you typically play the “hero” character (Yami Yugi, Joey) and have the choice of using the their deck or one of your own. In the original series you start off with nearly all the major the Duelist Kingdom duels against Weevil, Yami Bakura, Seto Kaiba, Bandit Keith, Mai and Pegasus, etc.

Don’t ask me about the last four series as I know nothing about them… When GX came out, I enjoyed the Zane Truesdale duels as I found artwork as well as the synergies between the Cyber Dragon cards to be very original and powerful for the era. The campaign segment of Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution is quite expansive, containing most of the major character duels for all the series (Yu-Gi-Oh!, GX, 5Ds, ZEXAL, ARC-V and VRAINS). The series selection screen in campaign mode. Something about that game made it consistently replayable. My favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! game is Nightmare Troubadour which was released in 2005 for the Nintendo DS, it captured the Battle City/Virtual World arcs quite well and even features upgraded postgame decks for the major characters which included cards such as Black Luster Soldier Envoy of the Beginning, Chaos Dragon Envoy of the End and the ever useful Marshmallon. Starting with GBA titles like Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004 and even Dungeon Dice Monsters (for which I’d still love to see a remaster) as well as Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dawn of Destiny (a game which I really enjoyed despite the lack of cards available in-game) available on the original Xbox. So, the Yu-Gi-Oh! video games have always been my window into the world of duel monsters. While I purchased many cards back in the day, I eventually stopped as I never went to any dueling events. Between the god cards, the Kaibacorp duel disks and their ability to create portable virtual duel arenas as well as what seems like a great balance of power between the cards available in that era. Battle City is definitely peak Yu-Gi-Oh! in my opinion. I used to watch the original series and am familiar with the story from the Duelist Kingdom era to Legendary Dragons saga.

Just how good is it though? My Yu-Gi-Oh! Background Furthermore, it has a campaign mode with seemingly endless duels spanning across all five series as well as the ability to battle other duelists online in ranked or custom matches. Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution or LotD: LE for short, contains over 10,000 Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, by far the most in any Yu-Gi-Oh! game yet. Konami’s latest Yu-Gi-Oh! video game is Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution and today we are reviewing the PC version, available on Steam.
