One of the best Byond 2d side scrollers I used to play, I say used to because my main pc died and my current keyboard doesn't allow me to play. Anyway back to the review.

Graphics :

As far as byond games of this type go, not the best but are very well done none the less.

Gameplay :

This is where the game truely excels. This game has the best gameplay mechanic's I've seen on byond. It's melee system is simply beautiful. If you've played other games of this genre don't expect this tobe the same. The melee in cosabs allows you to hit, stun, knockback, and even knock up enemys. Only the good players learn how to fully use this, and that's just the melee system. The abilitys of charaters from Naruto just like in the show vary greatly. Some are more suited to melee others for shoot, healing , traping ect.. And for the most part are done correctly. Gameplay balanceing has its issues, but it being first and foremost a game has to.

Sound :

Background music.... check

Charater action abilitys.... check

It's sound I'd have to say is average, better than other games with simlar charaters in it, but still average. Other games of this genra only have the background music where in this one you actally hear the hits or charaters preforming jutsu. I'd love to some voice overs, but hey its byond what do you expect.

Pro's

More charater's used than any other 2d fighting game
Solid gameplay mechanics
Solid sound
Loyal playerbass, though not exactly what i'd call friendly
Charater's feel realistic, for the most part.
Very actively updated.

Con's

Some charater's are not as they should be. They have the icon they have the move set yet, some are slower than you would expect, or for an example Gaara isnt protected by sand from "normal" melee. Though most of these issues are caused in an attempt to balance the charater.

P2W aspect Some of the "Locked" Charaters are simply too Op to fight with. Not that they can't be countered with a normal charater, just that the counter for them are limited. Also some abilitys normal charaters have are "locked" thus are less powerful than if you unlocked them by opening your wallet.

Balanceing, not every charater has a chance 1v1 with another 1. It's a game so This is a major con. Disadvantage would be fine, but no chance simply shouldn't be done, example would be Kankoro vrs Oro, or kurenai vrs Itachi.
Overpowered charaters, mostly in the cash shop

Bugs, glitches happen very often, though rarely game breaking anymore.

Verbaly abusive player base, but hey its naruto what do u expect power puff girls

No ability to remap your keys, well I think they just may have finally added away to remap charater abilitys, but as far as changing your movement to wasd your sol.

Overall rating :

7/10 Would rank it higher if some of the balancing issue's were fixed. And an abiity to change the buttons was coded in.
