Cardfight!! Vanguard Dear Days is a top-down view, strategy, CCG, developed by Lancarse and FuRyu Corporation and published by Bushiroad.
This game is the fifth installment in the Cardfight!! Vanguard series. It is the first in the series to be released outside of Japan, and the first to be released on PC via Steam.
The game, set in the overDress universe, focuses on Yuki Ichidoji, a high-schooler who learns about Vanguard and sets off to find the original members of the Vanguard team, Setsugetsuka, in the hopes of reviving the team to their former glory.
The game was released worldwide on Steam on November 16, 2022.
While the game was positively received, with praise going towards its story, presentation, and faithfulness to the TCG, the game was criticized for its lack of online crossplay, the questionable quality of its English localization upon release, and its high price tag for the base game and its DLC in certain regions.[2][3][4]
