### 5/5 — This is awesome

*2026-08-15, version 2.8.0*

This takes me right back to watching the og show as a kid

### 1/5 — Was good all the new cards are basically cheats

*2026-08-14, version 2.8.0*

This game was fun when it first came out but it’s not anymore. All this can is now is 20 min of waiting for the other guy to reuse the same card over and over till they destroy everything on yours

### 5/5 — Mutt

*2026-08-14, version 2.8.0*

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

### 1/5 — Trash game based on luck!

*2026-08-13, version 2.8.0*

Going first format coin toss is “50/50” but guaranteed with the bots you win 20-30% Leaving you at a disadvantage. Probably the worst game to be invested in. Dont even waste your money with the high prices for little regards. They know how to make a good game bad and They only care for money so probably shouldn’t spend. If only they cared to fix the problems. Fix the game bc it shows how little they care. Ratings dropping as they should be. And they add awful events with poor ban lists.

### 1/5 — Dj Lee

*2026-08-13, version 2.8.0*

Same thing no love but I only love the original version game not this update!

### 1/5 — Connectivity

*2026-08-12, version 2.8.0*

I always loose connection to the game server mid duel and it is soooooo frustrating

### 5/5 — h.e.l

*2026-08-12, version 2.8.0*

sooooooo good me and my siblings have been having a blast

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS GAME!!

*2026-08-11, version 2.8.0*

TOP5

### 1/5 — Need to fix the spam

*2026-08-11, version 2.8.0*

Spamming summons and basically who get to go first

### 1/5 — Rank system sucks!

*2026-08-10, version 2.8.0*

The rank system is pretty good when you’re going against real players, but when they make it where you go against a bot with a deck that full counters yours is just unfair and not fun.
