Hashirama, Madara clash in lengthy Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 gameplay video

Here’s 12 minutes of gameplay footage from Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, focusing on an epic battle between First Hokage Hashirama Senju and Uchiha clan leader Madara Uchiha.

The clash initially sees the fighters unleashing some interesting combos and jutsus, such as Shuriken Shadow Clone and Wood Dragon, picking up weapons on the battlefield and using them against the opponent, attacking and counter-attacking with sporadic quick time events (QTEs) making for some fast-paced fluid action. What’s interesting is that one can see the two combatants summoned colossal creatures battle it out as well in the background, and soon the stage shifts to players controlling gigantic forms – Wood Golem v/s Nine Tails – unleashing devastation on the surrounding landscape.

CyberConnect2’s third-person action game arrives later this year on the PC, Xbox One and PS4.
