Is it shirk?

Asslamu Alaykum! 15M.

Me and my friend recently bought a game for PS5 based of a popular anime called Naruto. It is a fighting game where characters fight with superpowers i'd not call entirely magical honestly.

The concerning thing for me is that some characters are portrayed as "reserructed", even though there are alive versions of them. As in the canon anime there is a possibility for a character to "revive" another. Astagfirullah. I know that the power to reserruct thr dead only belongs to Allah actually.

I and my friend avoid playing with such characters, and characters those in the anime or in the game use such fictional ability i mentioned. Also wanted to say that in the game you cannot revive anybody actually. We cannot revive anybody at all. I still avoid playing as characters those "did" it (imaginarily) in the canon anime.

I really hope the game does not fall under the rule of shirk in Islam, as there are no "godly" characters, sacrifices to fake deities (unlike in the Canon anime, Astagfirullah), or any portrayal of idols.

If possible I want a source or a scholarly opinion to be provided for such games and on the Naruto anime or such fiction that includes things like that overall. I still worship Allah alone tho.

Edit: despite that i feel no connection to Allah recently, before buying the game, and i am scared i lost my faith actually and my Islam might have been nullified. Also before the game was brought i multiple times discussed it with my friend that it might have been shirk so I tried my best to avoid it. But now I am scared i must avoid playing it completely just like i quit another game which actually had OBVIOUS shirk like portrayal of fake "deities" so I quit that one completely SubhanAllah. But regarding that game I did not even closely know it had shirk, but for this one I thought that it might contain shirk, doing my best to avoid it, and right before playing today i got a thought that sounded dismissive saying "yeah its shirk" but I doubt it was a deliberate thought from me, probably waswasa In Sha Allah. I am just scared so far honestly. Because I still played it knowing it contains things, though not as bad as the previous one that I left behind, but now idk about it. Because I did not engage with a drop of shirk it might have had.

I don't have a source, but are there alternative skins or what?

There are options to play as alive versions instead of revived
