I want to play this now

[Weiss 8,279]

It's like Chain of memories 2. Dream come true

[KingdomHearts3 2,591]

I can't wait until it's released internationally!

[Saber Lily 1,543]

Well. I wish it had at least Days level graphics. Then I'd be happier.

 

But I digress. Looks to be ok. Wish the potential was put to it's fullest.

[Orchestrafanboy19 101]

I keep hearing about this game, I know nothing about this game.

[Emily Murphy 28]

 

Only without a storyline. I hope it's better then it sounds, too me it doesn't seem like all that ._.

[PublicLibraryx 55]

The only difference to Chain of Memories is that it's more or less turn based, And the cards that are in your deck are chosen at random during battle ,_. So you don't have to do anything during battle except (I think) Click on the enemy after they've attacked. Though you usually get the first attack anyways. It's a neat game that helps pass time i guess.
