    NOT for the faint of heart or Yu-Gi noobs. Konami made this one directly for its target audience and in doing so have created a fantasic and indepth RPG that will delight purveyors of the card game for many hours.

    It's easy enough to get into and fun enough to play for hours at a time, even when you aren't advancing the main story. Very nicely done.

    The RPG elements do add more to the title. I was starting to get tired of the same old card duel on the Game Boy Advance, now you can have a nice little story to go along with the duels.

    Better than the original. Too bad it’s not a huge leap over it. It’s still a mediocre card-based RPG, and there are a few annoying gameplay elements whose inclusion leaves me puzzled.

    For all the Yu-Gi-Oh fans out there, it is 10 out of 10, but unfortunately, not everybody is.

    It really doesn't offer much new or exciting to the series, more rehashing last year's game with a new storyline.

    The best part of Reshef of Destruciton is the three free trading cards that come with the game.

    To play through the main game needs a lot of grind since the deck capacity and available cards are strongly restricted while your opponents dont have any of those restrictions. Spending hours to fight yugi etc. countless times is a prerequisite to beat the main story.

    Instead of giving your opponents nice diverse decks in the postgame, they all have pretty much the same deck with the same cards since they all have monster reborn, swords of revealing light, change of heart, torrental tribute and harpie’s feather duster 3 x each while the player is only allowed to have one ot those cards and has handicaps all the time because the duelist level and the deck cost of those cards are astronomically high.

    Without Ra phoenix mode, slipher or obelisk there is almost no possibility to win since all your monster cards are stolen by the opponent, directly destroyed by traps or your traps are wiped out constantly in the hall of eternity. Also you cant attack for 9 rounds.

    It is possible to win using the god cards but this kills the complete enjoyment of building your own strategic deck. And to do so needs really a lot of time to get to those duelist levels and deck capacities.

    I can recommend the prequel The Sacred Cards but Reshef of destruction is really bad designed. It is not strategically hard but it is highly restrictive in options which requires a ton of time to invest.    … Expand
