“#Compass*: Combat Providence Analysis System” is a real-time battle game in which players form 3-player teams with their friends for 3-minute battles and compete with other players’ teams to capture bases placed on the stage. By collecting skill cards, players can prepare for competition by creating the strongest decks with a variety of combination-based strategies. It is a completely new genre of battle game that packs elements of action games, strategy games, and card games into 3-minute battles.

“#Compass,” which stands for “COMbat Providence Analysis System,” is a game set in a fictional social media world where players communicate with each other through battles. With functions similar to a real-life social networking site, it provides a venue not only for battles, but also for players to discuss game strategies and exchange information about tournament events.
