What will probably be the last wallet friendly yugioh related product from konami, this is an easy recommend for anyone that just wants to play the game they grew up with and not go broke doing it. Being more specific this game isn't the greatest yugioh game ever released and it's not even the best duel emulator. the top game is debatable but the best, most recent, and probably final emulator would be master duel. Thing is it'll probably empty your wallet if you play multiple decks/good cards and unless you can make it a business expense or are extremely wealthy I can't really recommend it, but I'm getting off track. pros and cons are as follows pros: affordable (especially on sale and no currency conversions or micros either), decent assortment of single player content, large card pool for the time. cons: out of date ban list and card pool, pretty much dead online, fairly bare bones outside of the aforementioned single player content (though there are a couple mods to squeeze a bit more from it). With master duel seemingly here to stay this is probably the final Yugioh game I can recommend if you wanna play more than one deck and not have a 3+ figure price attached at the end of the year. it's not anything super special but it is decent for the price tag and like I said if you just wanna relive some nostalgia and play some cards it'll get the job done. Also small note there is a weird issue with resolution where you need to hit alt enter to unlock the full resolution list

If you're looking to play this game, it's more than likely you're disappointed by the lack of campaign or single player content in Master Duel. With that said, if you want a modern-ish yugioh game(only came out 4 years ago so it's new enough), are super casual like myself, don't care about playing online and just want to play against the cpu, this is the game for you. If you want to play against the cpu: Legacy of the Duelist If you want to play online: Master Duel

If you want to learn "modern" yugioh, this is the game for you. you won't be pressured by the players who combo like crazy, but you will be playing at your own pace. Now, why do I say modern? is because even though we are still using the same staples that we do in the current meta (ash blossom, impermanence, etc...) you are not going to see the newest archetypes that konami is promoting atm.

If you're a casual Yu-Gi-Oh! player like me, you'll love this game. It's the best single player Yu-Gi-Oh! I've played so far (i really just go by the library of cards available and this one hits pretty much every button for me). I've tried Master Duel but I don't feel like sweating in every match in order to get some decks built, just isn't for me really. The visuals. OH the visuals. I usually just deal with it in a lot of games, but these are minimal and disappointing. There's less engagement with the visuals than a GBA YGO game. The summon animations are too long, unskippable, and sometimes looked like they were pushed out halfway through making them (I know Blue-Eyes White Dragon doesn't have hair or much of a varied color palette but they somehow managed to make him look naked and bald. Impressive). Speaking of long animations (looking at you, Salamangreat Heatleo), why isn't there an adjustable speed setting for matches? Or a skip option for the animations? I've been finding myself using CE and speed-hacking to 2x-3x speed just to get the animations and duels over with faster. Going back to 1x speed feels like I'm on speed. I wish they'd slowly add more cards to this honestly and keep it mostly up to date but there's still plenty here to keep me occupied for a long time I'm sure. Also, if you like building a bunch of decks, pay attention to how many custom slots you have left for your decks cause I ran out QUICK. Needs at least 30 times more slots for me. The UI for making decks is...50/50. While I appreciate the detailed filters, the UI in general in this game is wonky af. Not to mention the infamous "Activate the effect of a card?" that pops up every time you or your opponent has a coherent thought or some dead skin cells fall off. Oh and the default hotkeys are trash IMO. The Break/Pause button it wants you to use for stuff is used way too much in the deckbuilding process and its the most annoying part of making decks. BTW this game goes up to about 2020 in terms of card availability iirc, I could be wrong. Keep that in mind as well when looking up deck builds. Fights are pretty varied in terms of difficulty like with the other YGO games I've played, some opponents are cake (opening campaign fights in DM and GX) and the sweatiest for me are easily the duels that introduce the Link Monster system. I never got around to really liking the Link System even though i've figured out some of it. Overall, I still love this game even though it feels 80% finished. My rating for this game is an 8/10, but if the visuals, animations and UI were polished and fixed before release, this would easily be a 9.5/10 for me. TL;DR UI = Makes my teeth itch Animations = Makes me squint in fear Deckbuilding = Cured my Pica and Eczema Fights = Varied and entertaining, like the Spice Girls. Overall = Good Enough, like IHOP

Campaign is very entertaining and not like modern Yu-Gi-Oh. Would definitely recommend for Boomer Yu-Gi-Oh fans like me who grew up with original Yu-Gi-Oh.
