Gameplay

The game starts from Kazekage Rescue Mission and goes all the way up to the Five Kage Summit. The gameplay itself is very similar to Dynasty Warriors. Cards can be used to increase characters' stats, provide special effects during battle, change certain characters' movesets, Secret Techniques & Awakenings and clear obstacles on Ultimate Road map. Every playable character can equip upto 4 cards before starting a mission. When equiping certain cards together, a Team effect can be activated, further increasing stats and providing more effect in battle.
