    An absolute dream for fans. This is the exact game we’ve been waiting for since the first disappointing PC release over a decade ago.

    A Yu-Gi-Oh title that allows you to play with most decks before the travesty of link summoning was introduced.

    Yu-gi-oh Legacy of the duelist is by far the best (offcial) yugioh game iv played its perfect for beginners and people who played it as a kidYu-gi-oh Legacy of the duelist is by far the best (offcial) yugioh game iv played its perfect for beginners and people who played it as a kid and want to learn how the new mechanics work.

    Story: this is gonna be a weird game to grade in my usual way at least for story because this game has 5 different stories and they follow the same plots as the shows witch is fine the shows are entertaining in their own right i already know the characters for the most part. but how well is it put into the game . the cut scenes are super simple and i always skipped them but if you play the story decks you get the full experience as if you are Yugi or any of the other characters witch i loved. this game really pulls at youre nostalgia strings
    story: 8/10

    world building: again this is a weird one because yu-gi-oh kinda has 2 worlds and i dont just mean the shadow realm but the cards them selves have lore behind them , and i know its part of the real life card game and not just this video game BUT no one has enough money to buy every card ever and that makes this game the most accessible (offcial) way to immerse your self into yu-gi-oh and for that i think sets this game apart from any other yu-gi-oh media on top of playing as the protagonists from the shows its a good feeling
    world building: 8/10

    Graphics: graphics are simple and the animations when the iconic monsters come out of the cards are stiff , cut scenes look like a game boy advanced game, but all of the cards are rendered really well , of course the cards individual art is really well done
    graphics 7/10

    gameplay: the amount of cards in this game is astonishing and i think if they kept this game updated it would have aged better . and there certainly are places i would have improved , like when you have a trap every like 5 seconds it asks if you want to use it witch gets really annoying. the card game has a lot of strategy to it and there is no card that is completely useless despite how they may seem. collecting cards and building decks is a blast and you dont have to deal with the mess of real life cards every where its all just right there
    Gameplay: 9/10

    sound design: i shut off my sound for the most part . it was not awful just bland , no voice acting in the cut scenes (witch was probs a good decision) but the music wasn't terrible i just preferred to play my own music over while playing this game. the sound effects were OK not repetitive enough to be annoying but not super pleasing to the ears but they did their jobs witch i guess in a game like this is best you can hopefor
    sound design: 6/10

    To pre-face this review: yes, this game is worth the ~20 USD paid for it or however cheap you get it on sale from Steam. Legacy of the DuelistTo pre-face this review: yes, this game is worth the ~20 USD paid for it or however cheap you get it on sale from Steam. Legacy of the Duelist probably provides the most straight forward presentation for Yu-Gi-Oh gameplay over the last couple of years. It does away with the world exploring and NPCs and all the other stuff and just gives you duels after duels after duels. You can duel against characters through pre-set story decks as you kind of live through the anime series or you can make your own deck.

    Maybe it's just my own expectations but what Legacy of the Duelist lacks most is any sort of sense of progression. You can easily make a deck that will beat out most of the 'story' missions from your first time picking it up. Usually you will want to use the story decks as given because they provide a bit of a challenge but then you start playing as other characters and have no control over what is in your deck. It just doesn't feel like there is any sort of core game, just a bunch of random duels. You buy cards but they are in these character-specific packs where you easily get hundreds just thrown at you in maybe your first couple hours of play.

    If you want some easy-going dueling against NPCs, this is a solid game to play. Otherwise, it feels like a very robust extra mode to some bigger game that never existed.    … Expand
