Anyway, the glaring issues that were present then are still present but at this point in time I’m gonna say that it doesn’t matter. This game has such a decent amount of production value from the opening cinematic to the in game models of most of the monsters and the music. However, there is nothing…and I mean nothing about this game that would make anyone want to play it or keep playing it. You level your monsters through a gacha system and then can only set five skills from the nineteen that the monster has? You can call it strategic all you want but it’s antiquated and poorly designed. Truly this game’s time and resources could’ve been used to make Master Duel or Duel Links better games instead of being wasted on this failed endeavor. A complete and utter shame. ### 3/5 — Why make a gacha? *2023-05-21* Man as a big fan this kinda disappointed me a lot. Some game mechanics where good but it wasn’t yugioh at all. Most monsters just had effects randomly thrown on them. A few had some good quality effects that came from the card game and that was good it just wasn’t enough of them. Should’ve been a turbo duel focused game. With a race track with 4 lanes instead of whatever this was supposed to be. (No offense) this didn’t feel like a Yu-gi-oh game it felt more like watching kaiba try to desperately create a random game where he could be yugi. But more importantly imagine switching lanes and cutting someone off and snagging a card they where aiming for. No, imagine someone is using a speed deck and is about to make their final lap and someone stops them with a trap card lol. Just an Idea but worth exploring if you wanna do something different from the traditional card game. Plus it’s already been introduced in many ways. Another idea would be to make a chess like game that functioned similar to dungeon dice monsters or just update dungeon dice monsters and make it a nice small scale mobile game. Anyways had fun enjoyed the game for what it was feel like it was givin up on too quickly and didn’t get the attention it deserved tbh. ### 5/5 — Please don’t shut down the game *2023-04-16* I’ve been playing the game recently and the game is incredibly fun, you really do need to think a few turns ahead in this game. It’s a shame that the game is getting shut down instead of fixing the negatives of the game. Like the fact that you need to pull duplicates of the cards to upgrade it but the pull rates are so low, something that can be easily fixed (for example, the candies in Pokémon masters ex that upgrade characters instead of pulling dupes). I hope Konami rethinks this and instead continue to support the game. ### 2/5 — A rip off *2023-03-11* I’ve been playing cross duel since it’s global release. I’m the past few months (January-March 2023) I haven’t gotten a single newly addition cards. The gacha is rigged. Like I save all the gems for a big pack opening and it doesn’t even matter. I still get the worst cards, no super rare no ultras. And I think it’s funny that my luck stopped as soon as I stopped putting money into the game. It’s like if you pay money you have better odds which is unfair and a negative experience overall. Konami I’ve always supported you but fix your game. It’s unbearable boring to constantly save and get nothing in return. I’ve wasted probably weeks of my life trying to get new cards and it simply won’t give me any. I’m shocked by the lack of inspiration this game needs ### 5/5 — Konami please ready *2023-02-09, version 1.6.1* I love this game. Make a better pity system, so you can make more money. Please make more online features/modes to play with friends outside of room duels. Such as a true ranked or casual tag team duel mode. I would like to see more ways to play with friends. So far it’s just room duels, and raid duels. Really fun game. ### 4/5 — Fun and unstable *2023-02-09, version 1.6.1* One of the better games I’ve enjoyed when the mobile game is stable. Most often though it is not stable and I am forced to reset the game. I’ve lost games because of the freezes many times over. More often if I do lose a game it is because of the freezes not because of loss of LP from another player. I gave four stars because I love the game, but have am so frustrated by the freezes. ### 4/5 — Review after playing a couple days *2023-02-04, version 1.6.0* I noticed how enjoyable this game was with the variety of game modes. One aspect of the game is what barley turns me away or at least step away from the game for a while, the fact that their is skill based matching is good but they need matching based on how many extra cards collected and stuff like that so I’m not going against people who have full buff slots when I have one slot. That’s the only downside to this game is how easy you can pay to win and stomp early game kids.(Me n my people) ### 2/5 — Has potential but the core concept of the game is just flawed. *2023-02-03, version 1.6.0* 4-person Battle Royale is just not a great idea. You think teaming in a 100-player game is bad? Wait until you see how bad it is in this game. People literally ask to team with others to ladder in the public chat. This game also has the slowest rounds imaginable. Monsters move at a snail’s pace and card abilities activate one at a time. Add to that we have to watch the animation for every single monster summoned. Who thought this was a good idea? It’s not all bad though. The game has several chat options including friend chat—which is sorely lacking in a lot of other multiplayer games so it’s nice to see they put in the time to implement that. The English translations are also pristine and I’ve yet to encounter a single bug(crashes not withstanding). Playing this game feels like such a chore most of the time especially when the rewards for winning are so terrible. 2/5 ### 5/5 — Best Game EVA! *2023-01-21, version 1.5.1* Man, Now I don’t need to beg my mom for any games now this is my go-to game. God tier Quality, Amazing Touches, Marvellous Amount of Monsters, And finally BEST TUTORIALS! This helped me learned the game quick and fast! The only downside is that u don’t get gems each Casual rank match u finish. The only Match u gain fast gems (in my opinion) Is Tag Duels And Challenge Duels. Great game tho! ### 5/5 — Favorite game! But…. *2023-01-03, version 1.5.0* *I think the Exodus might be bugged?* It worked I think only once for me where the count went up using normal monsters. I’ve tried summoning one and multiple at a time in different positions. Anyways, cool graphics and gameplay for an app. Does take a while to get good cards even spending money sometimes. I do recommend! ## Frequently asked questions about Yu ### What is Yu-Gi-Oh! CROSS DUEL? Yu-Gi-Oh! CROSS DUEL is a real-time card game that allows players to engage in 4-player battles.
