Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist : Link Evolution

Konami has this ♥♥♥♥ definition for fun: duplicate cards in packs. Like WTF is wrong with the brains of the devs and people who designed this game? Do they think it is fun when people pull useless duplicates from a super deep card pool? Do they think it is fun for people to play with unoptimized decks for an extended period of time until they grind out a collection? Even though this is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ paid game? There needs to be a cheat where people can just unlock all the cards at once. I don't mind earning my cards, I just hate duplicates. It is a mindless design tactic used to extend the play time of the game. You are forced to grind again and again in hopes of unlocking the cards you need. And guess what? The previous title had the same problem, but noooo, the leaders working at Konami is too ♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the brains to fix this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mechanic to make the game more enjoyable for the players. But it is Yugioh though, and it has some dope animations. I have to give it a thumbs up just because of this. But I'd give an overall rating of 5 out of 10 for this game.

The tutorials are amazing, they genuinely helped me understand how to play yugioh better than i did, I learned every type of summon even the trickier ones from when i got out of yugioh like the xyz summons etc. the single player mode has a lot of content. The bad outweighs the good, without a crafting system good luck getting the cards you need to complete your deck. but my main issue is just what yugioh has become in a modern day format. every game like legacy and duel links and master duel suffers from power creep and the mass amount of overpowered cards added over the years. online feels unplayable, even after going through every tutorial and understanding how the game works. every strategy is ridiculous, people chain enough effects to summon four monsters in one turn and unless youre running a meta deck theres zero way to keep up. modern yugioh in general is just kinda :/ , I want a yugioh game thats just consistantly fun online. hearthstone has a mode where you can only use cards released in the last 2 years and i think if they followed suit they could trigger that hard reset that would really help with the power creep. overall I have a lot of fun on solo using my own decks so that alone probably makes the game worth it. out of master duel, duel links and this i tend to gravitate to this one. Game good, modern card game kinda bad

Feels cheap and like the bare minimum for some reason. The CPU is really dumb. What makes this review positive is you can (could) get this game for 5 dollars and sort of learn modern YuGiOh or get into the card game at your own pace without feeling overwhelmed since you can select between generations to play. So if you're a Duel Monsters kind of guy (you like YuGiOh before it got "complicated) then you have alot of choices from Duelist Kingdom to Duel City to uh um idk man. If you were okay at the game until synchros dropped then start with GX. If you played until XYZ and ended up hating YuGiOh because of it then skip to pendulums. This is an okay cheap YuGiOh tutorial game but it ain't great for much else unless you're expecting to duel against friends on multiplayer. I like building meme decks around my lil big homie Beaver Warrior.

Scratches the yugioh itch. 10 year old me would've been stoked to have this many deckbuilding possibilities. The prompts can be a bit annoying to have to click through but I guess that's unavoidable (didn't realise there were so many phases in one turn until playing this lol)

Incredible game. Really allows you to get the full experience of the different YuGiOh eras without having to deal with other players. Unfortunately, there will never be another YuGiOh game like this since Konami has mastered predatory game marketing with MasterDuel.
