Characters, monsters, items, spells, and even locations all appear as magical cards. Battles, of course, are also conducted with cards. Unlike some of the more complicated card battle titles, WildCard will feature an easy to pick up and understand battle system.
Attacks consist of simply a character card combined with a weapon or spell card.
Defeating monsters earns you additional cards or Elemental Spirits that join your party.
