Sypnosis
In the distant future of 2075 A.D., the largest corporation of all Japan, Mitsushuchi Co. Limited, has just bought the popular card manufacturing company, Rolling Slam Inc. for 11 billion yen, and announced that it will change its name to Mitsushuchi Toys to continue manufacturing cards well into the future. However, there's some sinister way to use Rolling Slam in their own ways. 1 month later, they announced that they have discontinued production on the long-running Hanafuda cards to make a brand new type of collectible cards aimed at an audience of 14 to 18 years of age, called Battle Fusion. One of these people is a 14-year old card fanatic named Ryota Murakami from the Saitama Prefecture, he and his friends, Kosei "Max" Ryukichi and shildhood friend Mariko Natsumi, signed on to join a Battle Fusion Tournament sponsored by not just Mitsushuchi Co. Limited, but several companies all over the world too, such as SnailCo Productions in Brazil and RX-Topia in Italy. One day though, while preparing to strategize his 12 newly BF cards, two men in a black coat kidnapped Ryota in secret and take him to a underground base. There, he met an executive of Mitsushuchi simply reffered to as Devil Mask. He reveals to the boy that his father secretly used to work for their company, and the one came up with the concept of Battle Fusion in the first place, until a freak accident happened that caused him to ran away from the company, before getting shot by two of his men for disobeying their rules, and the only way to unlock the secret of this collective series of cards is to sacrafice someone releated to their parentage via their blood, and Ryota happens to be one. Shocked by this revelation, he managed to escape their base and hides away somewhere with Max and Mariko. Now, he is a wanted man by Mitsushuchi and must collect a number of cards, battle their henchmen and unlock the power to defeat Devil Mask, the other executives, and their CEO so he can avenge the death of his father.

The story is split in 12 chapters, with 5 locations to explore in a open-world field, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Yokohama. Each location has the main missions, side missions, shops and extras alongside many more.

Gameplay
The gameplay is a turn-based strategy game in which the player (taking control of Ryota) take turns to draw a card of a character, which they have two options, Normal attack and Power attack. Normal attack deals less damage to a character, and Power attack can strike a huge chunk of damage after waiting for the gauge to fill itself up for every turn until the 5th one, though some cards are support-type to help attack cards with power-ups or others. The card can also be evolved once maxed out their level cap or simply requires an item, and fuse with another one to become stronger. Like any other games, Battle Fusion follows the gachapon format of gaining new cards in set packs, via buying with in-game or real currency. There are 9 Types in this game and each have their own weakness and strength and rarity (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare and Hyper Rare), these types are Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Grey, Pink, Aqua Marine, Orange and Black.

Cards
The number of cards you can collect are over 1000 of them, some from the shop, main and side missions, or exclusive events.
