Here is an overview of the game, via its official website:
Medabots x Card Game
A new Robattle where ingenuity and strategy collide is about to begin!
The history and excitement built up by Medafighters.
That story now begins anew as a card game.
Three Modes
- Versus Battle – From friends to unmet rivals, challenge other players in both “Network” and “Local” battles.
- Robattle Challenge – Challenge Medacardfighters awaiting you in a variety of terrains, including forests and rocky areas. Build your strategy based on the terrain and your opponent’s deck.
- Robattle Tower – Aim for continued victory and battle your way to the top of Robattle Tower! The Medacardfighters and terrain on each floor change at random each time you play, so choose a deck that best suits the situation. There are four towers, each corresponding to a difficulty level (“Easy,” “Normal,” “Hard,” and “Endless.”) If you lose, you will start again from the first floor.
Collect Cards and Form a Strategy for Victory
- Collect Medabots, Parts, Tactics, Medafighters, Medaforce, and more—gather from over 400 cards to build your own unique deck.
- The flow of battle can shift dramatically depending on what cards you use and when you use them. Utilize each Medabot’s unique abilities and traits to win!
- A single move can determine the outcome—a card game experience unique to Medabots!
Version Differences
In Medabots Card Robattle RB Kabuto Version, players will receive a shooting-type deck after completing the tutorial at the start of the game. In Medabots Card Robattle RB Kuwagata Version, players will receive a fighting-type deck. Additionally, there are some cards that are exclusive to each version. These cards can be obtained in the other version via Versus Battle mode.
