I only found this game last night and I am now in love, sadly I can't play it since I am on a Mac and my windows laptop won't turn on but I still see a lot of potential and I hope it doesn't die. But on to my suggestions
1. Gameplay over looks - I saw the older version to this game and it looked really good back then in terms of graphics and gameplay but now that you're using the Unity engine, yes it looks good but can it handle the stress down the road?
What I mean is, You plan on having 11 main villages right? So for this game to have a RPG feel these villages need to be populated, so a good number to give each village life is around 500-1000 Players, you can probably fill in some areas with NPCs, But the point is if each village have around 500-1000 players, that's 555-11000 players running around and for a game this fast paced with jutsus and fast combat, there's going to be lag. Hopefully you guys have this in mind and you can make a fix before the problem happens.
2.Skill levels - You guys probably have this done on paper but I'll still make my suggestion, I think there should be a levelling system for a lot of needed things, example: Chakra control, if your chakra control level is at 0 you won't be able to walk on water or walls and also your jutsu strength will be low and the size of the jutsu will be small (Fire breath, lightning ball, etc). also some jutsus should require a high chakra control level, like the lightning ball, if it's low and you try to do the jutsu, it will backfire causing damage. Other skill levels in mind are, throwing, medical, raw speed, chakra dash, stealth, strength, health and stamina. (I have much more ideas for this but I don't wanna take up a lot your time reading these).
3. Abilities - Some abilities I had in mind are, 1. Sensory: You can still count this is as a skill but this can be limited to certain clans or just very skilled Shinobis but what I had in mind is, having the sensory skill can let you detect surrounding enemies (the higher the skill the more enemies you can detect with perfect accuracy (number of Shinobis and village). More abilities in mind are, camouflage (blending into trees, bush, sand, etc with a icon saying that you're hidden) and Genjutsu (this one will take a lot of development so this can wait)
This is all I have in mind on this topic, sorry if it's too much or if it has been discussed already.
