In-game shop - items not available

[Wuffell]

Hi all,

So far I've played three games with one character. When I look at the shop, I meet the level requirement for four items. However, only the Core Set Booster Pack is available. The second item says sold out, and the next two say coming soon.

I checked the manual, but I couldn't see the requirements to unlock those items. Can anyone explain it to me please?

Thanks!

The manual in general needs to be updated for several other things too.

Sold out are items you already have, they just remain in the shop forever.
Coming soon are items that will unlock..in an hour or so? I have no idea honestly, all I know is that they're unlocked but not available yet (What's up with that anyway?).

More items will be added as you progress through the campaign and as you play.

You gain expreicene (and so levels) by taking part in multiplayer games.

So you're forced to play multi-player before you can unlock things to use in single player? That feels a little disappointing.
Perhaps others can confirm? As two people gave two different answers.

Thanks :)

Every character and board is unlocked by playing single player. The only characters that can only be unlocked in multiplayer are the 3 low tier and the 3 bosses. The bosses were added a couple monthes ago just to give people who have played a lot some new strategies to use. None of the 3 bosses are that overpowered and can each be heavily countered.

Great thanks. So boards and characters are unlocked through single player. Shop items are unlocked by playing multiplayer and using points that you earn. Is that right?

[Tacet the Terror]

Everything is unlocked from the shop through single player other than the 3 low tier characters that are found on red spaces and the 3 nerfed bosses that are found on boss spaces. Once something is unlocked, you still have to purchase it with stars that can be earned through single player or multiplayer. The multiplayer unlocks are mostly just fun characters to play with others.

Tacet, thanks, I'm a little confused still. Please confirm if this is right:
a) The shop items have level requirements
b) Those levels can only be earned by playing multiplayer
c) When you buy an item in the shop that has a level requirement, it can only affect multiplayer

Is that right, or am I still confused?

[Tacet the Terror]

Still confused:
a) Some shop items have level requirement
b) Yes, levels can only be gained in multiplayer.
c) Items bought with level requirement effect everything, just like everything else, but they are not needed for anything. Doing 100% single player would give you all the unlocks you need, as well as an edge up whenever you do go to multiplayer. The things unlocked from multiplayer consist of discounts and characters that are weaker than the ones unlocked from campaign.

Another way of putting it:

The original game has 12 playable characters, all the currently existing maps, non-playable enemy trophy cards, and non-playable boss trophy cards. It has no playable enemies or bosses, and no color packs.

All of these features are fully accessible by playing the single-player campaigns, accumulating stars, and buying them from the shop, except the maps. The maps are just gotten by clearing certain campaign scenarios, I think.

This semi-remake adds a multiplayer level system, playable enemies, playable bosses, and color packs. It also adds an additional means of unlocking the maps -- by buying them in the store. Playable enemies, playable bosses, some color packs, and store-purchase maps all have a level requirement, I think. You can only gain levels by playing more multiplayer.

So by playing only single-player, the only things you're really missing out on are the playable enemies and playable bosses, and some color packs. (All color packs are entirely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay.)

Awesome, thanks everyone, I've got it now :)
