Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist : Link Evolution

its fun but oh my god having to say "no" to the game asking me if i want to use an effect every second of a duel makes me want to rip my hair out

Ohhh, I love this game. FINALLY found a 1-player game, with a MASSIVE amount of playable cards, that is NOT a roguelike deckbuilder. You don't have to constantly start from scratch! The main issue with this game is at the very beginning, it's extremely difficult to understand how cards group together, and how to build an effective deck. My advice.... just pick ONE species type (insect, machine, plant, rock, fiend, harpie, etc) and start putting just that 1 species type into a deck.

Dude. Modern Yugioh is dog water.

I love this game so much. Granted, you will have to duel a lot to get enough DP for all the cards you want, but I'd rather deal with that than use real money for microtransactions. (looking at you Master Duel)

9/10 Great game! This is the best Yu-Gi-Oh! single-player game you can play offline without worrying that Konami will shut down the servers. Even though Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links and Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel are the games people tend to prefer, it’s important to remember that those games require a constant internet connection. Otherwise, it would end up like Yu-Gi-Oh! Cross Duel. It’s great that you can relive the story modes from various Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series, but the story mode in Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS is completely missing, which is confusing but understandable, since the anime was still airing when this game was released on March 24, 2020. This is the definitive edition you should get if you’re not sure whether to buy this game or Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist (which is on sale for 5 euros + all the DLCs; Link Evolution costs only 10 euros and includes all DLCs). The gameplay is good, but the difficulty level is absurd. Especially the story decks from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and later are garbage. You can beat Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal without any trouble, but you’ll have a very hard time with the others. I quit a few months ago too, but then I decided to pull a pro player’s move: I built an Exodia deck. My homies tried to stop me, but I had no other choice. Especially when you lose 20 times in a row. Now, when your opponent summons one monster after another, activate Maxx “C,” grab a few cards, and collect all 5 pieces of Exodia. AND THEN DESTROY YOUR OPPONENT!!! If you want to play this game without Exodia… well… good luck. It’s going to take a long time. Overall and a question for Konami: Anyway, I’m glad this game exists. And I’m glad I played through it. I think I’ll leave Exodia alone for now. He deserves a break. Now I have a question for you, Konami (and I have no idea where to ask it): Could you please release your games on GOG as well? It would be great to preserve these wonderful games and the collection.

食之无味弃之可惜的典型，2020年的游戏王买断制单机，做的还不如十几年前psp上的游戏王。第一，都2020年了，还有游戏没有简体中文，甚至繁中都没有。第二，ui，过场都简陋到不能再简陋，说是过历代游戏王动画剧情，却全程都没有配音。第三，抽卡的时候完全不知道自己抽的卡包里有什么卡，全靠猜。第四，抽卡的过程不能跳过，必须得等动画过完，我寻思跳过功能十几年前就实现了吧，就非要浪费我时间呗？第四，剧情卡组极其卡手，早期游戏王牌效低全是斧王对砍，导致剧情卡组里废件极其的多，暗游戏的卡组黑魔术少女和黑魔法师居然全部下满，他的卡组里起码一半都是废件，而人机的卡组明明也有很多废件，卡手的情况却特别少，用自己组的卡组更是无聊透顶，堪比暴打原始人，一路平推就能过完。第五，作为游戏王居然没有时点选择！如果你在上一个回合盖放了陷阱卡，恭喜你，你会从下回合的准备阶段开始，系统会不断提示你要不要发动陷阱卡，对手盖放一张陷阱卡，问你发不发动，对手通招一个怪兽，问你发不发动，对手要进战阶了，问你发不发动，对手要攻击宣言了，问你发不发动，开始伤害步骤了，问你发不发动，开始计算伤害了，问你发不发动…好在可以通过一直按住鼠标右键来跳过时点提醒，可是这样也很容易不小心跳过一些别的卡的很重要的发动时点 科乐美从来都没有变过，如果你不是游戏王深度粉丝，切勿入坑！

Feels cheap and like the bare minimum for some reason. The CPU is really dumb. What makes this review positive is you can (could) get this game for 5 dollars and sort of learn modern YuGiOh or get into the card game at your own pace without feeling overwhelmed since you can select between generations to play. So if you're a Duel Monsters kind of guy (you like YuGiOh before it got "complicated) then you have alot of choices from Duelist Kingdom to Duel City to uh um idk man. If you were okay at the game until synchros dropped then start with GX. If you played until XYZ and ended up hating YuGiOh because of it then skip to pendulums. This is an okay cheap YuGiOh tutorial game but it ain't great for much else unless you're expecting to duel against friends on multiplayer. I like building meme decks around my lil big homie Beaver Warrior.

The tutorials are amazing, they genuinely helped me understand how to play yugioh better than i did, I learned every type of summon even the trickier ones from when i got out of yugioh like the xyz summons etc. the single player mode has a lot of content. The bad outweighs the good, without a crafting system good luck getting the cards you need to complete your deck. but my main issue is just what yugioh has become in a modern day format. every game like legacy and duel links and master duel suffers from power creep and the mass amount of overpowered cards added over the years. online feels unplayable, even after going through every tutorial and understanding how the game works. every strategy is ridiculous, people chain enough effects to summon four monsters in one turn and unless youre running a meta deck theres zero way to keep up. modern yugioh in general is just kinda :/ , I want a yugioh game thats just consistantly fun online. hearthstone has a mode where you can only use cards released in the last 2 years and i think if they followed suit they could trigger that hard reset that would really help with the power creep. overall I have a lot of fun on solo using my own decks so that alone probably makes the game worth it. out of master duel, duel links and this i tend to gravitate to this one. Game good, modern card game kinda bad

Your opponent drew a card. Activate the effect of a card? Y/N It is the draw phase. Activate the effect of a card? Y/N It is the standby phase. Activate the effect of a card? Y/N It is main phase 1. Activate the effect of a card? Y/N It is the battle phase. Activate the effect of a card? Y/N It is main phase 2. Activate the effect of a card? Y/N It is the end phase. Activate the effect of a card? Y/N You're getting sick of seeing this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ message and leaving a negative review on Steam only because of it. Activate the effect of a card? Y/N

I just play for the story mode, and is good so far
