■ Story mode info blowout!

＜Shared prologue＞
Three stars float in space... Ultraman, Masked Rider, and Gundam.
Living on different worlds, their fates were separate.
Then, one day...

Something changed.
The mysterious planet "Struggle" appeared in the skies above each world.
Its incredible mass drew the three worlds together.
And at the same time, unknown entities known as "Vision", seemingly twins, appeared...…

＜Justice-side prologue＞
Warriors of Justice, drawn together by the disaster, see a "Vision"... "If the three worlds are drawn closer together, untold tragedy will occur..."
The Vision disappears, leading them toward Struggle.
Our warriors, seeking the truth behind the Vision and its prophecy, set forth for the planet Struggle.

＜Vice-side prologue＞
After the disaster, another Vision appears before the warriors of Vice, foretelling of an untold power hidden by Stragaia as the heart of Struggle which will be revealed as the worlds draw closer.
"Do you desire this power?" The Vision lures them toward Struggle.
Unnatural disaster. If this is the work of Stragaia, perhaps that power would be better turned to their own ends... The warriors set off for Struggle.

■ 18 heroes, each with their own massive story!


The Story Mode is a board-style map packed full of RPG elements like crossover plot, card collection, and character powering-up.
Each character's story is composed of several scenarios, and each scenario has its own boss to beat.
As you clear missions, you'll advance through several "discs" in each board. Some discs have their own tricks or special battle statuses if the player stops there.
Players can also earn experience and cards through "Prisms" (chests) and "Terminals" (gashas"), leveling up on their way to the enemy boss.

▲ Scenario select

▲ Mission/sub-mission confirm
