Mechanics
The pillar of Monster Rancher Battle Card: Episode II's gameplay are turn-based duels with other Battle Cards players. In total, we have fifty cards at our disposal - three of them correspond to monsters put up for combat, the remaining ones are used to perform attacks, the creatures, or defend (effective when the opponent decides to go on the offensive). Individual attacks require a certain amount of energy called GUTS, which is obtained by sacrificing the cards from our hand - it is worth ing that we can discard all five cards assigned to us in a given round in order to generate the most of it, but then we will be completely defenseless.
We get new cards both by winning subsequent duels and by importing data from CDs. We are talking about the game's data disc, as well as other game released on PlayStation 1, and even CD-ROMs containing music or PC games.
Game modes
In addition to the story mode, Monster Rancher Battle Card: Episode II also features a multiplayer variant of the game, in which we can challenge another player to a duel.
Technical aspects
Monster Rancher Battle Card: Episode II features an extensive but intuitive interface. The fun is enriched by spectacular animations of attacks.
