About the Game

Welcome to the Academy, Cadet!

In this free prologue of Takara Cards, you can create your Cadet and venture into the first sector of your adventure in search of the Space-Dragons who stole from the Federation.

Build your deck while exploring the Cosmos, and choose from a handful of Maneuver and Equipment cards earned in story events, level-ups, and stores.

Create new characters and strategies:

Earn extra XP in combat by doing a chain of COMBOS!

Plan and make your turns never end: Defeating a wave of enemies recharges your batteries.

You might even resort to using your whole ship as a weapon!

Continue your adventure from the Prologue in the full version of Takara Cards without doing anything!
