Yuugi: Play-time is over, Kaiba. [close-up of the Millennium Puzzle, Yuugi transforms into Yami no Yuugi] Seto: What the-? Yami: Now, Kaiba, prepare yourself, because it's time to duel. Seto: Virtual systems ready. So let's begin. I attack with the mighty Hitotsu Me Giant. Brace yourself, Yuugi. You've never dueled like this before. [Hitotsu Me Giant appears on playing field] Yami: He's brought the monster on the card to life. Seto: It's my virtual simulator. It creates life-like holograms of every Duel Monster. Yami: So this is how you beat my grandfather. Well now it's my turn. I call on the winged dragon- Guardian of the Fortress. [Guardian of the Fortress appears on playing field] Joey: Whoa, monsters! Real monsters! Yami: Fireball attack! [Guardian of the Fortress blasts Hitotsu Me Giant with a fireball. Hitotsu Me Giant shatters] [enter Mokuba] Mokuba: Big brother! [Seto's life-points are reduced from 2,000 to 1,800] Mokuba: Are you alright? Joey: Alright! Go Yuugi! Seto: Hah. Well played, Yuugi... for a beginner. But how will you deal with this? [Saggi the Dark Clown appears on playing field] Yami: Saggi the Dark Clown? But that card has hardly any attack strength. Seto: True, your winged dragon's attack is fourteen hundred, while my dark clown's is only six hundred, but if I combine it with this card... Yami: Ahh, A magic card! Seto: Exactly. The Negative Energy Generator. It multiplies my monster's attack by three. Dark Clown, attack with Dark Light! [Saggi attacks Guardian of the Fortress. Guardian of the Fortress dissolves. Yami's life-points go from 2,000 to 1,600] Seto: As you can see, combining cards can be very effective. Yami: He's good. He knows every aspect of this game. But my grandpa put all of his gaming knowledge, his whole heart, into assembling this deck. I have to believe that it holds some secret strategy. [looks at card he's just drawn] Ah, this card is useless. I can't beat the Dark Clown with this. I'll have to use a different monster in defense mode. The monster will be sacrificed, but my overall life-points will be safe. Seto: Dark Light Attack! [Yami's face-down card dissolves] Joey: Hang in there, Yuugi! Seto: You're not faring any better than the old man did, Yuugi. Your deck is just as weak and feeble as your grandfather. Yami: My grandpa is a great man, and a better duelist than you'll ever be. He entrusted me with his cards and I can feel his heart in this deck. I doubt you have that kind of faith in your cards, Kaiba. Seto: Wha-? Yami: [draws, smirks] And my faith rewards me with Gaia the Fierce Knight! With a destructive power of twenty three hundred. Seto: Ahh. [Gaia appears on playing field and attacks. Saggi dissolves. Kaiba's life-points are reduced from 1,800 to 1,300] Joey: Way to go, Yuugi! Yami: Alright, Kaiba, your move. Seto: Hah. This'll be over sooner than you think. Hmm. I call on the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. [BEWD appears on playing field] Yami: No way. Joey: Impossible! We all watched Kaiba tear that card in half. Seto: Surprised? Did you think your grandfather was the only one to possess a Blue-Eyes White Dragon? [BEWD attacks Gaia. Gaia dissolves.] Yami: Argh. [Yami's life-points are reduced from 1,600 to 900] Seto: Your Fierce Knight is destroyed. Faith or no faith, you will fall before my superior monsters, Yuugi. Power is what this game is all about, you fool. Faith is for losers... like your pathetic grandfather. In your entire deck, there's not a single card that can stand up to a Blue-Eyes White Dragon. [holds up another BEWD] So what hope do you have against two? [Second BEWD appears on playing field] Seto: Why don't you just admit defeat, Yuugi? [Cut to interior of a hospital. Solomon has an oxygen mask and is being rushed down a hallway on a stretcher] Solomon: Don't give up... Yuugi. [Cut back to the dueling platform] Yami: I won't give up. Grandpa's counting on me. Huh, a magic card. Swords of Revealing Light! It stops all monsters on the field for three turns. [Glowing swords appear around the BEWDs] Seto: How desperate. What possible good will a three turn delay do you? Yami: He's right. What do I do? I can't figure out what to do with these cards. They're just a bunch of... pieces. How can I use them to battle an expert like Kaiba? Solomon's voice: For someone claiming to have faith, you're giving up too easily, Yuugi. [Solomon appears inside Yami's head] Solomon: Listen, sometimes the cards are like a puzzle. You have to put all the different pieces in their proper place. Yami: Ahh, like the Millennium Puzzle? Solomon: Exactly. Each piece helps build a greater entity. [Solomon disappears from inside Yami's head] Yami: Grandpa! Solomon's voice: Like the pieces of a puzzle, Yuugi. Remember... Yami: Puzzle? When are the cards like a puzzle? Wait! Grandpa once said, "Duel monsters contains only one unstoppable monster- Exodia. But he can only be summoned by drawing all five special cards. A feat that, to this very day, no one has ever accomplished." Seto: Quit your stalling, Yuugi. Or you will be forced to forfeit the match. Yami: I never forfeit. Huh? Another piece of the puzzle. Seto: Draw any card you like, it won't change a thing. My dragons may be frozen for another two turns, but my new monster is under no such spell. The Judge Man, with an attack power of twenty-two hundred. [Judge Man appears on playing field and attacks Yami's monster, which dissolves] Yami: I can attack with the Dark Magician. But he won't stand a chance once Kaiba's dragons are free of my spell. [DM appears on playing field] Yami: Dark Magician... attack! [DM attacks the Judge Man, Judge Man dissolves. Kaiba's life-points are reduced from 1,300 to 1,000] Yami: Judge Man falls. Seto: Ahh, a sacrifice that doesn't even phase me. And though neither dragon can move for one more turn, my next card is... the third Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Yami: Nngh! [the third BEWD appears on the playing field] Seto: Now my dragon, attack! [the BEWD attacks DM. DM dissolves. Yami's life-points are reduced from 900 to 400] Seto: So tell me, Yuugi, how's your faith now? On my next turn, all three Blue-Eyes White Dragons are free to attack. This game's over no matter what card you draw. You can't possibly stand against my three Blue-Eyes White Dragons. It's over, Yuugi. You were never a match for me. Joey: Don't listen, Yuugi! Yami: Kaiba had three Blue-Eyes all along. He only wanted my grandpa's card so it couldn't be used against him. My only chance now is to assemble all the pieces of Exodia. But the odds are against me. I don't think I can do this. Wha- [he reaches for the deck, it appears to move away from his hand] The deck! It senses my doubt! [Yami and Yuugi split for a moment] Don't lose focus, Yuugi. Don't lose faith. Concentrate! [they meld back together] Wha-? [looks down at his hand] Our friendship symbol! [Téa, Tristan and Joey appear next to the deck in Yuugi's mind] Téa: Yuugi, we're right here with you. Tristan: Yuugi, you've got to believe in yourself. Joey: You can do it. Just kick Kaiba's butt. Yami: They're right. I've got to believe in the cards like my friends believe in me. Seto: Draw your last pathetic card so I can end this, Yuugi. Yami: My grandpa's deck has no pathetic cards, Kaiba. But it does contain... [holds up card] the unstoppable Exodia! Seto: Ahh! Impossible! Yami: I've assembled all five special cards. All five pieces of the puzzle. [a blue star appears on the playing field and Exodia's limbs appear inside it, one by one] Seto: Exodia! Ahh, it's not possible! No one's ever been able to call him! Yami: Exodia Obliterate!! [Exodia Obliterates] Seto: AHHHHHH! TLDR; Its a good game.

It’s a shame that the card list for Legacy of the Duelist is so outdated now, especially with Master Duel becoming the go-to for online meta Yu-Gi-Oh! matches. That said, I honestly think Legacy of the Duelist is the most fun for casual fans—especially for people who want to emulate the anime’s iconic duels in the actual trading card game. Previous Yu-Gi-Oh! games have tried to do this to some degree, but they often relied on gimmicks, forced you to insert your own deck, or made you grind like crazy just to face tougher opponents from the series. What makes Legacy of the Duelist so great is how it lets you relive all the major duels from the original anime up to VRAINS. Both you and your opponent use 40-card decks that are as close as possible to the real cards the characters used in the shows. That was such a cool feature—it’s easily my favorite implementation of the anime's card game rules. I don’t know how many other people got into Yu-Gi-Oh! games specifically to emulate the anime matches, but for me, this is the closest any game has come to pulling it off—and it does it so well. That’s why it’s my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! video game overall. Sure, other games like 5D’s Championship let you self-insert into the plot, and classics like Forbidden Memories or Duelist of the Roses have unique mechanics, but this one hits differently. As someone who got into the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game through the anime, being able to relive all six series I watched in card game form is just awesome. Even though the game gives you preset decks for the anime duels, you can still customize your own deck if you’d rather grind for cards instead of focusing on the anime experience. That said, the grind for cards is the main flaw of this game—but honestly, that’s been an issue with pretty much every Yu-Gi-Oh! game. You have to keep opening packs (like in real life) to collect 100% of the cards available in Legacy of the Duelist. I played the Switch version, and man, it was a grindfest. RNG and spamming story or challenge fights made it way more tedious than it needed to be. If I replay this game, it’ll be just to re-simulate the anime duels, which is super easy to do and the main reason I love and recommend this game.

Good game if you're looking for that old-school, "Power of Chaos: Yugi the Destiny" vibe

It's out dated compared to more recent games and is pretty dead when it comes to MP. But it's a fun SP experience, especially if you're a yugi-boomer like me who played the game from 2002 thru 2005-ish as a kid, tried getting back in a few years post-edison and couldn't do it because the new mechanics turned me off. I hear Link Evolution is cool for SP as well, has cards up through 2018 and can be modded to expand the experience. But if you're looking for multiplayer I think the f2p master duel game is where you should go as long as you don't mind shelling out cash or grinding to catch up with the current meta.

I spent 100k dp on Grandpa Muto packs, still don't have full collection of the cards. Only 32 slots for custom decks. Story campaign is pretty cool, character decks are hit or miss. Otherwise it's a Yugioh, pretty much what you can do yugioh stuff. 19,99 is a decent price for what you're getting, sale will make you feel even better.
