Is it a good Yu-Gi-Oh! game? For the most part.
Is it a bad Yu-Gi-Oh! game? Partly.
The gameplay is just Yu-Gi-Oh! Finally, a game that doesn't simplify the rules.
We don't get cards through a card store where we're allowed to buy individual cards, but instead pick up booster packs at Yugi's grandpa's store, each with five random cards in them. As the game progresses, we keep unlocking new booster packs.
Hah yes. This reminds me directly of my childhood.
The duels look really good. On the touchscreen, we have our view of the field, our hand, graveyards, and decks.
On the top screen we also see the duel field. Summoned monsters are displayed as 2D sprites. A couple of the more popular monsters, for example Dark Magican and Kuriboh, even have 3D models when summoned.What bothers me a bit is that you don't have random no-name opponents, but you fight Yugi, Tea, Joey and the others very often. They have a few different decks, but after the tenth time it gets a bit boring.
The duelist search is not very intuitive. To find opponents, you have to search for them on the map on the touchscreen with a circle. If the circle turns green, someone is nearby. If it turns pink, you've almost found someone.
Unfortunately, most of the game consists of grinding, grinding and more grinding. The story progression is in bound to certain events, but not really. In order to trigger an event that advances us in the story, we have to reach a certain level and for that we have to have to duel.
If you like Yu-Gi-Oh! a lot, you'll probably be happy with such a long game.
I also had a few hours of fun with it, but after a good 11 hours I lost interest.
