STORY: This game uses an original story based around the Naruto universe. It takes place in the nation of Kyouseikagure, the unified land of the Five Shinobi Nations. The Fourth Ninja War erupts, with three different sides. Team 1 consists of the residents of Leaf Village (which has become the capital of Kyouseikagure) and are fighting to potect the peace of their kingdom. Team 2 consists of ninja that live amongst the smaller villages, and are fighting because of the extreme class gap that has developed between those in the five greatest cities (the Five Ninja villages) and everyone else in the country. Team 3 consists of ninja from the future (basically, the shippuden characters) fighting both sides to prevent the war from bringing about the annihilation of the entire country.

CHARACTERS: Each team consists of 11 members, making a grand total of 33 playable characters. The full roster can be found here.

GAMEPLAY: This game is meant to play much like the hack n' slash series Dynasty Warriors. You run around on the map overworld, chasing down enemies. Then, in the battle mode, you singlehanded break through wave after wave of bad guys. What will start as a handful will end up as dozens before the game is over. You will fight them in a variety of locales, from the streets of the Leaf Village to the vast deserts of the Land of Wind. Your goal is to be the ultimate ninja, the one man army that changes the tide of war for your army.

To enter battles, you simply get near opponents and activate the battle key. If there are enemies within your range box (size differs for some characters), than all enemies and allies are drawn into battle. After defeating all opponents, you go back to the overworld and continue the level. If you are defeated, well... that's not something you want to happen. Allies and enemies can fight each other on the overworld. You must enter battle mode to fight.

A system new to the second demo allows you to give commands to your allies. You cannot control exactly what they do, but you can order them to charge and attack the nearest enemy, move to a location of your choice, or follow you. You use this by pressing W to bring up the command cursor, then dragging a box over the character you want.

MAP MAKER: I thought some people might find it fun to play around with the map maker we are using. With all of the tiles available, you can make lots of impressive things, both large and small. Feel free to PM me any cool maps and they might just end as extra mission maps. Just make sure that you save the map using Ctrl+S and NOT the Save button. Click here to download.

Nice nice nice. Can i maybe try it ?

NİCE GAME

don't post in capps

great games !!

Kilik: its a new version?cuz i played some beta version of this b4....

No, it's the same. I just didn't see a post of the topic here, so I made one.

Demo 2 is coming along nicely. Just need one more character, finished menus, first stage for each team, and the first level for each team.

sounds great, cant wait to try it out.

I'm pretty sure this is a month old topic, but since i'm not 100% sure, I won't report you yet.

I was about to bump this anyways. The next demo will also feature a new game engine, so it will have smoother combat.

SOunds good...whens it gonna be realeased

hey I'm not sure how it works. I press to battle nearby enemy, the new screen apears and then it goes back to the town again and I can't fight. What's wrong?

You're probably trying to battle an ally. The guy that pops up right next to you is your teammate.

ohhh ok then I'll try to find the enemy

It's the other two guys standing next to each other on the other side of the field.

Hmm, the ilnk to download the demo won't work for me, anyone else having this problem?

EDIT: hmm, by stopping it while loading and removing a random %22 and end of the url got it to work. Bloody automatic redirection...weird. Oh well, late now so guess I'll give this a shot tomorrow.

I just tried it and had no problems.

BTW, heres a bug. Sometime chakra effects stay after you charge (You know already i think) and If you only battle one of the 2 guys and defeat him, when you fight the 2nd guy, your teamate won't help.

Ya, that's been fixed. Thanks for telling me, though.

the download link is broken

I JUST tried it. It works fine.

really dont work, it is only on media fire? it say a message : Invalid File. This error has been forwarded to MediaFire's development team.

German is right the download link doesn´t work... :|

Can someone post a download link?
