After taking an actual test about the history of the Naruto world, you’ll end up scouring the beautiful Hidden Leaf Village for a load of flags alongside Boruto’s team, Sarada and Mitsuki.

The other main quests – non-battle related – are a bit strange, but occur simply due to Boruto participating in the Chunin Exams. One battle really took it to another level by merging the Tailed Beasts of Sasuke and Naruto together against the evil Momoshiki, however, the moveset was so limited it became a boring slog of a conflict which is a real shame considering how cool it looked initially. During the boss fights, there are QTEs requiring your input and these work as a way to keep the player engaged while everything unfolds. There are just over ten story-related battles and although mostly entertaining, it’s slightly marred as the difficulty fluctuates an awful lot I actually struggled more with the earlier fights for some reason, even just trying to get close enough to strike an enemy. Story battles come in various forms, ranging from regular 1vs1 to team affairs and epic boss fights.

I felt emotionally invested in Boruto’s life from start to finish. Despite the story being trimmed, all the key moments are featured and the tale is told well. As far as cutscenes are concerned, they are visually brilliant with English voiceovers to ensure you know what’s happening. Boruto’s Tale is the story mode, and the main meat of it consists of cutscenes using the in-game models to depict the goings on from the film and various battles being recreated to get involved in.
