   Yu-Gi-Oh on a handheld. I could finish the review with that, but this package packs a stronger punch. The campaign contains hours upon hoursYu-Gi-Oh on a handheld. I could finish the review with that, but this package packs a stronger punch. The campaign contains hours upon hours of content, easily 100+ hours if you do all duels, duelist challenges and reverse duels(plays as the enemy). The campaign includes all Yu-Gi-Oh seasons, although the latest season only has 3 duels to be played. Since the trading card game changed a lot since the first iteration of Yu-Gi-Oh, Legacy of The Duelist: Link Evolution invites new and returning players to learn the new mechanics and rules that were introduced with Link Monsters. Or you could always stick the good old Blue-Eyes and Dark Magicians, with over 9000 cards to choose from, the choice is yours. Multiplayer is great if you want a real challenge and compete with the best and local battles to duel with your Switch buddy who is across the room, which is my personal favorite. Another interesting game mode like Battle Pack Sealed Play is a nice addition, which allows the player to buy a pack of around 45 cards themed around certain monsters(no micro-transactions, only game credit), and then it gives you 5 matches to play with the cards either online, offline or local. When you are done with the 5 matches, you get to keep the cards you bought, even if you lost. If you want a change of pace when gaming becomes stale, load up Konami’s latest entry in the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise, and watch time fly by.… Expand

While there's a plethora of content to play through- I was very excited to jump in and play through the original stories. The mechanics feel extremely well executed, and I had zero trouble figuring out how to play. After testing it out in docked mode, and handheld- it feels great no matter what your style of play is! While there's a game similar to this on PC (Duel Links), this game feels like it was meant for the Nintendo Switch. This is a must play!… Expand

   this is everything you loved about the original and much much more there are now 9000+ cards in the already massive game. however the oldthis is everything you loved about the original and much much more there are now 9000+ cards in the already massive game. however the old ruling is gone and i loved master rule 3 i think there should be a switch to change it. although it fixes some things like load times and the attacking animations being gone replaced with the summoning animations much like duel links. over all this game has much that separates it from the original but still maintains that original yugioh charm. definitely worth a buy.… Expand

   Still a great time though.

   The singleplayer is great, the online experience is tolerable, a good yugioh game that tries to tell the stories from the shows

   Garbage.
   The story campaign is unplayable.

   The story campaign is unplayable.
   All of the story decks are absolute trash, resulting in 100% of your losses coming from a brick hand instead of your own lack of skill. Meanwhile, your opponent's deck will always have actual synergy. Totally unfair, poor design, who on the dev team let their 6 year old build these story decks?
   Wins do not come from skill, but from pure raw luck, you just need to hope and pray you don't have a garbage opening hand full of high-level Monsters you can't even use.
   I know I could just use a deck I build myself, but the point of this game is to feel like I'm playing the anime, and I can't do that without decks themed around the characters I'm playing as. The game fails at it's "play through the anime" selling point. If I was gonna play a game where I build my own deck, I'd either just play the actual card game in real life, or I'd go play Tag Force.
   Oh, and not to mention sometimes the game crashes during a duel.
   When I got to the duel with Dartz, that's when I decided to call it quits and play a game with actual gameplay in it.
   Done with this.
   Sorry, Konami, but I only play good games.… Expand
