Naruto: Path of the Ninja
Why Naruto: Path of the Ninja remains one of the few tactical RPGs based on Naruto confounds the both of us, but we’re glad we got something with this gem of a series. A collection of turn-based games not unlike the OG Final Fantasy titles, Path of the Ninja follows the main storyline with a more exploration-focused bent, as Naruto and friends walk around the Leaf Village, encounter random battles with rival shinobi and enemy monsters, and go on missions to protect and maintain order. It wasn’t the best offering for fans of the series, but the Path of the Ninja series was novel in its approach to adapting the frenetic action of Naruto into a slower, more methodical turn-based formula. Kudos there.
