I wanted to relive some of the old Yu-Gi-Oh days, but this one was TOO old. There's absolutely no real synergy you can make between decks with such a limited pool. A huge amount of the packs are full of weak vanilla monsters. The game is just stack your deck full of heavy hitters and OP trap and spell cards.
There's no story to follow, you just end up dueling the same opponents over and over. Granted they do have little unlockables that happen when you reach certain milestones, but overall it's way too repetitive.
The mechanics of the actual duels also feel unpolished. For example in the battle phase "attack" isn't the default option, meaning you need an extra cursor move or two for every attack. For spells or traps that can be activated at any time you'll get a prompt for every damn action, and you can't do something like hold down B to stop it showing up. It's just full of these little things that add up and make the game a bit of a slog. Other oddities in the duel mechanics being stuff like when you use a card like tribute to the doomed, which destroys any monsters on the field, the select cursor defaults to your own monster instead of the opponents for some crazy reason.
There's no pack list anywhere in-game, so you'll never know how many cards you've already got in a pack.
Oh and I hope you don't plan on editing your deck much. The filter options in this game are abysmal.
Just meh. A few duels are nice to get the feeling of old school YGO back, but playing the game longterm feels way too much like a waste of time. I gave it some extra points for the neat way the game adds extra stuff at times to give some level of progression, but there's too many flaws to justify giving it any higher.
I managed to get the to the end of the Marik pyramid, which I guess counts as the "story" in the game. I know there's a bunch of extra stuff, like unlockable characters, but there's no way I'm wasting more time on this.
