A Yu-Gi-Oh GaaS that actually tries to stick close to what the proper card game is. A lot of aspects of it make it a bit daunting at first, like the sheer amount of cards and archetypes to choose from, the walls of text you have to read every turn or the crazy combos that can lead to otk when playing with others. Once you understand the fundamentals, get some staple cards and settle with a deck, as someone that never really played YGO before, the duels become a lot more enjoyable.

So far, the game seems quite generous, as you essentially can build one perfect deck with the resources you get at the start, while staying f2p of course. There are questions regarding the progression, and whether it will remain as rewarding in the long run though. Deck building is quite easy, and there are a lot of resources in game to help you with it, not to mention that the community itself has a lot to offer too.

Despite Ranked duels being the most prominent part of the game, Solo mode has received a decent amount of work too. You can try different structure decks there and learn about various archetypes and game mechanics. The tutorial themselves aren't that great, but the matches provide good practice and it's a nice way to test the fundamentals of an archetype usually. Last but not least, the music is surprisingly good.
