    Overview

    SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters DS is the third installment of the SNK vs Capcom: Card Battle games and is part of the SNK vs Capcom franchise. The first two card battle games were released for the Neo Geo Pocket Color.  

    Game Breaking Bug

    When the game was released in NA, there was a bug which stopped players from progressing through the game.  
    On the 9th floor of your second play through the game will crash after talking to an opponent named Jon, he had to be defeated to carry on through out the game, so it was impossible to get past the 9th floor. 
    On June 25 a replacement cartridge was available for those who purchased the game.

    Gameplay  

    The game takes place in Card Tower, which consists of 21 separate floors. All the opponents on each floor have been brainwashed by MAX, to revert them back to their usual self, you have to beat them in a card battle. You have to beat everyone on a floor to advance tot he next floor of the tower. To move around the floors, you don't have direct d-pad control, instead you can select opponents on the floor and your sprite will automatically move to that opponent.
    Each floors have different gimmicks to them, certain floors contain shops which allow you to purchase new packs of cards, or a a single card chosen at random. To buy cards from the shops you have to use the currency CP which you get for defeating opponents. Some floors are trading floors, you don't need to defeat anyone to advance on this floor you can just skip it completely, or you could trade cards with the AI. For most of the tower,t he levels are split up into two sides, Capcom and SNK. When you choose which side to take you can not go back and go along the other side either due to story related reasons. The only way to go along the other side is after you complete the game you can do a New Game and carry your card decks over to a new game. 
     

    Types of Cards 

    There are three types of cards that can be used in S NK vs Capcom: Card Fighters DS; 
    1. Character Card - These cards are summoned into the ring and are used to attack your opponent or defend against their attacks. Each character card has Health points (HP) and Battle points (BP), HP is how much damage that character can take, BP is how much damage that character can deal.
    2. Action Card - These cards are summoned but don't stay in the ring. Different actiosn will have different effects. They can hurt or heal characters, buff them, make you draw cards etc.
    3. Counter Card - Counter cards can only be used when your opponent is attacking, they are used to give you an advantage while defending.
     

    How to Play

    SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters DS is a trading card game very similar to the rule set of Magic: The Gathering
    • To decide who goes first, both players roll a dice, whoever rolls the highest decides who get the first turn.
    • Each player starts with 2000 Health Points, the objective is to make your opponents health go down to 0, before they do the same to you.
    • At the start of the game you draw 5 cards from your pile and you receive 3 white force. (Force is what you need to use to summon cards on your turn, there are five types, white, red, yellow, green and blue. Certain cards can only be summoned by certain colors)
    • On your turn, you can summon character cards or action cards into the ring. When a character card is summoned it is frozen on it's first turn and can not attack or defend. Or you can discard a card and you will get a force icon depending on the trait of that card. (i.e. if you discard a blue trait card, you will get 1 blue force icon)
    • At the begging of each turn you receive 1 white force, to get more force, you need to have character cards in your ring. (i.e. if you have a yellow character card summoned in your ring, you'll receive 1 yellow force each turn while that card is in the ring)
    • If you have any injured characters you can use character cards in your hand to back them up, this will heal the injured character depending on how much HP the character being used to back up has. You can only back up a character with another character of the same color trait.
    • When you have un-frozen characters in your ring, you can have multiple options with them. you can attack with them, force them, which will freeze them but give you another force icon depending on the characters trait or use their power if they have a power.
    • If you have two characters of the same trait, they can do a fusion attack, a fusion attack costs more force icons, but it adds both characters BP together, if another character counter attacks this card, the remaining BP that is left over will still hurt the opponents life force.
    • Once your turn is over, the opponents takes their turn and this is repeated until one of the players HP is down to 0 and wins.
