mode is widely criticized as a boring slideshow that cuts out iconic fights. [4][5][6] Some reviewers enjoy the gameplay improvements and large roster despite the flaws. [7][8][9]

Update 20/08/2026 (New patch with Nanashi included). The game is still bad, they also added new special challenges that are so bad, some are tied to Online, yes the dead game mode. New titles to grind, same with proficiency level that also got raised, they're not beating the allegations that they created a job. 4/10. This is the worst Ultimate Ninja Storm game ever made, I'm not joking, even worst than the first …

this game is very lazy, it retells naruto's story once again, and it's told in the worst possible way. It's literally a slideshow of images with background voice, very weak. then the "special" story is boring, you barely play it, and almost always consists of cutscenes with tons of dialogue. the gameplay remains the same, at least there's that, but otherwise, this game is complete garbage. It's super expensive for …

Get it on sale, its just a ninja storm 4 reskin but if its on sale then id buy it which i did. But dont expect something as good as storm 2 or storm 3.

Maybe it’s not a perfect game, but it’s really, really fun. The animations are great, and landing those finishing moves feels incredibly satisfying. This game actually made me rewatch Naruto and Shippuden — and even give Boruto a chance, because the Boruto characters here have amazing animations and cutscenes. If you’re a Naruto fan, I think you’ll really enjoy this. Compared to Ninja Storm 4, I personally prefer …

do NOT play history mode it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD the ONLY reason someone should pick this game up is for the special story mode!!!!!!!! I do really enjoy the fact that they got rid of tilts and made them into a second ninjutsu. That addition dramatically improves the quality of the game.

53% of the 185 Steam reviewers we collected recommend NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS. The complaint that keeps coming up: story mode is a lazy slideshow with missing fights. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know this is a very popular opinion in the community, but man this game is a disappointment. This was the sequel people waited years for, and it just doesn’t deliver. At some point it honestly feels like for as bad as Boruto is, the game had to match it. My number one complaint is the voice acting. What happened? I know there’s some explanation about frame rate changes or whatever, but there is absolutely no emotion behind most of the lines. It genuinely sounds like early AI voice attempts…

neutral · AI labelView post →Verdict: A huge letdown. Ninja STORM 3 and 4 are better in every single way (fights, animations, emotional moments, variety of characters in Campaign …). I would say that it is redundant if you have the previous games, otherwise wait for a sale due to how lazy the Naruto campaign is. Completionist: 20 hours with the event, 30 without it + Positives + + Steam achievements (45, a lot of grinding) + Local VS + I haven’t experienced any problems with the performance or crashes + 158 characters…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is clearly a very lazy game, literally Storm 4 just wrapped up with a few new characters. The history mode also only features stills from the anime, some of which are actually ripped off. The worst UI in a Naruto game so far; this game is a complete scam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is absolute trash the gall to have this absolute piece of ♥♥♥♥ priced at 60$+ is absolutely preposterous #1 History mode is an amobmination most of the amazing fights from the first 9 seasons are cut out to favor naruto only, the only fight I actually was able to enjoy during the chunin exams was naruto vs neji because it was the ONLY chunin fight in the game #2 Online mode is ok I have no qualms at this point in time other than sweaty players and chuds #3 If you were to only buy this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this mainly because I wanted to relive the feeling I had playing Storm 3, Revolution and Storm 4 when I was younger. I really wanted a more modern Naruto Storm experience with the same kind of fun. Unfortunately, I ended up refunding it. The game just feels like the same thing as the older Storm games, but somehow worse. The animations can feel really wacky, the combat feels noticeably slower, and overall it just doesn't have the same impact or polish that the older games had. It's…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me be clear. I'm not giving this a thumbs down because the game itself is bad. I'm giving it a thumbs down because it's a 99% copy and paste from the previous game with a few extra characters and skins. The ultimate jutsu cinematics and team ultimates are bonkers and I wish all of the older ultimates got a polish and glow-up as well. As it stands, half of the special moves are 10/10 ZINEMA and the other half are pretty lame. The story mode is crap compared to the pseudo-movie style…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is cool but the problem is it barely does anything new The history and story have a lot of recap which is boring The two jutsu are cool but how they made it work (swap it with tilt) is pretty lazy The netcode is still not good. This game isn't worth full price that's why I waited to buy it on sale and now after playing I agree with what people were saying about it. The game isn't that crazy for a new game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →W game! I bought this on CDkeys and it was much cheaper! Insanely worth the price tbh! Upsides/Perks: - Amazing DLC - Beautiful Graphics - Can do nearly any fight in Naruto! - Never ending - Can Do really any fight with vs battles - Amazing Story - Diehard Fan? Buy this... Downsides: - A bit pricey - No one really does online :( - Ultimate is very pricey! Experience: The minute I began this I was amazed by the graphics looks so amazing for an anime game! I've played revolution before and…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(Ignore play time as I mainly played on other systems) Since this game was announced it has faced a LOT of criticism with a lot of it being valid, and the games original marketing really did it no favours either. But at the end of the day, if you're looking for a Storm game for the PVP then this is undoubtably the best game in the series. I was also shocked to see how fast I was finding matches on PC ranked even in 2026. Finding ranked matches in seconds. I have no idea why the game chose to…

neutral · AI labelView post →Dont play this in 2026, Imagine trying to play ranked and having your game crash on 60% of matches when you hit rematch. Then you get docked and a badge deeming you as a 'Disconnection hazard' Check my specs, NO WAY a game with this many updates cant even handle the rematch button. I've seen it on both sides too, I hit rematch start to load in and the opponent DC at the exact time, If its not you DCing it's them.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →worst game of the series. constant lag and then u get penalty when game inevitably crashes. really makes it hard to enjoy it. unbalanced and just toxic jutsu fest
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not Recommended This game had a lot of potential, but unfortunately it lost many positive features that existed in the previous title. Main problems: • Character selection regression In the previous game you could choose any character every time you found another player to play with. That freedom is gone, which makes the experience worse. • Constant crashes on Steam Deck The game randomly closes while playing on the Steam Deck. This is clearly a problem with the game itself, since I have no…

Graphics and animations are solid, but the story is a$$. Previous Storm games did better. Js like most review says, this game feels like a slideshow. Roster is big, but a lot of characters feel too similar to Storm 1–4 versions. They really should’ve added more new characters or at least more variation. DLC suck, it should be…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best overall combat in the series but with serious flaws. Game was rushed, lacks content, and is buggy. I cannot get an Xbox One controller to work under any circumstances. You're better off buying 4 for an overall experience, only buy connections if its on deep sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead game. 2/10 Good visuals, Big roster. But its literally dead. And the time i do match with someone its the same person. I think this game got a player base of 5 right now globally Unless you enjoy playing a game with free battle vs ai or watching your ranked timer go up to 10 minutes every time id recommend you stay away. Dont buy this not even on a 90% discount

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Storm Connections...I just finished 100% of the game and overall I enjoyed my time with it. The biggest strength is easily the roster. There are so many characters that you’re constantly switching teams and trying new combinations. It feels like you can bring always something new to combos and sinergy. Gameplay is still that classic Storm style, simple to pick up, very flashy, and focused on big cinematic moments. It’s not super deep competitively, but it’s fun and satisfying, especially…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As with every Naruto game, the character movesets and abilities are almost identical — there’s little originality beyond changes in graphics, text, or colors. A few new characters with some extra techniques were added, but that’s about it. This game stands out because the story mode is experienced entirely through Naruto. There’s no interaction with other characters who might have their own missions or story battles. It’s an interesting approach, as Naruto’s missions introduce fresh elements…

neutral · AI labelView post →Honestly, this game feels like Storm 4 with a big update, not a brand‑new title. The roster is huge, sure, but once you start playing, you realize a lot of characters are basically reskinned versions with the same moves. The story mode… yeah, the History Mode is super disappointing. So many iconic Naruto moments are shown as still images instead of proper cutscenes. Storm used to be famous for its epic cinematic moments, but here it feels like a downgrade. And the so‑called original story…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After a long wait, I finally own a Naruto game without having to buy the Storm 1-4 series. I actually beat those older games before, just not on Steam. Personally, I think this game is great, especially when it comes to combat. The combos feel smooth and very well balanced. The game uses damage scaling, meaning longer combos deal less damage per hit. On top of that, it features a brand new original story, a few new characters, and new combination jutsus you will not find in the older titles.…
