Rory Smith of GamesRadar+ said that while fans might enjoy the multiplayer mode, the dialogues are too long and the missions are reduced to 'wandering through unremarkable environments'. On Metacritic, Naruto Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising received a metascore of 60 out of 100 based on 15 critic reviews and a user score of 6.0 out of 10 based on 11 ratings. Aaron Birch of Den of Geek liked the presentation and the ample game modes, but he still viewed the game as 'dull', with 'small, often empty levels', and commented that he had begun to tire quickly when playing the game. Despite praising the game's music and the English voice-over artists' work, Allen Rausch of GameSpot also characterized Naruto Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising as 'mediocre' and offered it a score of 5.5 out of 10. Clements offered the game a score of 5.0 out of 10. He further commented that the game's battle system can be frustrating, and he described it as 'a mediocre game at best'. Ryan Clements of IGN was disappointed, stating that Naruto Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising follows the same story as Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 4 and is no fun. The game was released on Septemin Europe, Octoin Australia and Octoin North America.

The previous release on PlayStation 2 was replaced by a handle-console on PlayStation Portable, created by Cavia in this series after it was replaced by Legends: Akatsuki Rising's former name Uzumaki Chronicles. It is the third adventure game in the Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles series for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). Naruto Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising is a video game developed by Cavia and published by Namco Bandai games.
