    Pré-script.
    If you want a decent, fair, tactical and with a campaign, daily duel quests, draft and a few more game modes, go and try "MABINOGI DUEL". This is the CCG game i'm playing right now and it doesn't have the RIDICULOUS after duel rewards that YUGIOH does.

    After a good start YUGIOH Duel Links becomes quickly boring.

    The lack of decent events, game modes (quests, daily duels, draft, sealed, main campaign...) and the RIDICULOUS rewards for completing quests (i.e. 10 coins for completing ALL weekly quests, when a pack of 3 cards costs you 50 coins???) makes me wanna quit this game and get back to my old PSP to play YUGIOH.

    This game could be great, but by now it's not... What is the motivation for dueling? To get keys for more dueling, (against Legendary Duelists)? REALLY? (Sometimes you get a GOLDEN chest with an AMAZING 1 COIN, REALLY??? Is this a JOKE??? or a crappy repeated card that you already have a dozen...

    You should make a game like the ones in PSP with some sort of quests and tournaments and not the crap events you have by now in this game.

    This game is only in the beggining and there is still a lot they can do here, but, i think it's gonna happen like Pokemon Go and after the initial wave, most people start quiting it and only pure "blind" fans keep playing it.

    For now i'm deleting this game and charging my PSP to play a decent YUGIOH game or playing the recent cool game i've discovered: MABINOGI DUEL where you don't feel exploited and have fair rewards by playing it.

    I don't mind paying in a game and unfortunately i've already spent 12 euros on YUGIOH LINKS, but that's the last coin you'll see from me. Like i said before, 1 gold coin in a GOLDEN chest and 10 gold coins from cleaning all WEEKLY (not daily) quests. While you pay 50 coins, for usually, 3 REPEATED cards is worst than a BAD JOKE...

    At least in MTG Duels after you have 3 copies of a certain card you won't get that card anymore. Here you get more and more and more of the same cards.

    This game doesn't really deserve a zero score, but until you make changes in some departments in this game, for me this game scores a zero because it doesn't deserve to be in my iPad.

    Maybe someday (after you make the necessary changes) i'll install it again and change my score but until then:

    ZERO is what you'll get!!!    … Expand

    From the moment the download started I knew that this game was actually a piece of garbage. First of all it stopped the download 4 or 5 times which is bogus because my download speed is in the 25-30 range (I checked to make sure).
    Once the game finally downloaded, I chose my character and started that amazing duel where we summon vanillas and I beat my opponent down; riveting game-play as    From the moment the download started I knew that this game was actually a piece of garbage.

    Once the game finally downloaded, I chose my character and started that amazing duel where we summon vanillas and I beat my opponent down; riveting game-play as always Ko-money.
    To be completely honest, I stopped the game after that. Basically I came to write a review because this game is absolute trash compared to dueling network, the site they shut down when they dropped this app to eliminate competition. I want anyone looking for reviews to know that dueling book is a way to play yugioh online with access to all the cards    … Expand

    I just i cant recommend this game at all its the purest form of greed there is. Komoney just sees you as their little paypig or cashcow and if you don't your often nothing to them. Even if you manage to get a good deck no matter if it's with your hard earned cash or with your long farmed gems next month this deck is brought back to nothingness with lots of card bans or new OP (overpricedI just i cant recommend this game at all its the purest form of greed there is. Komoney just sees you as their little paypig or cashcow and if you don't your often nothing to them. Even if you manage to get a good deck no matter if it's with your hard earned cash or with your long farmed gems next month this deck is brought back to nothingness with lots of card bans or new OP (overpriced and overpay'd) decks that are new and from new boxes. New boxes that cost you hundreds of dollars each month if you want to keep playing good decks. Most of this money spent goes to cards without much vallue cards that you will get 9 too 20+ from. This game is borderline toxic gambling/gacha and its really sickening. It prays upon its fanbase like games like diablo immortal stay far away from it. Your current deck might be really good and fun but just wait next month you can't use that same good deck because of all the card restrictions, while the newest strongest 300 too 500 dollar deck will probably even be better then your current deck at its peak. You might realise very soon that all those hundreds of dollars spent felt like as if you set it all a flame.

    Just really sad and disgusting how games more and more start to pray upon people and resamble gambling addiction or drug addictions and konami you should be ashamed treating people like this.    … Expand

    The game has many repeated events and a little variety of content besides bugs in the KC cup that were never fixed and bugs of not finding a match in the ranking

    Duel Links is a simplified yet deep enough version of the trading card game we all know and love.

    Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links might lack some of the depth of the original, but it’s still a pretty good mobile conversion. By cutting certain elements down, you’ll be able to get more accomplished than you would have before.

    Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links is not only a great homage to the series but also a good starting point for the gamers who don't already know its mechanics.
