List of Kessenju video games

Over the years, ACS has published several games based around the Kessenju franchise, mostly ranging from digitized conversions of the card game, to role-playing games featuring characters from the various Kessenju manga and anime series.

Kessenju: Portable Deck/Dueling Decks series
The Kessenju: Portable Deck series is a series of digital collectible card games developed and published by ACS. It is based on the Kessenju franchise. Released for Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. The first game in the series, Kessenju: Portable Deck, released in 2002, was the first-ever video game based on Kessenju to be released.

The Kessenju: Portable Deck series translates the gameplay of the Kessenju card game into a more interactive environment. Players duel against the characters of Kessenju, each with their own decks, in order to win booster packs to expand their own decks and get more powerful cards. Players can also duel against or trade with each other via link cable (in the GBA titles) or Nintendo WFC (in the DS titles).

Out of all the games in the Portable Deck series, only 2nd Expand, 3rd Expand and DS were released overseas, under the title Kessenju!: Ultimate Battle Beasts: Dueling Decks. These versions of the game include alterations from their Japanese counterparts, such as omitting cards that weren't released in the American TCG.

Kessenju RPG trilogy
The Kessenju RPG trilogy is a series of role-playing/digital collectible card games developed and published by ACS. It is based on the Kessenju franchise. Released for Game Boy Advance as an exclusive title.

Whereas the Portable Deck series is a direct translation of the card game to interactive software, with little-to-none in the way of story. the RPG trilogy, as its name indicates incorporates several RPG elements such as top-down exploration, a levelling system, card shops, random encounters (until they were removed in the second game), and a heavier focus on the game's story. Battles are still contested using the card game, meaning deck buliding still plays a heavy role in the gameplay.

Titles

 * Kessenju! RPG: Shori no Michi / Kessenju!: Ultimate Battle Beasts: Showdown of the Duelists (2003; Game Boy Advance)
 * Kessenju! RPG 2: Duelist no Tamashi / Kessenju!: Ultimate Battle Beasts: Spirit of the Master Duelist (2004; Game Boy Advance)
 * Kessenju RPG 3: Sousen no Kakusei / Kessenju!: Ultimate Battle Beasts: Rise of the Primordials (2005; Game Boy Advance)

Kessenju!: Ultimate Battle Beasts: Duels of Destiny
Kessenju!: Ultimate Battle Beasts: Duels of Destiny, known in Japan as '''Kessenju! GC''', is a digital collectible card game developed and published by ACS. It is based on the Kessenju franchise. Released in 2004 in Japan, and in 2005 in the US, for Nintendo Gamecube as an exclusive title. It is the first and only Kessenju game to be released exclusively for a home console.

The game's story is an alternate retelling of the Great Duelist Tournament arc, which spans the majoroty of the anime's first season, with the players taking the role of a friend of Sendo Tenryu, who joins his group as they enter the Great Duelist Tournament. Players choose between a male or female avatar, and battle against other duelists, earning DP (Duel Points) to buy more booster packs to strengthen their deck. Dialogue in the game is presented in a visual novel style, with the player making choices every now and then. As it released for a console, it was able to include features that weren't possible in the portable games at the time, such as a full 3D playing field, cinematic battles between the monsters and full voice acting from the anime's voice cast.

The game includes 2-player duels, as well as card trading using memory cards. The game also supports Game Boy Advance link connectivity, which allows players to transfer their cards from the Portable Deck/Dueling Decks games into Duels of Destiny.

Kessenju REVOLUTION: Saikyo Duelist no Chousen series
The Kessenju REVOLUTION: Saikyo Duelist no Chousen series is a series of digital collectible card games developed and published by ACS. It is based on the Kessenju franchise. Released for PlayStation Portable as an exclusive title.

Unlike the other games based on Kessenju (besides the later Portable Deck DS titles), the Saikyo Duelist no Chousen series is based on the sequel series, Kessenju REVOLUTION, instead of the original series. The game is a spiritual successor to Duels of Destiny, and borrows most of its gameplay elements, including its focus on story, the visual novel-style dialogue, the 3D playing field, cinematic monster battles and full voice acting. The games also feature multiplayer duels and card trading via Ad-Hoc.

So far, none of the Saikyo Duelist no Chousen games have been released outside Japan.

Titles

 * Kessenju REVOLUTION: Saikyo Duelist no Chousen (2007; Playstation Portable)
 * Kessenju REVOLUTION: Saikyo Duelist no Chousen 2 (2008; Playstation Portable)
 * Kessenju REVOLUTION: Saikyo Duelist no Chousen 3 (2009; Playstation Portable)

Kessenju: Card Clash!!
Kessenju: Card Clash!! is a digital collectible card game developed by Cygames and published by ACS. It is based on the Kessenju franchise. Released in 2018 for iOS and Android. It is the first Kessenju video game to be released in over 8 years.

The game features a campaign mode, where players can duel against the many characters of the Kessenju franchise, including its various various sequel series: REVOLUTION, VICTORY, CLASH, DD and (as of the April 2020 update) ACES, as well as a multiplayer mode where players can duel with other players all across the country. The game is a "gacha" game, with the main gacha element of the game being the booster packs, which unlock more powerful cards. Because of the games' multiplayer and gacha elements, the game can only be played online.

As of this writing, Kessenju: Card Clash!! is only available in the Japanese App Store and Play Store. Though it can be downloaded in other countries through websites such as Qooapp, there are currently no plans for an official English release or translation of the game.
