They’re easily the best things about Ninja Storm 4 -as they should be. The fights are fantastic, thanks to some huge spectacles and over-the-top special attacks.
This is probably where being a fan will help, because otherwise you’re just kind of waiting for the drawn out cutscenes to finish playing. Although that’s not really a complaint since starting over would be agonizing because more often than not, you’re fighting the main antagonist, over and over and over, ad nauseam. You’ll be revived on the spot with max health and a damage or defence boost of your choice while keeping your enemy at the same health if you die. The story mode isn’t going to run you very long and it pushes you back into the fight if you die, like it’s hurrying you to the next bit.
