This is probably the best LEGAL Yu-Gi-Oh! Simulator to date. Older versions like "Legacy of the Duelist" pandered to anime fans too much or had shitty graphics/music. Master duel makes up for that by having much better graphics, UI, and music. Additionally, plenty of card archetype lore quests to finish give you plenty of points to spend in the shop. Admittedly, the game feels pay-to-win with the high points required to get good cards from a pack, maybe, but that applies to TCG & OCG as well. Pick this game up if you want to play this specific format with the UI and don't care for fan-made projects. It's free!
After not playing Yugioh for 15 years, this has been a lot of fun to get into. I tried Duel Links, but it was a limited version (3 monster & 3 spell/trap spaces instead of 5). I have learned that there are some decks that are just boring to play and play against. The deck basically play solitaire for 5 minutes. But that's fine. They give so much free currency, it's kind of crazy. There are also solo challenges (and more get added over time), where you can use your deck or a loaner deck to learn new ideas.
This rating isn't a review of YuGiOh. I love the game and pay waaaay to much money for colored cardboard.
I just finished the Solo-Mode. Every. Single. Duel. Twice. This rating addresses this part of the game. It doesn't teach you how to Duel. It doesn't show you what actual Meta-stratagies do. Some duels/decks are unbalanced as fuck.
Konami should start to release Solo-paths for every new Deck-Release, so people can learn how to play a deck before buying it/how to play against it.
