Player Match lets you go online and test out decks against other people waiting in the lobby, and Ranked Matches allow you to test your skill against others and have your name rise up on the leader boards. You can go online with decks that don’t have any banned cards (you also have to own all of the cards in the decks that you use, but the game does a good job of letting you know with icons if a deck can’t go online) and battle against friends and rivals alike in 3 different ways.īattle Packs are packs of cards you can buy for 5 rounds of dueling that reward you with a load of cards once you complete the pack, you can take these online and battle against other Battle Packers or just do it solo in a single player version. Check out the subreddit for stuff like that if you’re interested.įinally the Multiplayer (which is one of the most necessary parts of this game) is pretty decent. The community is also making this a bit better, by providing spreadsheets on which characters/booster packs have what cards, allowing you to pick and choose who you battle to get the deck that you want most. One of the best things about Yu-Gi-Oh is getting a pack, and seeing a card you want lying there before you.

Some of these duels are INTENSE, and very difficult, but if you can’t get past one, do another and unlock some cards, adjust your deck, and come back to it with a whole new strategy! The more you win against them, the more of their deck you’ll have until you’ve unlocked the entire recipe.

You take them on with various pre-built decks that they have, and if you win you get a decent number of their cards. Duel Points are used to purchase cards from different booster packs that you unlock on your journey, but a majority of your card collecting will come from the Duelist Challenges.ĭuelist Challenges have you facing off against enemies from the story with your own deck. During these campaigns, you’ll do battle with the many friends and enemies of the Yu-Gi-Oh world, and you’ll be earning cards and DP the whole way through. The story has a lot of the major duels from the anime, and it covers Yu-Gi-Oh, GX, 5D’s, and Zexal (again with only one battle for Arc V). For newcomers, this is your way to become familiar with the Yu-Gi-Oh world, and get in touch with that backstory that I just rambled about. One of the first great additions to this game, and the main selling point, is the fact that it actually has the stories for each arc of Yu-Gi-Oh (except for Arc V, which really just seems sloppily thrown in there with only one battle that serves as a tutorial for Pendulum Summoning). Well, Legacy of the Duelist is interesting in a few ways, and misses a couple of marks in others. So enough backstory, what about THIS Yu-Gi-Oh game. Obviously, seeing as Konami are the ones that are behind the card game, and they’ve had success with video games in the past, they decided to bring it to the digital market. Point is, the show made it COOL to play the card game, and when you get to the actual card game, its very deep and the range of decks that you can make with the different cards is seemingly infinite. There’s a special feeling to dropping a Blue Eyes White Dragon on the field, and remembering that time that Kaiba ripped up Old Man Motou’s card up… well maybe not a special feeling, but ha. Yu-Gi-Oh as a show serves the card game by adding relevance to specific cards and adds stories to go with them. So what makes Yu-Gi-Oh so fun? Well, the show depicts a card game where monsters actually come out of the cards and attack and you see the entire backstory behind the card game. The real life card game is played worldwide in tournaments and for fun, while various other games have been made to celebrate the media, including games for the Gamecube, Playstation, Xbox 360, and even Android. In America, it has existed for well over a decade, and ever since it began airing on televisions in 2001, kids and adults alike began to pick up the cards from the show and started having their own duels.
YUGIOH LEGACY OF THE DUELIST PS4 REVIEW SERIES
Yu-Gi-Oh is a popular card battle manga and anime series published by Viz Media and Weekly Shonen Jump. To give you a look at what I mean, i’ll cover what I liked about it, after explaining the game to any newcomers that might be checking this out. Dope, or not so dope? Well, depends on you, the player, but pretty much, yes. Okay now that my nostalgia trip is done, Yu-Gi-Oh: Legacy of the Duelist. You were cool if you had a tin, but even cooler if you had the Battle City Duel Disk and the Deck Belt. When the original show aired every Saturday on CW11, i’d watch every episode, go to the store next to my school and buy packs of cards and sometimes i’d get lucky enough to save up money, just enough to get a tin.

So I want to preface this by saying, I am, a huge Yu-Gi-Oh fan.
