Very very weird, the two games I saw from launching the same app were not even close to the same game, not even sure how something like that happens. Definitely dont spend money if there is a potential for all your prog to get deleted, i must have gotten lucky. ### 4/5 — Game modes *2023-11-21* This game is quite decent but it is extremely annoying how the game keeps switching between different games modes. There should be an option in the game to switch between the two. Please add this. ### 4/5 — Great, but excited for more *2023-11-13* I'm having a great time. I think the system is really innovative. It's only gonna get better from here but I would love to see more dialogue and content with the story ### 4/5 — Amazing game *2023-11-07* This game is truly fun I thought I would be a cash grab but if your used to playing leveling system games it’s quite easy to understand just take your time and read ### 5/5 — Not bad *2023-11-06* The game can feel robotic if you auto threw everything, and will try to get $ at every turn ### 5/5 — Solid game *2023-11-06* Its a solid game where if you spend the money you increase your odds for better characters but honestly isn't needed. ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-11-05* It’s simple and easy to enjoy and with the concept of decent team building too it adds more than just getting the best characters in the game. ### 5/5 — Best game I’ve ever played *2023-11-04* This game is so fun and you don’t even have to do a lot you only have to press a few buttons and you will be great at the game ### 5/5 — Review *2023-11-04* Fun game to pass time I like everything have is purpose to make the game better and plus who doesn’t like Naruto ### 5/5 — Great! *2023-11-04* This is a great game! It really helps for when you’re bored or waiting for awhile. It’s also just a really fun game for Naruto fans. I like the game a lot myself, viewers should give it a try. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2023-11-04* It it a super fun game when I’m bored I just start playing and immediately I’m hooked and no longer bored ### 5/5 — Great idle Naruto game *2023-11-03* Just not a variety of characters yet but the game has potential, wish they would she the status elements or have a guide type of thing but other than that the game is solid! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pay to REALLY play. Inconsistent updates. *2024-03-11* it becomes obvious after a short while that to go far at this game you have to spend a ton of money. The updates are inconsistent and only add more and more powerful characters that you’ll have to pay to get and level up. They apparently lost the rights to Naruto characters months ago. So be careful about spending money on this game. Totally not worth investing in. ### 1/5 — Not a Naruto game? *2023-12-20* Was a Naruto game played for 2 weeks then it updated into another completely different game. Whatever you don’t do spend your money on this game it’s just a fishing hole for phone gamers. Once your invested the just change the whole thing you lose all your data. Apple should really try to police games like this in there store they are just abusing it ### 1/5 — Game completely changed overnight *2023-11-28* Not sure what happened within the past 12 hours but there was an update to the game, I update, go to sleep, wake up and boom, completely different game. Lost all the purchases I had, lost all my mythic ninjas, reduced down to level 1, even though I have the same account and everything. Doesn’t make sense. Like they reset the game and just released a brand new (crappier) version and didn’t reimburse you for the purchases or anything. Hopefully this is just some bug or something but I can’t find patch notes to see what all was changed, but regardless, they just release a $99 bundle for a ninja just to do this a few days later, kinda seems like a scam or something going on. ### 1/5 — Two different game *2023-11-27* When I first download this game, the game play and content looks cool but next day after I reopen the game, the graphic user interface become completely different. No sure if different region has different vision but I tried to change back through changing the language but can never the my original version back. This is very frustrating ### 1/5 — This game is used to scam people *2023-11-03* Hello i don’t usually write reviews on apps but this is a WARNING for people who is planning to play the game, the developer and owner of this game is scamming people, they offer offline top up using Facebook, and they will show you appealing offers which costs from $300-$600 they after you chose your package offer they will ask you to send the money through Paypal and will ask you to use the Family and Friends option so once they received the money you wont be able to make a dispute to get back your money, i am one of their victims and i got proof and screen shots on how they had me, they wasted my time and money telling me there was an error on their system and they are trying to fix it, after a lot of stalling they will eventually not reply back anymore, its just a shame that they steal from other people and use that money to feed their families or for their personal game, KARMA will handle them at the end. ### 1/5 — There isn’t beginners luck *2023-10-28* Why no beginners luck ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️ ### 1/5 — Is this a re release of similar game *2023-10-27* This game is not original at all. I played this game like 3 months ago under different name. Why the re-release ? Or why changing the name ### 2/5 — Game changes randomly *2023-12-06* For some reason. After about a week. The game randomly changes on you to a COMPLETELY different game. Starts you at level 1. And there’s no way to get out of it, not switching account. Not delete and reinstall. I recall the “beta” of this game about a year ago did that as well. And that turned into a COMPLETELY different 3rd game as to what this one does even. Why does it do this? This is single-handedly why I don’t invest money in the game. ### 2/5 — Money Grabber *2023-11-25* I wrote a review a bit back praising this game. However, the more I got into it the more pay to win became visible. Yes, you can play and not pay for anything and still get by, but they add characters who aren’t even in the Naruto show or at least yet and charge $100 for the character. They should instead add more Naruto characters to their roster that we don’t have like Madara Uchiha but instead they add characters they want you to buy that you don’t know. The more and more I play the more I realize they are invested in making money off of you rather than helping make a well rounded game. It has some real potential but the company needs to change their way of going about things. ### 2/5 — Need money to level. *2023-11-03* It’s a fun game but you can’t gain eco unless you do story mode and use real money. It’s stupid because you need to level up your character to complete the story modes. And if your character isn’t high enough then you can’t do your story mode unless you use money?! It’s a real let down how the there taking advantage of the Naruto community after all the love and support we giving you throughout the years. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hurry Up, Download and play this game *2023-12-20* My massive issue with this game is that it comes by many titles. I downloaded as Naruto: Shippuden Ninja Legend. And I absolutely loved the game. Played it each and every day it was that good. When I switched phones it was deleted from the App Store and I couldn’t play it. Finally they reintroduced the game as a different name. Once downloaded all my existing progress was there. Which was an amazing surprise. You have the option, it’s a game with zero ads and you can level up for free. If you want to be the best you’ll have to pay. But to just level up and play the story mode, that can be done for free. If I could make a single recommendation in my life… if you love Naruto, and you love strategy games.. download this one. You will not find a better idle game that makes you think. ### 5/5 — Great *2023-11-14* Only played for a little bit, but this game is so much fun. No need to spend money as you can progress without spending and the graphics are fantastic. All naruto fans should give it a try. ### 5/5 — It will keep you entertained *2023-11-14* Nothing new from previous games, although you can have some fun while you play ### 5/5 — Addicting *2023-11-13* Just tried it , it wasn’t advertised on what it would look like on instagram but it is still so fun I always look forward to getting new characters and leveling up ! ### 5/5 — More characters *2023-11-12* Love the game not too difficult but not too easy. I want more characters, a little surprised they don’t have the ninja that were considered “gods” in the anime hoping they add more characters later but overall great game! ### 5/5 — Amazing and can’t wait for more! *2023-11-10* This game is so much fun and as a Naruto fan I am in love! This is a new game so don’t expect everything to be perfect but starting out it’s doing great. I can’t wait to see this game get updated over time. ### 5/5 — It’s pretty good *2023-11-10* I’m a real person I love it a lot it’s fun it isn’t like the ads still good though i play it all the time and all of the haters out there it is a pretty good game it’s not bad at all ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2023-11-09* Bro I can’t tell you how much fun I’ve Had with this game but it did kinda give me a down rate when it wasn’t the As in the add but other than that 10/10 ### 5/5 — I can’t believe this is a game🥳🤩 *2023-11-08* I thought I would get this game for a monthly subscription to play but no it’s FREE🤩🤩i play this game every day for the FREE Rewards and the price of the optional buying options for a low price and you can play with friends ### 5/5 — Really fun game *2023-11-08* Addictive game easy level ups. Doesn’t see money driven like most games. Has a lot of different modes definitely recommend trying this game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
