In 2012, ACS launched "All☆Star Spirits", which pits loads of characters from various ACS franchises throughout the company's 45 years, against each other. So far, the card game is exclusive only to Japan, though the impending global launch of the mobile game spinoff, All☆Star Spirits Clash, this fall would mark the game's international debut.

Compared to Kessenju, the gameplay leans more towards 1 on 1 combat, and plays quite similar to the Pokemon TCG. Players get to pick up to three Fighter cards which the players use to do battle, power them up with Power cards, and, then unleash their attacks on their opponents to deplete their Life and knock them out. There's also Support cards that give out various advantages, similar to Pokemon's Trainer cards. Whoever gets all of their three Fighters knocked out by the opponent or gets decked out first loses.

Franchises featured in All☆Star Spirits include some of ACS' flagship franchises such as Crisis Moon, Sentoki and Fighting Champions, among others.

Starting in 2015, characters from DokiDoki Bunko titles have also been included. And in 2017, to promote Cross Chaos, the CCG had its first inter-company crossover with an Earth Warriors-centric expansion set.
