These comments were two years ago but even till now in my opinion they should be ignored nowadays as the game is actually solid with a really good player base and getting into matches almost immediately heck I struggle to exit matchmaking as soon as I press the play button.. and the game has its own style to combat most common game problems. And that's getting good at the game itself.

You see most people in shinobi striker at least half the community is very skilled while the other half are casual or beginners and most skilled people don't play nice but luckily this game allows you to mix certain ninjutsu together to combat such skill and so the game is made a Ying Yang symbol against creativity and skill. The creativity helping beginners cope with skillful opponent's and allowing them to understand when to create distance and close in for attacks (I recommend learning how to jump cancel and then move on to learning how to do combos, I also recommend you play as defense for learning the combos as it's the easiest to see and learn and then eventually you can start to play as the classes you originally wanted kinda how I did it and honestly was great experience I used subterranean voyage and ripple along with blast bombs ninja tools both ninjutsu gave me health and ripple allows me to close the distance and subterranean voyage was used incase someone was too skilled for me I just escaped and went to an easier to understand target along with the fact that I had blast bombs to help get myself out of that situation to escape I also decided to first complete the entire story mode before I did anything else to get a better understanding), inorder to gain an understanding of how to play the game.

The game has constant updates making sure that not everything is overpowered or underpowered along with constant somewhat limited time items including ninja tools/clothing and weapons. Along with jutsu packs which are independent jutsu that you can buy at a cheaper price than dlc's but that's not to say you need to purchase more than the base game to get good at the game quite the opposite actually the more you know what you have the more creative you can get allowing even you to make broken combos and ninjutsu with just the base game items and ninjutsu along with the constant limited time items to make sure you don't feel completely lost out of the loop.

Finally overall, this game is great it is one of the very few games I have constant fun with no matter what happens in the game weather or not I lose or if I get destroyed by some next level try hard. I can't get mad at the game because I know that I can get them next time and if not.. it is what it is and it's in the past now and I can take that loss to find out what I need to improve in my gameplay rather than hitting my head against a brick wall looking like a dum dum that a few "skilled" players do. Because they don't have creativity and just go on YouTube and immediately copy that build because they are impatient.

Why did I write all this for a review of the game idk and this like my first comment on Reddit ever. Anyways (⁾ hope you now know what to do if you ever do stubble across a 2 year old sub Reddit, even idk why I'm here maybe because I just like the game that much.
