Naruto RPG: Uketsugareshi Hi no Ishi

About

You play as Naruto in this single-player RPG set in the world of the anime. Turn based battles let you use jutsu and taijutsu while exploring key locations from the series. Build your party by recruiting familiar faces and customize abilities through leveling. The story follows Naruto's early years with quests that mirror the show's themes of friendship and perseverance. Simple controls and bite sized missions make it easy to pick up even if you're new to the franchise. Made by Tomy Corporation for Game Boy Advance, this 2004 release feels like a relic of the early 2000s anime boom. While the graphics show their age, the direct translation of source material appeal remains strong. A small but dedicated fanbase keeps it alive on retro forums. With a 7.8 average on GameRankings from 12 critics, it's a niche pick for players who want to relive the first chapter of the ninja saga in handheld form.
