Gameplay

Players build a deck on a grid using koma, manga panel pieces sorted into battle koma, the main fighters who actually appear on screen, support koma, which perform a one time assist before leaving, and help koma, which grant passive boosts. Matches support up to four players and the game includes more than seventy story missions built around combining characters from different series.

Premise

Death Note joins the roster early in the crossover's life, well before the anime aired, contributing Light Yagami and L as support koma rather than as playable battle koma. Neither character fights directly; instead they trigger a one off move when called in, reflecting how the manga's story revolves around deduction rather than combat.
