On Thursday, April 23, 2026, the latest work by game creator Kazuma Kaneko finally arrives!
■ Game Features
● A story where gods, demons, and humans intersect, drawn by the genius Kazuma Kaneko
The designs of the "Shinma (gods and demons)" incorporate modern interpretations and motifs based on folklore from all ages and cultures. The dark and solid worldview fusing mythology and modern technology invites players to extraordinary battles.
● A battle of thinking speed carved out by "3 cards"
The upper limit of your hand is always "3 cards." You can experience speedy and thrilling battle developments.
Intuitive controls to predict enemy movements and swap cards, combined with deep strategy where one wrong move can be fatal. Enjoy a highly refined tactical experience with simple controls.
● Different battle styles for each character!
There are 5 playable characters in this game, allowing you to enjoy battles in 5 different styles. The key to conquering the dungeons is for the player to understand each characteristic and strategically select and strengthen randomly appearing cards (Shinma Cards).
● The "Creation Card" system where player choices return as cards
The player's choices during exploration bring changes to the performance and types of the trump card "Creation Cards (Sousei-fuda)." Even if you fall during exploration, the acquired "Creation Cards" are recorded as an archive, leaving an opportunity to re-acquire them in the next exploration.
[Overview of 'Devil May Cry 5' Collaboration Content]
Collaboration content with the massive hit action game 'Devil May Cry 5' will appear. You will encounter Dante, Nero, Vergil, and others in the middle of the story, and depending on your choices, enter into battle. If you successfully win the battle, they will become powerful assets as "Shinma Cards." The Shinma Cards for Dante, Nero, and Vergil each feature exclusive card effects that recreate the characteristics of the original work, allowing you to enjoy exhilarating battles reminiscent of 'DMC5' despite being a card game.
[About 'Devil May Cry 5']
