Players can switch between their main character and two support characters in the middle of a combo, allowing for complex and creative attack patterns.

The game covers a vast timeline of the Naruto universe, allowing players to experience the most pivotal moments of the series:

When health is low, characters can enter "Awakened" states (like Naruto’s Kurama Mode) for increased power. Filling the Storm Gauge allows for "Linked Secret Techniques," where the entire team performs a devastating combined attack.
