As you play through the game's story mode, you can unlock new cards by completing special challenges, which is good if you want to extend the experience. The game also incorporates an RPG-like card system that allows you to outfit specific characters certain power-ups and special moves.
Though the repetition in the game is a big problem, the battle system is one area where I didn't mind a little déjà vu.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as I do enjoy the format of the Ultimate Ninja battle system, and there have been a few tweaks and new moves added to the overall roster. If you strip the game of its lackluster story content, you're left with a pretty generic brawler the battle system is the same thing that has been featured in essentially every Ultimate Ninja game. It's also extremely short, so if you're hoping to get anything more than an afternoon's worth of entertainment, you'll be disappointed. The game just barely hits the highlights and is anything but exciting. If you haven't played another Naruto Shippuden game, read the manga, or watched the anime, don't expect to be spoon-fed the story. I think somewhere in the development process, someone realized this the story just kind of trails off halfway through, and the game expects you to fill in most of the blanks yourself. What ensues is the plot of every other Naruto Shippuden game on the market. The format of the game is fairly boring, and doesn't really do much to draw the player in, especially as the game starts up exactly where every other Shippuden game starts up: when Naruto returns to Konoha. These points can be special items, dialogue scenes, or actual battles. Instead of giving you a semi-open world to explore, you get a static map with different points to select. The game only has one main mode: the story mode. And the unfortunate fact is that Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact feels like a stripped-down version of games that already exist. I'm all for tons of games being released for a single popular property, but they all have to be just a little bit different. Dragon Ball Z fans have suffered through the same content over and over for nearly twenty years, and it looks like Naruto is starting to have the same issue. On the other hand, you've got to suffer through a lot of repeated content. On the one hand, it's great to see characters from your favorite franchises evolve and grow over time. Being a so-called "franchise player" can have some serious drawbacks.
