Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of The Duelist Nintendo Switch Game [Code in A Box]

A grea Yu-Gi-Oh game. I love how the campaign is split among the different TV series for each generation so you can naturally ramp up your knowledge. I haven't played Yu-Gi-Oh since GX so it's nice to get to grips with new cards as you progress.Unfortunately I have some issues running the game at 4K (I can't select the option.) And you can't cancel some actions of you accidentally select one, such as when you activate a card effect which might cause you to lose a game.

An amazing Yugioh game ruined by constant crashes.

The game itself is excellent. The structure of the campaign and the duelist challenges is perfect along with the packs and duelist challenges being how you get the cards you want while filtering out thousands of what you don't.However this game crashes way too often and only when you're in the middle of the game. You invest your time into a game and you're about to set yourself up for a win only to have it crash and make it all worth nothing. It's this lack of stability that ultimately ruins the play experience especially with how frequent it happens. For me it's an average of about 4-5 crashes a day on the low end. I hope they'll update more stability into this game, but to my understanding this problem existed before they updated more cards into the game and the ... MoreThe game itself is excellent.

I can't recommend a game that'll constantly stop abruptly on someone; that's not how games are supposed to be made.

Excellent modern Yu-Gi-Oh game!

As a former longtime player of the physical card game, I found this to be a good reintroduction to gameplay mechanics with a lot of content available. The story mode lets you play a wide variety of interesting strategies based on characters from all across the show. After playing through a few story mode duels, you get to play against "serious" "hard-mode" themed decks. Although the AI doesn't always play optimally, it's fun to build a deck and test pilot against other strategies. If just playing with handmade decks isn't enough, you can play draft and sealed style with freshly opened packs. In addition to playing against AI, you can also duel online with real players. Seriously, there's a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh to do in this game.

Great game for nostalgic duelers

I bought the regular version of this game for X-Box and for PC because when it came out in 2015 and it is one of the best Yu-Gi-Oh games released. If you want an up to date Duel Monsters game that has story and just about every trading card available, then this is it.Now, the Nintendo Switch version has been released with the added Link Evolution DLC and it pretty much adds the the VRAINS saga to the game and all the Duel Monster cards included with it. The graphics have also been changed a little when you are dueling and it really breathes some life into the game if you have already bought the previous version and want a reason to pick this one up. The animations for when you summon a monster like Dark Magician have been redone and IT IS LITERALLY WORTH BUYING ... MoreI bought the regular version of this game for X-Box and for PC because when it came out in 2015 and it is one of the best Yu-Gi-Oh games released.

I love that they touched up some stuff to make it feel like you get a better game after 4 years.

Itches the Yu-Gi-Oh scratch but...

It's been awhile since I've played a yugioh console game (or the game at all for that matter) and this was enjoyable in some regards because I got to play with somewhat recent cards and learn some of the newer mechanics I'd missed out on over the years (Xyz, Pendulum, Links). It does have some interesting features like the ability to play using drafted decks or sealed packs. The promos that come with it are cool but I'm not really interested in Cyberse so probably won't use them.However the game has alot of cons and I don't even know where to start. I guess the forced master rule 4 would be the biggest complaint. I watched an interview with a developer and he stated the story mode duels were supposed to "feel like the anime" but with master rule 4 you can't have ... MoreIt's been awhile since I've played a yugioh console game (or the game at all for that matter) and this was enjoyable in some regards because I got to play with somewhat recent cards and learn some of the newer mechanics I'd missed out on over the years (Xyz, Pendulum, Links).

I guess the forced master rule 4 would be the biggest complaint. I watched an interview with a developer and he stated the story mode duels were supposed to "feel like the anime" but with master rule 4 you can't have more than one extra deck monster out without link monsters, this wouldn't be a problem if they tweaked the decks to fit in some links but they kept the decks the same as their original series to be "faithful" despite the fact you can't be faithful by, let's just say for example, fusion summoning several heros in GX as Jaden onto the field together. Yes you can use your own deck instead of the story decks to incorporate links but then it feels like, what's the point of trying to make it feel like the show then? Also the story mode skips some important duels, and the text before a story game can range from a single line to a chapter in text (all can be skipped though by pressing Y).The banlist for the game is a weird mashup of cards and I wouldn't really mind it if we could still play casually online or locally however we wanted and just left the banlist for ranked, sadly that doesn't seem to be the case. Last time I tried to play locally with a friend any decks I had with a card that was "banned" didn't show up as an option for me to use against him. You can use them in any amount against the computer but that just feels silly unless you're trying to grind rewards.Another complaint would be how they handle duplicates when opening packs, once you've opened at least 3 of a card it doesn't stop you from opening it again, this wouldn't be a problem if the game had a feature like how in some past yugioh games you could exchange extra copies for more in game currency to buy more packs. Instead you never actually have more than that third copy and eventually you could be opening hundreds of packs using thousands of in game currency just to open the last 50 something cards you need from a particular pack.The game has forced animations for some cards that can't be skipped and overall the gameplay just feels slow. Don't believe me? Just watch any video when a card excavates more than 2 cards from the top of the deck and you'll start to realize how slow everything is going.Overall I wouldn't say this game is terrible, it does have access to alot of cards that you can play while chilling on the couch or in bed with the switch in tablet mode. It's more faithful to the actual card game compared to Duel Links which is Speed Duel rules. But Link Evolution is lacking in a lot of ways that seem like really simple fixes that just weren't pursued.

Pretty cool game!

If you like yugioh you'll like this game. Especially if you like deck building. Theres thousands of cards across all the different generations of yugioh. I only ever knew the original so at first it was a little overwhelming but there are tutorials to explain the different rules for the newer generations and theres even a fun story mode for each one! Theres tons of content in this game. I'm sure you could get a lot of hours of enjoyment from it. Theres different modes like pick up matches and even online duels. Would definitely recommend this game

The yugioh game for switch

If you happen to grow up playing yugioh games and want an updated version of the gbc, gba, ds games, this is it. The gameplay has grown tremendously over the the decade and the information this game has can be overwhelming. It can be good to just pick up and duel, or you can play the “campaign” when you just duel ingame characters. An added difficulty to the game is using character decks instead of using your own broken deck once you made one. You can play online, so good luck with that if you’re just learning the game. The game does a decent job teaching you the added gameplay mechanics progressing thru it’s campaign. Great yugioh game, just wish soundtrack was larger, it was a one of the best features in all yugioh games of the past and that’s where I felt this ... MoreIf you happen to grow up playing yugioh games and want an updated version of the gbc, gba, ds games, this is it.

You won't be sending this game to the shadow realm

I'll put this in a pros and cons list for easy consuming:Pros:*A decent amount of content for the price (especially if it is on sale!)*Goes through almost all of the Yu-Gi-Oh plotline from the different seasons*Master Rule 5*The AI makes sense for the most part*Most likely includes your favorite cards*Very accessible to newcomers and explains the newer mechanics, if you are a returning playerCons:*No cutscenes with dialogue, be prepared to read*Online is not the best, expect to want to stay offline*Expect to play against AI with banned cards. That sometimes will make the experience less fun.Overall: I would recommend the purchase to any Yu-Gi-Oh fan with a Switch. (Also it comes with 3 exclusive cards!)

so close to perfection... but still fantastic.

The cards included are mediocre imo. I mean cmon. You wont be getting it for that. Besides that the game harkens back to those awesome gameboy advance days of yugioh. If youre a longtime or oldtime fan like me you will love it for that. But that is also its weakness. The game for what it is, is great but considering it was bumped up in price (i believe it came out 2015 with less cards and stuff and maybe at 20 bucks and digital only for ps4/xb1)... well they could have done better. Granted its not 60 dollars but even at 40 we deserve a tad more. It is set up almost EXACTLY like the gba games from back in the day. Meaning its card vs card no real animation of monsters and stuff. You get a 2 second video clip of only the most popular monsters used by notorious and ... MoreThe cards included are mediocre imo. I mean cmon. You wont be getting it for that.

You get a 2 second video clip of only the most popular monsters used by notorious and very high profile characters. Blue eyes for kaiba and DM for yugi as an example and maybe a couple others as i see a clip for DM girl too.Anyway they could have done a bit more here. Also getting the cards is a pain. At first its one thing to buy packs 1 by 1 but jeez it never gives the option to buy multiple so youre stuck 24 7 opening 1 by 1. Man oh man is it annoying and time consuming. Cards only save up to 3 copies of each in the trunk which thats all you normally can have when making 1 deck anyway, however you will keep getting the same cards in a deck so to obtain all cards in one or obtain x3 copies of each will take tons and tons of buys.. individually 1 by 1. I literally did it on the first pack maybe 100x and havent unlocked x3 copy of all cards for it yet. Which is really messed up.Also its cool to be able to duel in each generation and witness the stories but they are JUST like gba once again. Its a card for card game and you get a picture of a person and then text to read. No voice over. If not video, at least voice and stuff would have been super cool to see. But nooope.Also the dueling and the "mat" is set up just like any game you play today i guess? I was a fan until GX maybe a little bit into GX but that was it, so THAT is why i bought the game to try as up until now i played the gba variants for my yugioh fix.. anyway, its set up like today standards EVEN IN the first generation storyline. Meaning theres 2 upper spots for fusion and xyz summons and whatnot plus the 5 normal zones. Technically you can have 6 at one time it seems because of this and the AI once (later on) did just that before i used a Riegiki card. So thats odd and annoying to see. And some characters arent shown.. you got PaniK and Bones but you dont have the labyrinth twins you dont show the Duke devlin guy or fiendish 5 etc. So the stories are condensed it seems in a sense but they leave out these other key characters and awesome plots too so they can wrap up the story as fast as possible.Lastly, its still awesome and sort of.. worth 40 bucks, but they could have done a heck of a lot more and added to it to spice it up and be worth the 40 bucks. Within a month of release it was going on sale for 29.99, that says alot imo. I knocked another 5 off with BB rewards so my price was VERY fair to me that i paid.Hopefully the next installment is better and done way better from having the choice of animations of monsters to buying multiple packs of cards to just a better presentation. Some voices and stuff would be cool if not actual video segments. Also id say including perhaps a hidden game or two or all past gameboy and advance games in a "retro" mode would be suuuuper cool i swear. Im not saying DS games, but just the gameboy line. Also add a Fast Forward option for the normal game as well as a super FF option if this retro mode happened. And lastly add some video segments or showings. At the very least do it for when you beat a boss or for ending of each generation. Then again, a compilation like this may not happen again anyway.But thanks to konami and best buy for this game and purchase. I look forward to enjoying it as my main yugioh fix from now on.. thanks again
