Anode Heart: Layer Null

Anode Heart: Layer Null is a side-game spin-off of the monster-taming game Anode Heart, built around expanded card battles and deckbuilding. You play as Blank, a new player in the Duel Server, an in-between Layer of the Systems where everything is decided by card games. As you rise through the Server Ranks, you encounter the Shadowed, members of a mysterious organization with an unknown, probably evil goal.

The Duel Server

The story takes place in a new Layer and follows a new cast of characters, though some familiar faces and names return. The game includes recurring characters and references to the first Anode Heart, but knowing them is not necessary to enjoy this story. Layer Null focuses entirely on its card game and serves as a bridge to the sequel, which takes place on the far side of Zearth after the first game's ending.

Build and battle decks

The card minigame from Anode Heart is expanded with 10 new booster packs, rebalanced card sets, and revised rules and mechanics. You collect and play with more than 500 cards, battle card bosses and Tama, and climb a tournament-style ranking system. The game also includes Tama monster DNA collection.
