  • FIX ACCOUNT RETRIEVAL!!!!! To many OP cards, Faulty matchmaking system!

    I loved this game soooooooooo much! But when it came to switching phone and redownloading. The game fails to mention that you would lose EVERYTHING!!! It never mentions what you need to save your account and it’s info and what to do when your account disappears into thin air without explanation. As well as expecting players to remember their ID #’s as well as other useless info that you wouldn’t even think would be remotely important!!! I got so far and I was just getting better, but because of this stupid glitch it whatever, my experience has been totally ruined!!!!
    Also there are WAY to many cards in this game that have abilities that practically destroy whatever cards they want, I can’t tell you how many duels I’ve fought with people activating that ability and practically wiping out half of the field!!!
    Which leads me to my final complaint, even though it says you are in a specific rank, there are some people who obviously pay money to get the best cards. As I only get cards that are given to me and in packs and there are those who have set decks and are somehow in the bronze rank, ruing in the experience and not leaving to many good dueling experiences. I hope these things change one way or another and hopefully sooner rather than later!!!!!

  • Cheesy

    This game has no heart. PvP is ruled by people who load their decks with the same cards to the point on higher levels every match feels the same and can be won in the first 3 turns.
    This game would be a lot better if some of the cheesier cards that allow you to summon 3 or 4 monsters per turn were actually rare and not handed out to everyone. I want an actual duel not just watching somebody play half their deck in one turn and win.
    Also i dont understand the “shuffle” aspect. I noticed some of my best spell cards rarely get put in my hand while the same 3 cards will constantly be put in my hand. I once got to turn 30 by strategizing and utilizing my spell and trap cards, with the hope of being dealt my favorite magic card only to never see it in the 15 turns i had. Not just in those 15 turns but i played 15 straight PvPs and didnt see that card once. Theres no way these cards are being shuffled like they are supposed to be. I even rearranged my deck and see no improvements.
    Overall playing the computer on higher levels is fun but PvPs get monotonous when everybody’s playing the same way in order to get quick and cheesy wins in 3 turns. I want to actually duel like in the anime/game. Not just cheese summon cards to get all my best monsters in turn 2. Thats not how the game is played. Nobody is summoning their best monster in 2 turns in any episodes ive ever seen.

  • Fantastic Game, few buggy features

    So I’ve been a very big fan of Yu-Gi-Oh since I was a little child watching it on Saturday mornings on 4Kids.
    It’s great to see the mashup of all generations of the show displayed between all the characters with their different skills and different cards. My ONLY issue is with the new decklist feature that has recently been added. I continuously do the “tutorial” for the decklists and every time I close the app or go into the missions/stage tab, it makes me redo the tutorial again. If I’ve already done the tutorial and go into the missions/stage tab and it makes me redo it, it soft locks the game because I cannot favorite the deck list it asks because I’ve already done it prior. Which causes me to close the app and restart it. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Which I’m sure you can tell causes a lot of frustration and takes away from the enjoyment of the game. Other than this feature being buggy and not properly tracking, the game is fantastic and I’ve already gotten multiple people I know to download the game and play alongside me. Great game, just wish the buggy features were fixed faster. Thank you for producing and rekindling my greatest childhood memories!!!

  • Could've gotten 5 stars

    I've been playing for a long time. Though I rarely put effort into PvP since it'll just be a group of strong copied decks alongside my cell service goes out like twice per two weeks. The game is probably the best gacha game there has been. You get a lot of their currency called gems during events. It's usually easy to unlock characters, cept bastion and that one dude in dark side of dimensions. Just it feels like the level up mechanic to get new cards could be polished. You'd think you would already own the signer dragons. But no you have a skill that adds them to the deck. I get your running a business but that's they're signature card. It's like having to pay 40 bucks for a Pokemon game and then having to pay for Pikachu. Other issues would be that some archetypes like guardragon and DD aren't labeled an archetype in game, so you gotta search them. For DD that is really frustrating to search. It's weird to have an addition to an archetype added in the next box. It was hard and costly to get most of it the first time. It would be great if you could set up an archetype store. If you have all but one card of a set you can trade in some of the extra ones you already have for that final card. This would be a one time deal per archetype. It would be appreciated if you could buy some of the event cards in store. Mostly the unpopular ones.

  • NOT P2W!

    I have to say that this is a free to play licensed game done the RIGHT way, first off it doesn’t constantly spam your screen with ads and offers for stuff to buy like most F2P games which is a huge plus in a world where 90% of free games seem to do something of that sort every 2 minutes. There are TONS of cards with new ones being added all the time, constant events going which help give you freemium currency to a point where you never feel forced into spending money just to continue playing, honestly that is one of the main reasons I chose to spend money on a few extra packs just to help support the game, I really can’t think of anything bad about this game that’s worth saying, I don’t think it’s ever crashed on me even though I’m on a fossil of a phone and on the same subject the battery consumption is phenomenal, I can play for hours with it barely effecting my battery, which is a huge deal for me when my phone goes from 100% to 10% in 10 minutes for most games. If you’ve ever been a fan of the series then give this game a try, it’s a streamlined version of the original but it works soooo well, honestly the regular format would take too long for a bite sized app game like this

  • Only Play if You Have Excess Time/Money

    Overall, I had a fun experience with Yugioh Duel Links. The game features a great cast of characters/story arcs, and the online dueling opportunities are unrivaled. I left the app after some months for two main reasons, though. First, long campaigns with tight deadlines run the non-online experience. All of the aforementioned campaigns must be completed in-full as requisite if one wants to be competitive online/save money buying cards. As a young adult with responsibilities, it takes too much time investment. A non-deadline based, proper story mode would resolve this issue. Second, card boxes are put out quicker than fast fashion at Zara. Konami deserves money for their quality product, but the “pay-to-win” scale is tipped much too severely towards paying with this system. They either need to offer more in-game currency (gems), make pack prices cheaper, or release less card boxes. Beyond the problematic monetization structure, the incessant card boxes will only lead to “power creep”—eventually making the game pointless to play online. All-in-all, if you plan to play Yugioh Duel Links anything beyond a casual level: Beware that there will be significant time and monetary investments required.

  • Great Game, could use a few tweaks

    I recently got this game and quite enjoy it. It’s simple and easy to grasp but progresses at a rate to still be challenging. It’s not pay to play in any sense, as you’re supplied with enough in game currencies as you progress. My main issue is that for those accustomed to the physical card game, the app somewhat limits play styles and strategies. With only 3 monster and 3 spell/trap card zones, it’s difficult to use some cards to their full effectiveness. A key example of such is Junk Sychron from the 5D series, Junk Sychron can be extremely powerful when on the field with a few other 2* monsters, but this game limits that to at most 1 monster which often has to be a higher level monster just to keep from getting your life points wiped out, in which case Junk Synchron’s effect is useless. Perhaps a solution may be to have certain cards in a deck trigger a 5 card field in which they can be used more to their full effect in the campaign, while still keeping the 3 card field for PvP. All in all though, it’s still an excellent app and game and I will without a doubt continue to play.

  • Im cry

    Sorry for bad English. Yugio is an amazing game, a lot of opportunities, everything is very interesting. But I realy hate the new cards introduced, it introduced such an imbalance into the game: is it normal that I didn't have time to make a move, and the enemy has already summoned three monsters with an attack of 2800+ in attacking form? And these same cards are able to destroy your cards just effects. What are these samurai - they will destroy all your monsters, all your traps and magic cards. Plus to them Underground maps, Bushido, pyramids. But samurai stand out more than others. They don't need to try to summon a strong monster. And there's almost nothing you can do but watch. The higher the rating, the more such donaters-cancers. All stupidly copy this configuration. People can put themselves in a pack of 3 such strong cards, without the ability to oppose them something, no restrictions, no negative effects for them. And I ask myself, what am I doing with this game? I sit and watch this nightmare. You ruined the game. If possible , divide the game into three worlds as well. For example, I want to play without new cards from the third world. I will play with players with cards from the first two worlds, any to choose from. I love the game, but the lack of balance and strategy is annoying. Please do something about it, it discourages the desire to play.

  • PvP and vagabond problems

    The pvp system is so broken in this game, all the staple cards and key cards for every deck is UR or SR so it either takes a long time to get ur deck or u can get it immediately while paying money. Not to mention that the game almost never has any diversity in decks played. I see the same 3 decks every game depending on the current meta and it gets extremely boring and annoying while I’m trying to use and interesting and fun deck against a boring but OP meta deck that’s bland and plays the same combo every time. Special events are okay but I got the game later so I don’t have access to all the skills and characters which is irritating. People abuse masked tribute with subterrors and get free first turn banishes literally every game but if I want to use subterror or anything that good I get outclassed because I don’t have the skill. Also when I was on stage 6 and tries a vagabond challenge with a makeshift deck and this piece of garbage game makes me go against a tier 1 deck from a kid in king of games its not possible. I almost forgot to mention how dogsh*t the autoduel is, it’s like they want to lose every single time, always makes the wrong moves and always finds a way to lose against terrible decks. Overall this game is interesting and fun at first but gets boring quick because of the PvP issues.

  • Do not spend money

    If you like yugioh you can get enjoyment for a short period of time from this game, however SO NOT spend money on this game do not give konomi money. Here is what happens at high levels of play. Key cards are given values the more essential they are to decks the higher their value. The games algorithim will give you high levels of success at first especially at low rank levels however when you get to higher levels the game will match you with the current meta tier decks and the those high value cards will always be put at the bottom of your deck. This essentially will pretty much guarantee a loss. Psychology it is designed to make your deck seem powerful near unstoppable especially if it is competently built, then you will encounter more and more current tier decks enticing you to spend your hard earned money to buy those decks. Once you have bought them the algorithm goes back to work and gives you multiple wins then again you will encounter other meta level decks enticing you to buy those as well. This is a common tactic made by game companies like konomi, it’s especially seen in shooters and other competitive games and for some reason it’s legal. DO NOT SPEND MONEY HERE, play the game for the temporary enjoyment play with your friends and that’s it, the only way to be good is to spend thousands of dollars don’t fall for there scam.
