Hot damn, those screens make it look identical to HS. Do they play differently?

Eternal plays a lot more like Magic/Hex than Hearthstone. It's alright. I prefer Hex to Eternal, myself.
Eternal is more Magic than HS - lots more strategy, but maintains the accessible nature of HS,
Is Hex planning to come to phones?
I used to play Hex. They had no immediate plans.

Oh, uh... eventually........
.....probably never. Hex Ent's development time is atrocious.

At the rate they are developping the game, the release date for this would be : never.
It's a shame because i enjoyed my time with the game , but now i enjoy more playing Eternal card game on my ipad.(closed beta)
Way more meaty than Duel Generation but it's boring how much they're treating you with kid gloves at the beginning. I place a monster with 1750 attack, they place a monster with 900 in attack mode. Come on, NPC jobbers, you've got to at least look like you're trying.
edit: Three pages into the release thread and y'all are talking about other games instead. Not a good look for this one.

To be honest, this game is the most fun I've had with a digital card game in a while. It plays well and has decent production quality. Manages to get the spirit of the card game and the anime without being a chore to play. I think once they add in more sets/characters the game will really shine.
As far as Eternal is concerned, I'd like it more if there was some card flavor/world building. Even just some sound effects for each card would be nice. I find most of the game's art to be pretty bland, so it's hard to really enjoy the game beyond just the gameplay.
It is a shame. I just reamed Hex a new one in a recent survey. They have a lot left undone from the Kickstarter that may never happen.

Once auto duel is accessible, everything just feels non tedious
Is there any downside to it? Usually games penalize or it costs you something for using something like that.

Only 3 cards in a pack is lame as hell. Is 3 the standard for these kinds of mobile games?
Also is there a trade option because I don't see the point of having more than 3 of a card in the box if you can't trade. I do appreciate the idea of showing you what's still available though.

You can trade in extra cards for coins to trade with the card trader.
I agree 3 per pack is dumb, feel like it should be 4, equal to your starting hand size at least.
I'm sure they will, but it's hard for me to stay optimistic about this since its the 3rd or 4th time konami has put out a "yugioh online" type deal only drop support for it later on. Wish we could get something like what Pokemon or MtG has.

It has none of those at this moment.
this might be the best tutorial (in the training room) for a yugioh video game lol.
feel like most just assume you played the tcg.
You also get goodies!
turning off VA audio speeds up the dialogue without having to tap.
changing the power usage to max speeds up gameplay and framerate, also put it to topdown for quicker.

So I'm better off playing Duel Generation then?

It's nice for a nostalgia trip, but so far... I'm actually starting to get bored. OG Yugioh is sorely lacking in interesting plays. Everything revolves around have the highest attack, and there isn't even Mirror Force to even things out.
At least with Stairway to the Destined Duel, I could create a hilarious burn deck.
Hilariously, there is a replay thing where you can watch replays of PVP matches, it has a setting for 1 turn KO's most of which I've watched are one player forfeiting for no discernible reason.

I'd say so, but you'll be more limited in the acquisition of cards, there is also less cards at the moment in general.
Probably for the better for me, if it's OG stuff then I'm definitely in. I saw stuff like Necro Exodia and other shit and I was like WTF have they done to Yugioh?

I feel like pendulum would be pretty worthless in this type of format anyways given you have less cards to work with and can summon less monsters even with a successful pendulum
Exodia Necross was OG tho
Blind geewunner hate is always hilarious.
They're totally different games. From what I can tell:
Link:
- 4000 LP.
- Max of 3 monsters and 3 magic/traps on the field.
- No special monster types past ritual and fusion.
- Cards are unlocked by purchasing booster packs with real money or gems, or unlocked with characters or Duel School.
- You choose which set you're getting booster packs from.
- Cards can be exchanged for in-game money (no idea what that does)
- Characters can be leveled too unlock more bonuses, including special skills
- Progress by completing a certain set of missions (generally involves defeating enemies). There are also random battles and Duel School as side content.
- Deck slots are limited by character, but more can be earned by leveling or by purchasing for real money.
Generations
- 8000 LP.
- Max of 5 monsters and 5 magic/traps.
- All special monster types.
- Cards are unlocked by purchasing booster pack with real money or points, or defeating enemies.
- Booster packs purchased using points don't seem to come from a particular set, or at least have no option to choose. Packs purchased with real world money seem to come from a certain archetype instead (e.g. Exodia)
- Full decks can also be purchased with real money.
- Characters are purely cosmetic
- Progress by defeating opponents in a linear fashion. Weekly ladder challenge is the only other side content, but opponents have more challenging decks after being beaten five times.
- All deck slots seem to be fully available from the start.
Also the presentation is totally different, with Link generally being much more flashy while Generations is very basic.

Signed up for the freebies, but I'll have to spend some time over the weekend to gauge what set they're on and what the f2p model is like. I feel like YGO plays really awfully when you don't have at least the staples.

I share this sentiment as well. Yu-Gi-Oh have gotten too complicated for me.
If I want to play a TCG with new mechanic every year, I'll play Magic.

Fun game just don't play Japanese players online since you constantly disconnect and get an automatic loss for it.

Nice of them to run the game's first and only(?) event for only a handful of days overlapping Christmas. I want Yami Marik!

Was clamoring for Magic Jammer and realized half the AI don't know what a spell card is and misuses cards lol.
Toughest part of the game has been the practice duels where you can get stuck with a dead draw or dead hand and just outright lose.

think the only downside is that AI can be sometimes stupid. forexample if its dealing with an effect monster (a flip type monster) it will always always set it face down regardless if it has the highest attack and can attack and kill every single monster the enemy throws at it.
