Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist Soul

released on Oct 15, 2002

Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist Soul is a Yu-Gi-Oh! video game for the Game Boy Advance. It is the international version of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 5 Expert 1. Gameplay is similar to standard dueling rules, except that the Side Deck allows less than 15 cards, and is more for convenience of getting to cards for your Deck than switching between duels, as CPU duels are single duels rather than matches (with some exceptions in events).

I have vague, but positive, memories of this one from my youth. I remember it being no frills, no fluff ---- just pure dueling & deckbuilding. And it nails that pretty darn well. It's convenient just whip out, play a round or two on a bus ride or whatever, then save some more for later. Great structure for a handheld game.

Não cheguei a terminar mas joguei muito. Esse é fácil 2 melhor jogo de yugioh já feito perdendo somente pro gx duel academy de também gba.

One of the first (if not the first) Yu-Gi-Oh! game to have the official card rules. Pretty simple since it's early 2000s Yu-Gi-Oh! and not the ridiculously broken modern version.

Game plays fine but it's so slow at going through actions. There are 24 opponents to choose from. Most of them cheat knowing the def of your face-down cards. Also, it feels like everyone has mirror force. The bright side is the password system is great. Just input the real card number and get it with no strings attached.

Overall pretty fun if you're fine with older cards. Just requires many duels to unlock everything.

Password system is amazing, love digging out my binder to add my cards in-game. But like most Yu-Gi-Oh games of the era, Eternal Duelist Soul is highly dependent on repetitive duels with the same handful of opponents over and over. If you're just here for the nostalgia and to get some duels in with the older card sets then it's a good candidate, but otherwise you're better off aiming for some duel monster games that are just a little bit more current.

Very simple early Yugioh game and you could input your real cards using the codes on them or whatever so it was easy to make a crazy busted deck. The soundtrack and nice pixel art are what make this game worth checking out though.
