Only multiplayer game I consistently play. I'm brand new to Yugioh, and the single-player manages to break down the mechanics of a 20-year-old card game super well. I see people complain about XYZ and Pendulum, and at this point, it's your fault if you don't get it. A complaint I have is that ranked is the only way to get rewards, and that once you hit platinum, meta slaves become so common that playing non-meta deck archetypes feels like bashing your head into a wall. I also wish alternate game modes existed as a player coming from Magic the Gathering; give me something like commander or pauper. Otherwise, as a f2p it's very generous and a whole lot of fun.

I was so bad at this and getting owned so swiftly that it was actually starting to affect my mood. I can't win at Yu-Gi-Oh. Can't even get a single win. No matter how hard I try or study or practice my opponent has drawn every card necessary to summon 3 powerful Fuck You monsters to the field in a single turn. I don't understand. The training mode doesn't even come close to preparing me for this kind of Getting Owned.

I work a shitty job, am in enormous debt, I can't afford new tires or a new battery for my car, nothing works out in my favor, and I can't win at Yu-Gi-Oh. I remember when the Cleveland Browns didn't win a single game all year. I wonder how the QB, Deshone Kizer, felt during that stretch. You practice, you study, you do everything possible and yet a single win constantly eludes you. That was on a pretty grand stage, in front of millions. My torment is just in my bedroom while I watch Colorado Rockies baseball, hoping their perpetual losing and inability to play baseball with even the slightest bit of competency will give me perspective on how small my inability to win a Children's Card Game is. But it doesn't. I look at the Colorado Rockies and all I see is a mirror, it's like looking at the devil himself, mocking me for my near-constant bumbling and giving me a microcosm of my various financial woes in the form of a Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon being summoned to the field on the second turn just to own me.

If I were younger and still had dreams and aspirations I would probably suffer through the near constant losing just to get a glimpse at what winning a game of Yu-Gi-Oh might look like, but this shit is actually bumming me out. At least when I watch the Shitty Ass Fucking Worthless Colorado Rockies, we are divided by a screen and I am not Nolan Jones letting an easy fly-ball pop out of my glove. Actually BEING that hapless loser is too much for me to bear.

Still highly recommended as it is NOT League of Legends, though.

Já estava com saudades de jogar YuGiOh! da forma tradicional, diferente do modelo speed duel. Duel Links foi um jogo que me trouxe entreterimento por bastante tempo, mas eu não curtia muita a questão das skills, limitação das zonas, da falta de certas cartas e mecânicas e principalmente de ter muito P2W, muitas cartas tinha que comprar com dinheiro de verdade. Quando comecei a jogar o Duel Master bateu uma forte nostalgia de quando eu jogava na escola com meus amigos. Era disso que eu esperava, um jogo gratuito com as regras e mecânicas atualizadas. Poder jogar com cartas Pêndulos e Link. Sem dúvidas a Konami acertou legal nesse ponto.
