This week’s issue of Famitsu reveals “Cardfight!! Vanguard G: Stride to Victory!”, a new game for 3DS. We now have the first information from the magazine.
In Cardfight!! Vanguard G: Stride to Victory!, players will find the same familiar characters, but in an original story. Big changes have been made to the mechanics/system, and this game is said to be a work that is a culmination of all previous Cardfight titles.
Cardfight!! Vanguard G: Stride to Victory! makes use of a new battle system. Gameplay is comprised of high profile 1-on-1 battles with cards. Players can form a deck of 50 cards and use different units such as Knights, Dragons, Dinosaurs, and Angels.
Legion and Stride modes have been made in response to the anime. Here’s an overview of each:
