Feb. 2025

It's fun for veterans of the game that just want an online experience. Opening packs gives a great dopamine hit and you don't have to spend hundreds for a deck like the paper version. You can also craft cards to complete your decks. There are some issues such as the bad translations and UI. I haven't encountered any bugs or crashes. Ranked queue times kinda suck because the game is region locked. I think anyone that enjoys the paper version will enjoy the game. Right now it's a thumbs up from me, but if they remove region lock then it'll be two thumbs up.

Feb. 2025

Expensive, but worth it if you simply love Vanguard and want a play to play it digitally and on the go (pc handheld). My experience: 30+ hours and not a single crash. Ranked matches in 30 seconds or less. If you spend VP on only Festival 2024, you will have enough CP to build any deck you want every few fights. Bought it for both Switch and Steam to play with friends across formats. It's a little buggy, but nothing so far that detracts from an overall fun/positive experience. Pros: You can play Vanguard on a handheld. Vintage format! Ranked play. Cons: It's expensive, especially if you're purchasing for both Switch and Steam. It's several sets behind. Spectating isn't there (yet). Not cross platform. Max in-game FPS is 60, but if you use Lossless Scaling, you can frame gen to 240 FPS with no noticeable artifacts!

Feb. 2025

Buggy launch with some card effects & especially translations but overall a straight upgrade from Dear Days 1 in nearly every way. Massively more content with roughly 9 expansions further than DD1 (kind of counting Clash of Heroes since it wasn't complete in DD1) PLUS 5 vintage boosters & 2 extra boosters for vintage play. So in terms of pricing given how the first game was priced you're easily paying for what is effectively like 3 card expansions worth of content on top of what was available in DD1 + all DLC for the singular $69.99 price that the game's currently offered at. There's also more npcs to free fight, also you can free fight npcs in vintage, online is smooth, more cosmetics to earn and the only real "downgrades" I think is that when you expand a special card such as FFR or even the new mermaid text cards you get a high quality like 75% art picture instead of seeing the special border & other effects on the card, also we lost the button that lets you easily go back to your hand in a duel, I believe in DD1 it was pressing the "a" button. That said, the art when expanded does seem to be higher quality than we had in DD1 and I've noticed a lot of little things about some card arts that I hadn't noticed before so kind of neutral on this specific point. Deck building is massively improved, even if there's one thing that's a little odd, text search doesn't allow you to immediately change your query or filters whilst in text search, but the UI itself is so much more usable and it's so much easier to grab the cards you want for a deck, one little tip is that if you mouse over a card and press "2" it will go into ride deck instead of main deck so you don't have to switch from ride deck/main deck mode when adding cards to your deck, especially useful if you have an MMO mouse. Shop interface is also a lot more manageable divided by series & packs in a vertical scrolling format vs the old horizontal scroll that made you go one by one. Really just overall the UI of the game has seen a massive upgrade in many areas which make it a lot easier to find what you need without wasting much time. Also, currently there's a secret in the shop if you press "Q" and search the text "APPLEJUICE9590", it will unlock a deck & character. The card pool this time is only roughly 6 months behind and it looks like they'll continue with updates to keep it roughly 6 months behind, at least for now so it's in a much better place than DD1 was and hopefully they can continue to support it for longer than DD1 to keep interest high in this game being the "definitive" standard/DivineZ format game. Overall, return to best card game again, only problem with the simulator aspect is decks that have a lot of effects since they still have to go one by one with animation and pause time between each one which was a problem with a certain DD1 deck, but haven't seen anyone play that deck yet in DD2, doesn't seem like anything's changed on that front, though. Still far better value and a better gameplay experience than similar titles like Master Duel... On that note, unlike Master Duel you can actually play Vanguard and it's far more interactive/engaging with the back and forths, you could win with any of the 90+ ridelines in the game even if you have to struggle a bit giving a much better experience overall.

So far, a big improvement over DD1. Deckbuilding is much easier, the UI in general is nicer, and it has what I thought was a long dead practice in game: it carries over your data from DD1. So all the cards you unlocked as well as some resources carry over. The $70 price tag is going to be too much for most people. If Bushi were smart, they would have sold this for like $40 max. to encourage people to actually give it a shot. Putting this at $70 is going to draw comparisons from other $70 games. This is closer to Legacy of the Duelist than Master Duel so keep that in mind as well. Don't go in expecting this to be similar or the same to Master Duel. This has much more content than MD and we'll see if it's enough to warrant the price tag. I'm just glad there is a system to play Vanguard online with friends that isn't a sketchy Russian-made executable.

Jan. 2025

This game definitely has a ton more cards compared to the last game, just from browsing through the in-game shop. The price is steep yes, but since a real life deck can easily cost double the price of this game, I feel like it's not so bad for multiple hours of entertainment. One thing that really stands out to me that I hope they fix is the English translation. Not even ten minutes into the game, and the tutorial has misspelled the word Vanguard... it's in the title of the game. A lot of the dialogue also has weird grammar, it feels like they ran the Japanese script through a translator or AI or something. There is also a few places in the game where I can't tell if it was done stylistically or if there is a really poor frame rate/ poorly animated assets. Otherwise, pretty decent second game so far.
