The best Naruto games to play as Sasuke

Since his introduction as a great ninja, Sasuke has become “the one to beat” even in his genin days, so it's no surprise that he grew into one of the world's most dangerous shinobi after defecting from Konoha. IN Naruto game, this gave Sasuke a keen “flair” that no other character possessed: fast swordsmanship, powerful electric and fire attacks, and special modes that rewarded his aggression with even deadlier variations of his signature Fireball Jutsu, Kirin, and the ever-popular Chidori.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact

Enjoy Musou Mechanics with different Sasuke versions

The final Naruto games for psp, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact goes out with a bang and gives players the ability to destroy a huge number of enemies similar to musou games (Dynasty Warriorsetc.). In addition to having a traditional set of Jutsus, Awakening Modes, and Ultimates, the game also allows players to customize character loadouts through cards that increase specific attributes. Ultimate Ninja Impact itself takes place between the Kazekage Rescue Mission until the Five Kage Summit, meaning players can see Sasuke's evolution within Orochimaru's Hebi, build his Taka team, and battle Itachi as the finale to his revenge.

This game features three separate Sasuke forms, which share the base kit but have separate Jutsus and Awakenings, dynamically changing the gameplay depending on the player's preferences.

1. As the Hebi variant, Sasuke has access to his Chidori (stream or spear), his Fireball Jutsu, and his aggressive Curse Mark Second Stage.

2. Wearing his “black suit” against Itachi gives Sasuke access to the devastating Kirin.

3. Finally, his Taka version gives him access to the Mangekyo Sharingan, with AOE sweeps from Amaterasu and Susano'o.

Naruto Shippuden: Shinobi Rumble

Get Sasuke in a tight 2D platformer with a decent Moveset

To end the franchise's Nintendo DS run, Naruto Shippuden: Shinobi Rumble is an arena platformer that is closer Super Smash Bros than Ultimate Ninja. The game condenses the Itachi Pursuit mission into a neatly packaged 18 or so chapters, constantly switching between Sasuke's and Naruto's POVs in one-on-one, free-for-all, and team-based settings.

Sasuke, like other characters, possesses three main Jutsus (for him it's horizontally dashing Chidori, standing diagonally Chidorial Spear, and a sprawling fireball), as well as a Chak-Rush form that gives him super armor (no flinch and knockbacks) while constantly consuming chakra. Unlike others Naruto game, the simple nature of Shinobi Rumble as a 2D arena platformer makes fiddling with Sasuke's kit easier. All of his Jutsus have more powerful chakra consuming variants, and juggling is easy with his attacks, provided they are timed correctly.

What does Shinobi Rumble Especially good for Sasuke fans is that it takes place during the Itachi Pursuit Mission, giving the character plenty of important plot moments – from fighting Orochimaru, to meeting his team, and even his final fight with Itachi.

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3

Comprehensive fighting game experience for Sasuke

Want something that prioritizes the pre-timeskip era? Well, then an older PS2 game like Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 is perfect. Considering it's certainly not as absurdly populated as newer titles, Ultimate Ninja 3 had time to hone his fighting game technique: substitutions, subweapons, directional combos, guard crushes, multi-level aerials, and even better traversal of environments. For-Shippuden Sasuke shines in the game for his more technical kit, as he is now less about spamming long-range projectiles and can actually perform complicated attacks.

Sasuke still rocks his Chidori as an accessible crutch, but he has five-button omnidirectional combos that lead to sweeping kicks (Flying Hurricane Leg), multi-fire attacks (Flying Flame Bullet), and flying combos (Flying Flame Dragon Dance, Twin Flying Heaven Leg), among others. What's interesting here is that Sasuke can also customize his main jutsus and ultimates, allowing players to set Sasuke to their preferred version of the character. Sasuke most prominently transforms into Curse Mark Level 2 here, either as a crutch (via the Ultimate called Wicked Chidori) or as an alternate base form (with his own moveset, such as Chidori: Chakra Blade and Black Chidori).

Fighting game fans will enjoy using Sasuke's moveset as Storm 3 implements new changes across the board: the return of boss battles, mob battles, instant awakenings, ringouts, and even stage destruction, among others.

1. His Part 1 variant awakens into Curse Mark Mode and Sharingan Mode.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4

Has the most number of Sasuke's

Picking Storm 3 or Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is a matter of preference.

Storm 3 has a more compelling approach to the story, while Storm 4 has the larger list and a more complete plot. The faster mechanics in Storm 4 comes with improved agility and even wall-running mechanics, making battles more intense, especially in multiplayer. Despite sharing similar moves, the Sasuke variants come in Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 are superior.

To begin with, Storm 4 has the highest number of Sasuke's in anyone Naruto game, along with very compelling Awakenings.

• Part 1 Sasuke (Curse Mark Level 2).

• Taka, Hebi and the Five Kage Summit Sasukes (partly Susanoo).

• EMS Sasuke (armored Susanoo with arrows).

• Rinne-Sharingan, the last and the way to Boruto Sasuke's (giant Perfect Susanoos).

Not only that, each Sasuke can be the favorite version in specific situations, such as combo-specializing Taka and Hebi versions, protection-pressing FKS Sasuke with Kirin, defensive poke with aggro EMS Sasuke, tool-specializing Rinne-Sharingan Sasuke, and the overall speed force that is the final version.
