hi, i am a new player and like the concept but the game is unplayable. im trying to learn the basics, but get matched with opponents with very high ranked characters and its not possible to keep track of all of the characters/skills/mechanics. how do other new players manage?

We don’t have that many players online in the game, we’re a small game, so it’s hard to balance the Ladder Queue without making someone wait sometimes up to a minute to find a match ://

One way we try to balance this is by making the starting characters stronger than the average strength of the other characters!


dwell on what life used to be
the pressure builds in my chest
when i breathe, heart palpitates
my castle caved, became a cage
this is my final resting place

thanks for the reply. i dont think the issue is that the starting characters are weak. its just hard to keep track of all of the characters that i see and the advanced ones have very strange effects

Ladder games should have a character lock. Example:

Chuunins can use all characters in the ladder, up to those that can be unlocked at that level. Get to Anbu, and you can also start using the characters unlocked there, so on and so on.

It would solve the issue of the ladder being the most unfriendly place for new players.

I can agree. Buuut, we have all gone through this at one point or another - remember, ladder up, do the same thing.
Game is tiny - can't rlly afford to do that if you think about it.

Honestly, the game wouldn't feel so bad if most missions didn't have the, "Wins in a Row (x/x)". Losing wouldn't feel as devastating, even with the OP characters in the game. Just change the requirements on missions so that newer players can also access these characters. If it means increasing the number of wins a bit, so be it.

Though I doubt this will actually matter nor be considered.

Okay late response but I gotta call BS on that. I came back after playing in the early 2000s so i have knowledge of the game. I came back today. Tell me HOW the hell am I supposed to beat people in rank as academy student who literally are Sannin or higher? Like literally? Look at my match history. I just surrender if they got characters that are way more modern. Just admit the game was redone for a small close knit group of friends of the guy who brought it back. Like literally a 19 year old is in charge of this game lol like of course its gonna be for their friends. Honestly should have never brought this game back. Just tarnishing the game legacy.

I do understand your distaste for the game, I'm of the same opinion. But well, what can you do?

I think this version of the game was made for the "Oh fuck!, I can't concentrate. I have to scroll through my tiktok, or I will go crazy. My dopamine levels are low." kind of player.

The best think you can do is just to stop playing, brother.

I did play in early days and returned jist more than year ago.
Had to unlock everything from scratch. Early character while not broken have great combos and strategies and after year i have all but 6 characters and Jinchuuriki rank.
small player base - is a valid problem, but your attitude seems like a much more prevalent factor

Do you know why the player base is small? BECAUSE EVERYONE IS LEAVING.
When the game launched, I think there were a lot more players on the first years. But that's just my opinion.

I 1000% agree with this.

Nothing really hard, was playing from 2008 till 2014. Got back today, got to anbu with starters and first page of chars with +4hs. With exp gains its just time
Chars changed a bit, but if you understood game before, its even easier now when you can check character skills ingame.
Sasuke, Naruto, Shino other starters are just way stronger than they used to just use good combos. Kiba shika temari easy
You win 600exp and lose like 50exp if they are high level. Try to get up like anbu and do missions, you can do few at onces. I got to sannin with zab, kyuubi, chiyo and just skipped jounin and got straight to sannin.
Just keep playing and stop asking for FF's.
