Most are either capable of flight or are so big that their weak spots are rarely reachable. The bosses are not overly difficult, but they are extremely frustrating. It’s in your best interest to run past most of them anyway, especially since there are no experience points and items of any value are contained in chests.
No amount of ninjitsu can hide the fact that the same three enemies are recycled over and over, unless red and blue colorations count as major differences. What impressed me most was how responsive and necessary evasive maneuvers were, which adds a kick to the otherwise simplistic combat. In other words, it’s an excuse to start Naruto from scratch and work his way up, but it works. Koryu has the nasty ability to deplete everyone’s chakra. Melee combat is a one-button affair, while ninjitsu attacks can only be performed after finding the appropriate scrolls. Koryu, Dragon Blade Chronicles proves to have a responsive combat system. Once Akari has finished sucking the joy out of the universe and you enter Mt. Then there is the newcomer, Akari, who should win an award for the most depressing character of the year. Meanwhile, the generic hard rock soundtrack keeps blasting away as if there is something to be excited about. Two-five second pauses between short sentences are the norm, thus eradicating any hope of emotional impact. Most of the English voice-actors return, minus a few minor characters, but the cutscenes are intolerably dull. This is the best introduction the developers can think of? With no logical reasoning or fanfare, your first mission is… moving boxes! Naruto can run across water, create shadow clones, and has a mythical beast living inside him. Without so much as an introduction, you are thrust into Naruto’s shoes on the training field, in mid-conversation with Kakashi sensei. Koryu, unaware that Sasuke and the Akatsuki are being drawn to the same location.ĭragon Blade Chronicles has the makings of an exciting hack-and-slash adventure, but fails to make a first impression that is remotely interesting. Naruto and company agree to help Akari stop her brother at Mt. While Akari tries to live her life, her brother seeks revenge, and so he sets about unleashing the five Genryu (elemental dragons) in hopes of absorbing their powers and destroying the world. That doesn’t mean you’ll want to experience it though.Īkari and her brother (new characters) were shunned by society for the horns on their heads. It is set during Sasuke’s search for Itachi, but the story is completely fresh. Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles is different. After a while, playing through the same story with a few gameplay tweaks gets old.
I have played a lot of Naruto games, but I have also purposely skipped a few.
