The latest in a long line of successful mobile games based on famous anime properties, Ninja Voltage is set (perhaps obviously) in the world of Naruto and puts you in charge of your own village. There's a bit of city building, or at least building and fighting, as you build and upgrade some things and gather resources, but the game focuses on defending your village's fortress and gathering a team of ninjas to fight and defeat enemies, other fortress traps and defenses.
To play the game, you must form groups of up to four characters to complete missions and compete for territory with other online players. Each character has special abilities that you can unleash on the battlefield in a semi-automatic game; trying to attack your opponents and defend them. To attack other players, you must first get past their defenses. You can also set various traps and fortifications in your village to prevent other players from conquering it, as the game is strongly based on online competition. As you complete missions and fight against other villages, you will upgrade your character and items to defend better or get other improvements and items for your village faster.
You can control one Naruto character with up to three others supporting you. The controls are a standard thumbstick and button combination, with a virtual joystick on the left side of the screen that allows you to run around, and attack and skill buttons located on the right. The game begins with you playing as the teenage Naruto, supported by Captain Yamato and Sakura, as you search for Orochimaru and Sasuke in the dungeon. Without delving into the dramatic areas, you will learn how to control the character, walk around and attack. The action isn't terribly precise, but it's frantic and mostly satisfying.
One of the main attractions of Naruto X Boruto Ninja Voltage is the number of characters you can unlock and how easy it is to unlock them. Within an hour or two, you can unlock characters like Boruto, Hinata, Sasuke, Leroy Locke, Sarutobi Asma, and Flagstaff Kakashi. The game does this through very easily accessible hero pieces. Instead, the rarer resources are actually ninja cards, which can be assigned to any character, but work best for the character depicted on the card. Without the right ninja card, your character won't be able to use all of their jutsu, which manifests as your special attacks or abilities.
Also, fans of the franchise are unlikely to be disappointed when it comes to graphics. Combat animations are smooth and even better than some games on handheld consoles. At the same time, the art and static graphics are pleasing to the eye. Best of all, the actors are voiced: whenever a character releases a skill, he or she speaks the name of that skill in Japanese. Overall, if you're a fan of Naruto and Boruto, then Ninja Voltage is definitely a game you need to master. Even though it has many problems and some parts are very confusing, it offers an enjoyable and dynamic experience that will make you want to stay!
