Ultimate Ninja: 1VS1 Heroes Impact is a port of the fighting game Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes. Boasting visually appealing backgrounds, battles take place on a map with two planes: the foreground and the background. You and your opponent can teleport on either plane, throw shurikens or other projectiles, and pull off elegant mid-air combos—making one-on-one matches more stylish and high-octane.

While Ultimate Ninja: 1VS1 Heroes Impact doesn’t have a story, it makes up for its fun gameplay and multiple game modes. That aside, you can change the touchscreen button layout according to your preferences and comfort level.

Lots of modes

BershMind System’s Ultimate Ninja: 1VS1 Heroes Impact is a must-download if you’re a huge fan of the Naruto series. It consists of the following modes: Heroes mode, Vs cpu, Promotion test, Wireless mode, Naruto’s house, and Parameter power-up. Heroes mode is a gauntlet that lets you choose from several preset teams such as Team Kakashi or Team Guy, or even create your own to defeat AI-controlled opponents back-to-back.

As Heroes mode contains several stages depending on the difficulty, your characters will recover a certain amount of health and chakra to prepare you for the next encounter. Vs cpu, meanwhile, is where you select your favorite character as well as practice dishing out deadly combos and executing flashy jutsus on an AI-powered opponent. Through this mode, you’ll know if a character suits your preferred playstyle.

Parameter power-up is used for upgrading the stats of each of your characters—whereas Promotion test contains missions of increasing difficulty that enable you to climb up the ranks and become the Hokage. In addition, you can view your unlockables and edit your profile in Naruto’s house as well as fight other players in Wireless mode. Overall, it’s a straightforward game without the added bloat of less engaging features.

For Naruto fans

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes is a fighting title boasting gorgeous visuals and high-octane battles. It features several modes, with Heroes mode and Vs cpu centering on battles with AI opponents and Wireless mode being the game’s equivalent of a PVP mode. You won’t find a campaign mode here, sadly. Nevertheless, this title is pretty straightforward and doesn’t rely on bloat to deliver excellent gameplay and player satisfaction.
