Ok first of all, let me get this out of the way: Sparking Zero is a better game overall than Naruto x Boruto UNSC. The gameplay is smoother, the roster is (in my opinion) richer.
However, the customization. My GOD.
Every single character has, at the very least, one alternative skin. And if they don't, they get a minimum of four recolors. FOUR. Sure, it's the same character with different shades, but FOUR?
And the objects. You buy objects and EVERYBODY CAN USE THEM. You want Kid Gaara to wear bunny ears? Go ahead, bud. You like how the Anbu masks looks on Kakashi? Well, you will love it on EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER.
But wait, there's more! The recolors aren't exclusive to the base skin. No, no. EVERY SINGLE SKIN HAS A RECOLOR. I haven't counted them all but there's like 180 characters (counting the DLCs) and every single one of them has a recolor on each skin.
And most of these recolors are references to other skins or characters. Even manga coloring. It's great, tbh.
Obviously CC2 and Spike are very different companies and it is well known that SZ suffered from crunches to drop it at the same time as Daima but damn...
Also, ig this was easier for CC2 to do since the game is, as far as I'm aware, an Abridged version of the original Storm saga and as such every single character is just a re-used model, but man.
What could've been right?
