Shadow Crystals are the currency required to purchase new decks or booster packs. There are also options to manage your deck cards, visit the merchant, change game options like sound, music, and game speed, and view your own status. You can play against the CPU or through online multiplayer from the game menu. Experience will make your hero stronger, and the gold can be used to purchase individual cards from the shop. Defeating the enemy will earn you experience and gold. Remember that like other TCGs, strategy is required. Like any other card game, the goal is to reduce your enemies HP to 0 in this case, you have to strike the hero with your summonable ally cards. It's gameplay is pretty simple enough to pick up after a few moments. If you didn't get any of the stuff I just said in the above paragraph, don't worry - the game has a tutorial that will guide you through the basics in your first battle. Allies summoned during the current turn cannot attack the same turn, but previously summoned allies can attack any of your enemy targets or the enemy hero themselves.



Once you have enough resources, you can summon an ally or cast an ability. This is pretty good because it makes you think strategically. The phases of the game start with you drawing a card and then sacrificing one to use as a "resource" - allies and abilities require resources to use, so you have to sacrifice cards that may not be of use to you.
