### 3/5 — Mise à jour

*2026-08-23, version 10.11.0*

Mise à jour trop longue à télécharger!!

### 1/5 — Superheavy Samurai does not work as intended!

*2026-08-22, version 10.11.0*

Spent 30,000 gems making a superheavy samurai deck. The in-game auto-duel feature places them all in attack position despite being able to attack while in defense position. Support told me they will not fix it, nor refund some of my gems. Billion dollar company by the way! lol

### 4/5 — Please komoney

*2026-08-19, version 10.10.0*

It is 2026 and we still don’t have 3 copy’s of toy vender. Stay strong fluffal bros

### 1/5 — Dragoon spam

*2026-08-19, version 10.10.0*

I promise PVP is no fun no more no creativity just players spamming the same cards over and over. Especially Red eyes Dark dragoon!! The card is literally too overpowered everytime u try anything its going to negate or destroy your monster the card is not even real just something the creators decided to add and its game killing definitely uninstalling

### 1/5 — Rating

*2026-08-17, version 10.10.0*

Plese make this game playable in regions like vietnam. If you about hacking, then your game design is simply poor.

### 5/5 — Nice and relaxing game

*2026-08-13, version 10.10.0*

Pretty good game nice and relaxing except they put cards does not in the original show. They have effects they make you wanna quit the game

### 2/5 — Acceptably Mediocre

*2026-08-11, version 10.10.0*

A fun shadow of real Yugioh that lets you play the entire expanded series with ever-growing content & card pools.  There are 2 permanent modes with rotating limited modes.  Progression is sluggish, card acquisition is frustrating at best & PVP is a nightmare rife with rampant cheating, harsh time limits, intentional power creep & broken, game-warping “duelist skills” that violate the fundamentals of basic design & play.  PVE is tedious & each update breaks the autoplay’s AI in increasingly worse ways.  It’s a far cry from perfect, but moderately better than modern paper.

### 2/5 — No ban list control

*2026-08-09, version 10.10.0*

Apparently Konami doesn’t want to follow their own ban list and let red-eyes dark dragoon players ONCE AGAIN make yugioh no fun in PvP  so Konami FOLLOW YOUR BAN LIST! Or go to the shadow realm!

### 4/5 — Plz add Rage Yuya Sasaki

*2026-08-07, version 10.10.0*

Love the game, but I can’t stand the bases for rush duels. I do wish raging Yuya would be a playable character or skill. Also red eyes dragoon is way too powerful for this game. Other than those thoughts love the game

### 5/5 — Duel links is the best

*2026-08-06, version 10.10.0*

Awesome fun game
