Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) – Convenient, but not for everyone
What it includes:
This instantly unlocks all 100+ characters from the base game, including most variations (e.g., Six Paths Naruto, Rinnegan Sasuke, all Kage, Jinchuriki, and Boruto-era characters like Sarada and Mitsuki). It does NOT unlock DLC-exclusive characters (e.g., The Last variants, Momoshiki, Kinshiki, or Boruto’s Dad’s Clothes Naruto) – those require separate purchase or beating specific DLC story arcs.

Verdict:
✅ Buy it if: You only play casually/offline with friends, or you’ve already beaten the game before on another platform.
❌ Skip it if: You enjoy unlocking characters organically, are on a tight budget, or plan to 100% the game anyway. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) – Convenient, but not for
Final note (verified from current game version):
On PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One/Series X|S, and PC (Steam), the DLC works as advertised. No known bugs or progress resets. Just ensure you download it after the latest patch (v1.07+ for Road to Boruto). Do not buy if you own the Legacy or Trilogy editions – those already include all characters.
