This action game is based on the popular anime series "NARUTO Shippuden." Playable solo or with four players, this title is based on a four-man cell action game format, allowing players to form their own squad and take on a wide variety of free missions. Over 60 free missions are available, ranging from defending a defense line to searching for bandits. There are 17 single-player story missions, each featuring an original scenario written specifically for the game. The battle system not only uses combo attacks, but also "Kizuna Linkage," which allows four teammates to work together to defeat enemies. After a linkage has begun, players can work together with three other teammates to press buttons at the right time to knock down enemies that have been blown away, allowing them to continue the linkage or land a finishing attack.
