This is a card battle game in which the player becomes a resident of the familiar "Kamimuromachi" and fights against foreign enemies that threaten him while cooperating with other residents. Familiar characters from the original will appear with a number of special moves. In the game, while proceeding with requests from residents, collect and nurture fellow cards and build your own deck.

If you show remarkable activity, you can move up to the top of the ranking and get the best reward.
