No problem! Noel is definitely an awesome character! Her projectile moves are pretty brutal in a card battle. We are definitely looking into other platforms/devices. It's an ongoing discussion. We are launching on iPad first and then seeing what is possible after that. I'll update if we lock down any further plans. BlazBlue: Battle Cards is an online multiplayer game so a wi-fi connection, or data plan, will be needed to play other opponents. It makes for a compelling experience since matches will be happening in real-time!
BlazBlue: Battle cards is all about fighting opponents online, but it is also about collecting more fighting moves! Open packs to add Common, Uncommon, Rare and Unique cards to your fighter decks!
The game will be online multiplayer only at launch. The single player aspects will be card collecting, deck building and playing tutorials. We are still discussing post-launch features/updates so anything is possible.
BlazBlue: Battle Cards will let you unleash unique weapon cards! Be wary of Hazama's "Balisong Knives"...the lasting effect can be game changing!
Check out this gameplay still of one of NOEL's projectile cards being played! "Vaulting Volley" not only inflicts damage, it also affects the next card played!
Looks fantastic. I'll keep pushing for this. Consider iPhone support. I'd like an alternative fighting card game besides Yomi.
Thanks! We're hoping to expand to other devices/platforms but I don't have any solid news to share at the moment. I'll be sure to let everyone know if/when we have anything to announce!
Check out our pre-launch trailer for BlazBlue: Battle Cards. Now you can see what actual gameplay looks like! Please share and reply with any questions or comments. Thanks! Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Looks really good, artwork is fantastic. Are you able to provide info on cards? How many at release? Will you buy cards in packs? Or one at a time random chance? Thanks. Would love to see a wallpaper.
Happy to hear your like the art! I'll let our artists know! There will be over 200 cards to collect at launch and they can be collected by playing the game to acquire packs, or packs can be purchased if you want to get more fighting moves quicker.
Release window is still being locked down. More news to come soon. In the meantime, I can share with you that we have just hit beta!
The price model is the critical question for me here. FTP with purchasable packs - can you earn the packs without paying? I paid $20 for Yomi, play it regularly, and consider it some of the best gaming money I've ever spent. I have 0 interest in a game with random packs and an open ended financial commitment to get Ragna playing the way he should.
Expect to be Dissapointed then since buying packs is the way card games usually are. It will prob be just like hearthstone, can buy or also earn in game. I'm ok with that, it's a fair system for a free card game and it's par for the course.
You can purchase or earn packs. Packs can be earned by finishing daily challenges ("Bounties") and by winning enough battles. You don't have to purchase packs, but the option is there if you would like to expand your fighter decks quicker.
Unfortunately, we don't have plans for an open-Beta at the moment but a soft-launch is very possible. I'll update when more info is available.
