Being able to play a direct role in some of the series' best battles makes for a great time that fans can't get enough of. Along with this, some games focus on original storylines that are pretty decent in their own right too. Of course, any title can fall flat if the gameplay systems aren't all that engaging. These Naruto games with amazing combat will keep players coming back for more.

5 Naruto: Path Of The Ninja

A Turn-Based Combat System That Encourages Strategy And Tactics

When people think of Naruto games, they assume that these titles will be full of fast-paced real-time action and powerful jutsu that will shatter their screens with the many particle effects on display. So, the fact that Path of the Ninja opted for a turn-based battle system similar to what's seen in most JRPGs may not sit right with fans. However, players who give this title a chance will be more than pleased by what's on offer here.

Naruto's battles involve a fair bit of strategy too, and this is precisely what Path of the Ninja nails with its turn-based combat that forces players to use a veritable suite of tactics against the wealth of opponents that stand in their way. Players can use everything from powerful jutsu to useful support skills to bolster their chances of winning battles against tough bosses, with the combat system bringing enough fresh ideas to the table to keep things engaging in the long run.

4 Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact

A Dynasty Warriors-esque Combat System That's Pretty Cathartic

The Ultimate Ninja series is the first thing that comes to mind when people talk about the Naruto games with the best combat. From the very first game in the series, CyberConnect2 made it a point to make the combat as frenetic and action-packed as possible. This stretched to the PSP too, with the series launching a game on this platform that is arguably the best Naruto game on a handheld console to date.

Shades of Dynasty Warriors can be seen in this combat system, with players loving the idea of tackling multiple enemies at once with many powerful jutsu that can dominate foes in no time. It's easy to see where the third Ultimate Ninja Storm game got this idea from, with Ultimate Ninja Impact making the most of the PSP's limitations and letting players enjoy an excellent combat system that made solo, team, and 1v100 battles riveting in their own way.

3 Naruto: The Broken Bond

A Simple, Engaging Combat System That's Easy To Get Into

It's easy to see why the majority of Naruto titles structure themselves as fighting games, letting players mess around with many unique moves to take out opponents that stand in their way. Naruto: The Broken Bond is no exception here, building upon the systems set in place by Rise of a Ninja, introducing a tag team system to make battles more dynamic and exciting than ever before.

The battle system can seem simple at times, but this is a net positive given how it lets new players jump into the action and pull off cool techniques and jutsu in no time. Of course, it's not like the game is so beginner-friendly, given that there's enough complexity for players to master numerous moves and beat down their opponents in no time. Still, there's an argument to be made that the combat does get somewhat repetitive after a point, but players will be done with the story mode and have several battles otherwise notched in their belt before they reach this stage.

2 Naruto Shippuden: Clash Of Ninja Revolution 3

An Underrated Title With Excellent Combat Mechanics And A Surprising Variety Of Moves

It's a shame that people don't talk about the Clash of Ninja series all that often, with many people feeling like the quality of the Ultimate Ninja Storm series stole a lot of their thunder. Still, many players love the combat mechanics of the games in this series, with the 1v1 fighting action being a blast to engage with. Featuring a suite of changes to make combat fairer and more exciting than ever before, it's easy to see why Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 is such a fun game to play.

Players can utilize unique throws to punish defensive players, use the Body Flicker Technique to get out of harm's way instead of having to absorb damage for a lengthy period and use a plethora of flashy special techniques to overpower their opposition in no time. While getting a Wii to play this game can be a chore now, players can make the effort to check out what many people consider to be the best title in the Clash of Ninja series.

1 Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4

The Best Game In The Series From A Gameplay Perspective With Silky-Smooth Fighting Mechanics

While Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 may have the best story mode and great combat sequences where players fight multiple enemies using their favorite characters, the fighting mechanics present in the main battles of the series are refined to a T in Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. With amazing Ultimates, robust combos, an excellent substitution mechanic, and a ridiculously massive roster of characters to experiment with, it's easy to see why so many people loved what Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 brought to the table.

The bar for the series' gameplay was set so high that most people were immensely dissatisfied by the simplified combat mechanics of Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, which felt like a step down in many ways. Even now, people still invest some hours in Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 as they master the playstyle for every character and utilize a wealth of cinematic and powerful techniques to overpower their opposition without mercy.
