Narutolike

Introduction

Narutolike is a free fan-made strategy roguelike from developer empiglet that drops you into the world of Naruto for short, punchy runs. You begin by choosing a ninja, then work across a branching map where battles, events, shops, rest stops and recruitment scrolls all compete for your attention. Every arc ends with a mini-boss and a final boss, so a bigger fight is always waiting further along the road. The fighting is handled by your team: ninja attack and use their signature jutsu on their own, while you decide the order they step up, the items they carry and who fills the three slots. Chakra natures add a layer of planning, since fire, wind, lightning, earth and water each beat one nature and lose to another, and bringing the right ninja to the right boss matters. Team bonds pay off too, as ninja who belong together unlock their own rule when they fight side by side, and levelling during a run opens transformations such as Sage Mode, the Sharingan and the Eight Gates. Beyond the main path there is plenty to chase. Two campaigns, The Ninja Road and The Shinobi War, sit alongside an endless Battle Tower-style Ninja Tournament with weekly and all-time rankings and ghost teams from other players. Scrolls earned each run summon new ninja, outfits and items, while daily challenges, ascension levels, optional challenges, missions and a Bingo Book give you smaller goals. Runs take roughly 5 to 15 minutes, progress saves in your browser and can be exported from Settings, and a Feedback button in the menu sends bugs and ideas straight to the developer.
