Sometimes the AI takes too much time making its move, and the ability to fast forward some of the duel would make the wait more bearable.

The campaign's lack of fast forward or skips is also frustrating. It's great to revisit many of these classic moments from the anime, but it would have been better if voice acting was added as well. For experienced players in need of s challenge, it's certainly a cool concept.īut not everything about the nostalgic campaign flows perfectly. You have the option of going into battle against classic characters using 'story' decks that give you an assortment of cards close to what was used in the anime. Players will recreate scenarios and duels from all six iterations of the series.Įach chapter has about 20-25 different duels to go through. The single-player campaign in Link Evolution is similar to the original Legacy of the Duelist. Whether you're looking for a card to mill your opponent's deck or a card that special summons from the graveyard, you'll find it in no time flat.īeing able to purchase and pull cards from packs is always a joy in real life and in a game, so having so many packs to farm the archetype or cards you're looking for gives you a great sense of progression. Link Evolution, however, allows you to find the right card for your strategy. Some titles, like the mobile game Duel Links, have limited search capabilities.

I also love the UI and its ability to search through your trunk of cards. Link Evolution offers step-by-step tutorials on how all the summonings work. worried about lapsed knowledge or are brand-new to the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, don't be. As someone who plays the TCG casually with friends, I found Link Evolution to be a great teaching tool on the latest strategies. The TCG has gone through many evolutions in recent years, especially with the introduction of Link Summoning in 2017. If you're a fan of the TCG you're going to love this game.Ĭonstructing new decks and strategies has always been the most fun part of the TCG for me, and, with more than 9,000 cards to choose from, I won't have any shortage of decks to use.
