It's just like every MTG videogame ever but with Yugioh cards, it's still a good formula so I think it's a good game that lacks a lot of originality. They even kept all the bad things, like making it obvious when you are playing any kind of counter card because the game just STOPS and waits for you to respond on every action, even if you are fast enough to click on CANCEL it keeps asking over and over again when you clearly don't want to use it, that's the one thing that actually bothers me, I don't care about the crappy music and mobile-based UI, or the serious lack of originality, it's just Yugioh. They do give you a shit ton of cards to build your own custom deck and there's some PvE adventures that are fun, even if the story is nonexistent outside of "oh, there's evil, duel it".
I wanted to build a boomer deck filled with the cards from the TV series because I'm a filthy casual and I don't know/care about synchro, pendulum and zxy summons and I never will, but I found myself buying like 100 packs (with in-game earned currency) and building decks just for the fun of it, even if it wasn't really that fun because every card is so unnecessarily specific and convoluted that there's no middle ground between perfection and trash.
I would've liked it more if they gave it a more "Yugioh feeling" instead of just reskinning the MTG formula. The game is free so I can't complain too much about development, but was it that hard to add the correct sound to the life point drops? To this day I haven't found a single Yugioh game that has the correct SFX, and that's really all I want; a Yugioh game that looks and sounds like the TV series. That's it.

The game it's good enough, no reason to hate it, it's really easy to start playing VS, you can duel your friends, the tutorials are bad but it's Yugioh, you just summon crap to sacrifice it and summon a bigger crap to sacrifice it and summon an even bigger crap, and this one has 4 paragraphs of text on it that do not matter at all, just hit and hope it's enough.
