Unlike other areas of the Suikoden franchise, in which the storyline is a major element of gameplay, Card Stories focuses mainly on the card battles themselves and less on the plot.
Most of the cards feature characters who appear in both Suikoden and Suikoden II of Konami's role-playing video game series. Several cards also feature characters who would later go on to appear in Suikoden III.
The GBA game retells the story of Suikoden II with a few changes. The English fan translation of the game by Pokeytax was released on September 7, 2013.[2]
