#C.O.M.P.A.S.S. (which stands for COMbat Providence AnalysiS System) is a free-to-play mobile game created by NHN Playart and DWANGO/Nico Nico Douga.

Advertised as a "Social Networking/Battle Game," players compete against each other in a 3v3 battle, in which teams fight against each other over 5 portal keys on the map. The team with the most keys under their control win. The game offers a variety of playable characters (also known as "Heroes") that are divided into four distinct roles: Attackers, Gunners, Sprinters, and Tanks. Each Hero comes with their own custom theme song made by a Vocaloid producer that plays during battle. Players also use cards to support and activate various attacks to gain an advantage over the opposing team. Outside of battle, players can upload posts, send friend requests, and hang out with other users in lounges.

Download the game on the App Store or Google Play Store.

This game provides examples of:

• Always Accurate Attack: As long as you're within range of each other, normal attacks will auto-aim towards the nearest enemy.
• Anti-Armor: There are 3 ways to deal with heavily protected enemy heroes, namely using cards with the "guard break" subtype or using a hero action that is designed to break them, using cards with "weaken" subtype, particularly ones that debuff enemy heroes' defense, that will allow you to cut through their health with ease, or using cards with "pierce" subtype that ignore guard cards and high defense stats alike or using a hero skill that cuts through them.
• Artificial Stupidity: Whenever a player is unable to connect to the match, they are automatically kicked out and their character will be controlled by an AI in battle. The AI itself is quite useless in battle, often having slow reaction times to enemy attacks and never fully expanding a key's field, so don't expect to win a match if an AI is on your team.
• Cap: All cards in the game start with a level cap of 20, but when limit broken up to four times they can reach up to the maximum cap of 60.
  • The game also has a damage cap of 99999, which can only be achieved through certain hero skills/event cards.
• Crossover: #COMPASS has collaborated with a variety of franchises, which typically involves introducing guest fighters, new character skins, and/or cards featuring art of the respective franchise.

• Damage Over Time: There cards with the "poison" subtype that instead of dealing damage immediately, they deal a set amount of damage proportional to the enemy hero's max health and there is a hero by the name of Al-Dahab who is designed to deal poison damage with his hero action and hero skill.
• Damage Reduction: Guard cards reduce the damage of incoming attacks by a set percentage (from 25% to 100% depending on the card) while defense strength cards buff your defense stat instead.
• Damage Typing: There are three types of damage in the game: Regular damage, which can be affected by any Status Buff or debuff that directly affects it but is checked by defense stats and damage reduction from guard cards. Piercing damage cannot be affected by any Status Buff or debuff, but ignores the enemy's defense and guard completely. Poison damage works similarly to piercing damage, but instead of dealing damage based on the given hero's base attack, it's calculated by how much % of the enemy's max health it deals based on the kind of card used (as their damage values are different from one another) or Gustav's hero skill and Al-Dahab's dash attack.
• Disney Villain Death: If a map incorporates a Bottomless Pit, players can utilize it by using cards or hero actions that can push or pull their enemies to their deaths.
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: Tadaomi Ouka and Gustav Heydrich are Japanese and German military leaders respectively who are plotting to take over the world, which is quite reminiscent of the Axis Powers from WWII.
• Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Each card has an attribute of fire, water, or earth. Normal attacks also have elements associated with them, though it is possible to switch between elements mid-attack to gain an advantage over the enemy.
• Go-Karting with Bowser: #COMPASS has a diverse list of characters, ranging from young children to heroes to leaders who want world domination and all the way up to a God of the Dead, yet they all match up with or against each other in otherwise a game of capture the flag.
• Guest Fighter: The game offers a variety of playable "collaboration heroes" such as Sol Badguy, Monokuma, Emilia, and Gilgamesh.
• Palette Swap: All of the Original 10 and additional heroes have obtainable recolors of their original outfit.
• Respawn Point: When dying, characters will respawn back at the team spawn area at the beginning of the map.
  • When being revived by Jeanne's hero skill, heroes will respawn in the same spot they died in or in the nearest platform should they fall into a Bottomless Pit.
• Say It with Hearts: Ririka’s event card makes all chat commands pink and ends them with hearts. Marcos’s event card does the same thing, but makes the chat commands orange and ends them with stars.
• Walking Swimsuit Scene: Some of the heroes have obtainable swimsuit outfits. When unlocked, the swimsuit can be worn by the character any time of the year.
