HEROES OF RUIN uses StreetPass to create an inventive in-game \u2018Traders\u2019 Network\u2019 where players can buy and sell rare and powerful items picked up in battle. With an ever-changing inventory updated from each player passed in public, character strengths and abilities can be greatly enhanced through accessing items from other players\u2019 games.
