Awesome! Any impressions from the beta?

Im sure it will be a fine game, lets just hope the microtransactions arent as ridiculous as the dlc in legacy of the duelist.

The game is extremely well made and polished, but just don't expect to be able to win in PvP until you have a constructed deck.

4kids voice actors? I can't imagine Yugi being played by anyone who's not Dan Green.

Does it still only have the smaller board and shit that I heard it had, or does it include regular duels too now

 

[Kouriozan]

It's the "casualized" gameplay, right?
I mean 3 monsters and magic/trap card at the same time.
Just hope the UI is fast and easy to navigate, I remember trying another Yu-Gi-Oh! game earlier this year and it was pretty slow.

A STAR STUDDED LINEUP!

I got the game from the Japanese iTunes (it's in english)
The campaign is boring and repetitive
I like the presentation, has a lot of style
You don't get access to many strong monsters early on(Axe Raider is an Ultra Rare in the first Booster Pack!), thankfully there are 1650 Attack monsters as Rares in the 2nd pack
Speed Duel format works I guess, makes the duels shorter, something that seems necessary for a mobile game

Yes, Dan Green is voicing Yugi.

Does it still only have the smaller board and shit that I heard it had, or does it include regular duels too now

Speed Duel format is all I've had options to, I'm on Stage 15 though.

A STAR STUDDED LINEUP!

She's the one you get Dark Magician Girl from too for some reason.

Here's some of the micro transaction for the packs.

how does this game work money wise?

 

[StrikerD]

Give me a new world championships game on 3ds and then we're talking, can't get into the mobile ones.

If we are lucky, they'll port the latest PS4/XB1/PC game to Switch and call it a day.

Is this finally a real Yu-Gi-Oh game for mobile? Last entries were half hearted.. Would love to be in the nostalgia of the first two generations.

how does this game work money wise?

A pack of 3 cards runs for $1 or 50 gems.

The game is pretty generous with gems, the currency is very grindable via NPC/PvE Duels if you don't feel ready for PvP.
