Yu-gi-oh Duel Links Review

Yu-gi-oh Duel Links is a game released for Android and IOS designed to take the game of Duel Monsters and shrink it down for faster and easier games.  You take control of the yugioh characters and build decks and strategies to take on other characters and players in real time duels.  As you progress more characters and cards become available.  You can play as Yugi, Joey, Yami Yugi, Yami Bakura, Pegasus, the Paradox brothers, and several more.  Each character has a special card with a special animation when they summon it.  For example Joey summoning the Red Eyes Black Dragon causes a cut scene showing the dragon flying into battle.  It's touches like these that make this game really special.  The in-app purchases are not forced and you can play the game completely free from start to finish.  I've found this is a game worth spending a little money on because of all of the love the devs put into the game.  This game has excellent voice acting from the original voice actors giving it more personality than most mobile games.  Graphically and technically it's flawless and feels like it could be a console game.  

The Good

  • Great music
  • Beautiful console quality graphics
  • Fast fun gameplay
  • In app purchases don't feel forced
  • Tons of playable characters and cards
  • The duel monsters formula slimmed down for this feels great!
The bad
  • The gold system is kind of weird
  • Limits on battles against the AI are unnecessary
  • Gate Key system is confusing and overly complicated
  • Certain cards are limited on how many you can get example only 2 Red Eyes Black Dragons and Blue Eyes white dragons
9.5

This game is nearly perfect and is the most addictive mobile experience I've ever played.   Just a few minor issues prevent it from getting a perfect score.  All in all a worth while game to have on your device.  The slimmed down gameplay is fun and addictive and tons of customization options to build your perfect deck is a lot of fun.
