As one of the long-running juggernauts of not just the shonen genre but all of anime itself, it's no wonder that Naruto has absolutely no shortage of video game titles out surrounding it. It's got unique character designs, fun and flashy moves and a long-running story that's typically fun to play through even if one's already been through the arc several times, though some do feature their own game-original stories as well.
Not as many titles were released in this decade than the 2000s, but keep in mind that near the latter half of the decade, games began shifting more towards live service. This is seen with Naruto To Boruto: Shinobi Strikers, as well as their mobile gacha titles, and many of the bigger titles began scoring lower than in the previous decade.
9 Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles For The Nintendo Wii (5.5)
Released in 2010, Dragon Blade Chronicles in the Naruto game series is unique in that it's a hack-and-slash with a loosely-focused plot in place of the fighting and RPG-style games fans are accustomed to. While trying new styles isn't a bad thing in itself, it received low review scores across the board, with some fan scores dipping into the three-out-of-ten range.
It's also criticized for re-using models from the Clash of Ninja series despite being a completely separate entry. There are also only two playable characters, Naruto and Sasuke, paling in comparison to the typical ten-to-twenty-plus character rosters fans have come to expect.
8 Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 For The Playstation 4/Xbox One (5.5)
Some of the Ultimate Ninja Storm titles are highly beloved by both critics and fans, but sadly, Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 doesn't quite compare. It was released in 2016, and while it adds a new feature of swapping one's leader and support characters, it's not enough to make up for the title's shortcomings. The combat itself is cited to be quite good, but for a fighting game that suffers from poor quality of online connectivity, its AI system doesn't offer enough to keep players engaged.
7 Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 For The Playstation Portable (6.5)
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 released in America in 2010 for the Playstation Portable. It's noted to be jam-packed with unlockables and a staggering forty-five character roster, but it's another entry that doesn't manage to impress in the gameplay department. It leaves fans feeling limited compared to many other entries already out at the time, and is noted to lack the true fun feeling of a Naruto game.
6 Naruto Shippuden: Kizuna Drive For The Playstation Portable (7)
Kizuna Drive is the fourth installment of the Uzumaki Chronicles line of games and was released in July of 2010. It features a new system of being able to fight alongside three AI-controlled allies rather than just being a one-on-one.
There are various challenges for players to complete, and graphics have been drastically improved from previous entries in the Chronicles series. The game boasts its own original story and it sits at a respectable 7/10.
5 Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact For The Playstation Portable (7)
Ultimate Ninja Impact is the final entry for the series released on the Playstation Portable in 2011, which was beginning to get phased out at the time. It has a decently long story mode, spanning all the way from the Kazekage Rescue Mission arc to the Five Kage Summit, with a similar gameplay style to the Dynasty Warriors series.
There are twenty-three playable characters total, though eight of those are comprised of various forms for Naruto and Sasuke. It boasts over one-hundred unique battles and three-hundred character cards to collect while playing, so it doesn't suffer from any shortage of content.
4 Naruto SD Powerful Shippuden For The Nintendo 3DS (8)
Powerful Shippuden is a side-scrolling action-adventure game based off of the Rock Lee Ninja Chronicles anime spin-off. It's one of two games for the entire franchise to ever release for the Nintendo 3DS, and it was received quite well.
Naruto and Rock Lee are the only playable characters, but each have their own unique storylines to go through, and the combat is flashy and fun. Its storyline is surprisingly long as well, covering fights all the way up to the Five Kage Summit arc.
3 Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 For The Playstation 3/Xbox 360 (8)
Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, the sequel to the original Ultimate Ninja Storm, was released for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in late 2012. It was well-received to the point where it was later re-released not once, but twice, first for the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, and one final time for the Switch.
The character roster is packed with a whopping forty-two available choices, and players are given a choice of twenty-three different stages to play on as well. The game also features a free-roaming system that allows players to explore Konohagakure as well as Amegakure and Sunagakure.
2 Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations For The Playstation 3 And Xbox 360 (8.5)
Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations is one of the highest-rated Naruto games of all time, and was released in both Japan and America in early 2012. Its story mode is incredibly long, covering everything from the series' prologue all the way to the Five Kage Summit arc, even including cutscenes from the countdown to the war.
It carries over staple elements from previous entries while smoothing out certain things for smoother gameplay, as well as adding a multitude of new features. It also features many anime-based cutscenes during its story mode developed by Studio Pierrot, done so well that it later became available as a sixty-minute OVA.
1 Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 For The Playstation 3 And Xbox 360 (8.6)
Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 originally released for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in March of 2013 to critically-acclaimed success. It received enhanced re-releases twice, first for the PC and later bundled with an enhanced edition of the entire Ultimate Ninja Storm series.
Alongside the typical character awakening modes that fans have grown used to, this entry features the ability to enter awakening mode at any time, including the very start of a battle in return for a nerf to their chakra pool. The war was still ongoing in the story when it released, meaning the game also features its own non-canon story ending.
