There are various opponents you can fight, each with their own traits, skills and weapons, and mastering them all will create an awesome battle field. The controls are simple but they do allow for some nice special effects, such as using the shadow to move during battles to create an advantage. This mixture of old and new gameplay means that Naruto Mugen will constantly challenge your patience.
Although the story isn't hugely unique, the characters are drawn with enough detail to have you playing with them for quite some time, which is important as you won't really want to get bored. The graphics are what you would expect from an old arcade classic, and as such there are numerous challenging levels to keep you interested. Naruto Mugen is an addictive 2D fighter game based around the same basics as other games such as Street Fighter, Ninja Storm and Double Dragon so should you enjoy any of them, it'll probably also appeal to you.
