STORY: This game uses an original story based around the Naruto universe. It takes place in the nation of Kyouseikagure, the unified land of the Five Shinobi Nations. The Fourth Ninja War erupts, with three different sides. Team 1 consists of the residents of Leaf Village (which has become the capital of Kyouseikagure) and are fighting to potect the peace of their kingdom. Team 2 consists of ninja that live amongst the smaller villages, and are fighting because of the extreme class gap that has developed between those in the five greatest cities (the Five Ninja villages) and everyone else in the country. Team 3 consists of ninja from the future (basically, the shippuden characters) fighting both sides to prevent the war from bringing about the annihilation of the entire country.

CHARACTERS: Each team consists of 11 members, making a grand total of 33 playable characters. The full roster can be found here.

GAMEPLAY: This game is meant to play much like the hack n' slash series Dynasty Warriors. You run around on the map overworld, chasing down enemies. Then, in the battle mode, you singlehanded break through wave after wave of bad guys. What will start as a handful will end up as dozens before the game is over. You will fight them in a variety of locales, from the streets of the Leaf Village to the vast deserts of the Land of Wind. Your goal is to be the ultimate ninja, the one man army that changes the tide of war for your army.

To enter battles, you simply get near opponents and activate the battle key. If there are enemies within your range box (size differs for some characters), than all enemies and allies are drawn into battle. After defeating all opponents, you go back to the overworld and continue the level. If you are defeated, well... that's not something you want to happen. Allies and enemies can fight each other on the overworld. You must enter battle mode to fight.

A system new to the second demo allows you to give commands to your allies. You cannot control exactly what they do, but you can order them to charge and attack the nearest enemy, move to a location of your choice, or follow you. You use this by pressing W to bring up the command cursor, then dragging a box over the character you want.

MAP MAKER: I thought some people might find it fun to play around with the map maker we are using. With all of the tiles available, you can make lots of impressive things, both large and small. Feel free to PM me any cool maps and they might just end as extra mission maps. Just make sure that you save the map using Ctrl+S and NOT the Save button. Click here to download.

I added an explanation of how to do special moves. So, your thoughts?

[Itachifan]

This is game awesome! I know, I helped make it! Hahaha......anyway, it's sad that I only see a few DL's here. We do need to fix a few things however:

the health bar should be green.

Your teammate should be a different color from the enimes.

[Kilik 64]

The health bar will be a seperate color, and the teammates will be different colors from enemies.

[Itachifan]

I just noticed something.The title screen says "Naruto Empire". Shouldn't it say "Naruto Empires"?

[shattereddreams]

won't let me select anyone

[Kilik 64]

You couldn't select Kakashi, Sasuke, or TS Naruto? (the only three playable right now)

Oh that's proboly why then.... I'll try again....

EDIT: It works now. But, you might wanna change the style of how everything looks cuz it doesn't match the naruto universe.

How does it "not match"?

[Itachifan]

It matches fine.............what in the world are you talking about shatteredreams? They are from Ninja Council style games........

[Eklund8492]

Pretty good although i'm not a fan of naruto .
No offense, but aren't the 'Overworld' tiles and characters ripped from the game boy advance game "Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones" ?

Well anyway keep it up!

[Frigg]

I think he means that the overworld doesn't match, but everything else should. And yes they were from a Fire Emblem GBA game, not sure which one though.

[Kilik 64]

It's the overworld of a demo. It doesn't need to look anything like anthing from the series.

this is what I meant by that it didn't match.

[Kilik 64]

There is no Naruto game with the overworlds, so we haven't much other choice.

[Itachifan]

Exactly.if we could find someone who could rip us a tile set from one of the Naruto RPG games, then we could use that.......

[Kilik 64]

Even then, we'd still need lots of stuff made for the game. It's easier to just use all the stuff form FE6-8.

[Itachifan]

You think we should put up the next demo's expected release date?

[Kilik 64]

We don't have one.
