reviews
The game is great, all the characters and worlds are cool, and you dont really require to be a pro player in order to get good cards. However, there is a constant problem with connection issues and downloads, and it doesn't help at all if you have bad internet or service. Overall, good game, would play every day.

Love this game!!! It's just an awesome game. Period!...or exclamation point in this case. Always evolving,but continues to maintain the nostalgic simplicity many of us grew up with. It remains relevant,challenging,and all around enjoyable. With the cost of cards being swept up in the hype of TCGs it is an easy,and cost efficient way for veteran players to continue their love of the game without breaking the bank,as well enabling introduction to a new generation of duelist.Its time to DUEL!!!

It's a nice game and very addictive, only problem is the server problem where it tells me to reboot or retry, I wish you could fix it because sometimes as I go into a ranked it does it so I have to exit the app and when I'm back in, it shows I lost the match but I'm glad there's atleast a retry button so we don't have to reboot the app every time, Other than that I don't really have any problems.

After years of play, I still enjoy this game. It does get repetitive once you realize that the top tier decks go in cycles as to which is best due to "nerfing" / The one thing I do not like is the constant connection issues that everyone experiences and yet the devs insist that it is not the game despite every user experiencing this. *original review 5/15/19* this is great. not much to complain about here. I just wish there was an option to skip dialog during battles.

So far I am really enjoying this game. There are a lot of mechanics to learn, but it's been enjoyable. Don't necessarily have to pay to win, but it doesn't hurt to support the developers by buying a better deck if you have a few bucks you can spend. The long downloads and consistent wifi cutouts are something to keep an eye on though. Great game!

I tried downloading the game because I wanted to come back for the 5th anniversary bonuses but when downloading the game it only let me choose text language and the VOX option was just --- so I couldn't have their English dub voices while playing? Is there a way you can fix that? I loved hearing the characters, it just made everything so much more fun, please help!

This game is good, but my problem is the connection losses every other match, it doesn't matter if I'm on my high speed net or data it's like every other game I lose to connection. I'd blame t mobile but I can't because it happens on my home net too. Also it seem like over the years if u don't have a deck that's going to 1 turn someone then you'll lose every match. 1 turn games every game isn't too fun

I like this game. But the AI is a little bugged. For example, I had fought Tea Gardner (DSOD) Lv 30 with my Blue Eyes deck and she crashed. She just wouldn't do anything once I got BEWD on the field. Im guessing the Witchcrafter combos are too complex for the AI. I had tried exiting the app mid battle and tried continuing the duel but again she just didn't do anything. So far, Tea Gardner (DSOD) Lv 30 is the only one I have seen to do that. So yeah, pls fix AI.

It could be a good game,but the game balance is horrendous. So often I've played my turn, or not even been given the chance to play one card, and then you just sit there for 20 minutes while your opponent plays card after card and you lose, just no fun boring. Edit, if you do play an event eg KC cup and you get high up watch how many times in a row you go first, this enables the game to fix your loss. I've just done 20 straight log ins and off a 'coin toss' went first every time. RUBBISH

It's nothing like the original games from way back, if that's what you're looking for. The pace has gotten 10x faster (this is not bad), and the creators, I guess, in an effort to make old, weak cards (like blue-eyes, by the way) relevant, have enabled awefully powerful support cards, and new versions of the same card such as blue eye cards that have effects. Most wins are based on luck, as a victor is often decided on the second turn. Often times you have no shot purely because you went first.

The game itself is a 5 star game. The only real reason I rated three stars is because the update (specifically the one that has 684 rows) takes forever and I've deletedthis game off my phone multiple times. I'd say to try and cut down on update size and speed, to only release a few things at a time and then call it like "Duel links update (First Part)" and then release the second part a bit after. Games like call of duty have done this so many times so I think for you guys it will make it better

This is by far my favorite game of all time. I play it every chance I get and I try my best to get new characters and cards through the amazing events. There are problems with the connectivity, however my biggest problem is with the global chat and I'm not the only one who feels this way. Please update the language restrictions and the word count for sentences. I will rate 5 stars once that is done and I will soon be taking a break from the game and hope that this problem is fixed when I return

I played this game when it first came out on IPhone. I have not played in a few years and now have it on my android. The game is still decent however my issue stems from the Vagabond. I remember when the Vagabond had specific decks that were made to be challenging. Now he just uses player made decks that are so very Over Powered that as a new player I can't even scratch him. This have made my leveling up slow down to a snails pace and honestly detracting for the experience.

3-star for Free2Play(ers). 4-star for Pay2Win(ers). F2P:You have access to most cards, but you have a purchase limit (gems, which are okay to come by). This can really prohibit you if you're hunting a specific set of cards. Also a very noticeable impact to Solo/Staging. P2W:The store is your best friend, but it can be overwhelming and very easy to overspend. Watch your wallets please. BOTH:The auto features are not worth relying on. Use them for guidance but manual dueling/decking is da way

I think it can be fun, but some strategies are so out of balance it makes it not fun. What's fun about losing on your opponents first turn when they have an op deck that let's them rifle through to get 10 cards out of their deck that completely decimate me? Nothing. Plus too many events at once. Either reduce the events, or have the duel results screen condense to one for all events. I dont want to sit thru 3+ screens at the end of a duel that requires a response from me each time.

Spent hundreds of hours playing this game, loved it, until it started needling updates every other week. Now it wont let me install the most recent update, even though I cleared out memory on my phone. Plus I just recently got a new phone and can't transfer my data over. So I'm stuck with an old phone and not being able to play the game. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!

It's a really good game, but I hate when the game freezes when you're playing vs the CPU cause sometimes it takes too long to make its move, and I'm talking about 15+ minutes, that's so annoying! I'm writing this review while I'm waiting for the CPU's move ????

You guys need to adjust the game algorithm. It give draws that are not reasonable at all. The algorithm should always include at least a lower level monster in the starting draw so far as it's in your deck. I love this game but am slowly losing interest and might stop playing.

Now that I been playing this app. I can say that it's all fancy. This is not real dueling. The opponents have skills to draw cards they need. What???! A duel is a luck of the draw. They should have an option for classic dueling no skills none of that extra stuff. Think about the original fans of the game. This came out when I was little but it's nothing like the real dueling

Pretty dang good. Obviously it will take a while to figure out how to intermingle the decks, and what cards work great when certain stuff happens, but once you have two or three different decks with cards that you're comfortable using it becomes pretty entertaining. You can also scout for cards you might wanna pick up in the future and read up on decks. At first you will want to get a deck with a ritual summon if you're using Yugi, cuz you'll already be acquainted with how to get the good cards

It's a great game, though you should watch the series of Yu Gi Oh before playing, it is a fairly easy game to learn, I played and new how to do stuff without watching it or playing the Yu Gi Oh card game. I'd insist you play this if you like card games, overall great game, no ads but lots of in game pop ups like events or purchases, sometimes one pop up after another in a chain of sometimes 5, kinda annoying.

It's fun, but the algorithm is so messed up. Some cards in your deck show up every duel while others don't show up at all. Also why is it that this game PvP gives you streaks. You might be winning for days straight and sometimes they won't let you win a single duel. Can you make the win lose ratio more balanced. Those streaks get annoying, especially on the losing side.

Could be bvetter with the end turn button being either harder to press accidentally or an are you sure pop up when it's round one and no moves done. Lost an event match I easily could win because of that (had counter gate ready to stop enemy attack, but lost because the button to end my turn was pressed prematurely)

The game is extreamly pay to win. You get almost nothing from the free gifts and you're basically forced to either struggle forever or drop cash on this game. If the pay wall didn't exist this game would be do much better. Every time I log in, I get atleast 3 pop ups for things I do not care about, I just want to play the game, not mindlessly click through pop ups.

The game is great if it ever starts. The game for some reason has trouble loading when I have internet and a decent phone (Galaxy Note 10) and others have had these issues too, so trouble loading should be expected. But other than that, it's a good game

Duel Links is and will stay the best Yu-Gi-Oh video game ever created. For me even Master Duel doesn't provide this ton of fun, superb graphics, with the feeling of being in the anime. And morevoer, only Duel Links gives me these vibes of excitement when I'm dueling. I prefer a deck shorter focusing on a clearly sharpened combo, with fast paced duels, rather than a 20 minutes long and slow duel in Master Duel. Adding to that, the whole package is more beautiful, with true big HD cards.

If you uninstall the game or you have to switch phones because one stops working. Plan on losing your account. I set up my data transfer prior to switching phones. Only to have it not work. Second account I've lost. Not worth starting over again.

Game is extremly expensive because you can't craft cards like in master duel. The limited format is refreshing but events in master duel can do the same. The skills are realy intrresting but they aren't well ballanced so only a handfull are playable. !!The game in it's current state has no future!! Improvement ideas: make cards craftable, add more better skills and remove to generic skills, buff bad arctypes with better skills and give good arctypes bad skills.

I love the game a lot and how we get cards to gradually build decks for each character than having all the cards instantly,but there are some things I don't like, like they should put pendulum scales whenever am using an arc-v character and they can maybe add more spell/trap and monster card zones but overall it is 4 star almost 5 stars

So I do still enjoy the game on my phone, but since the update when trying to use the app on my chromebook it just gets stuck on the black screen after the starting screen. and no amount of restarting seems to be helping.

It's really easy to play and you can get to the next stages really fast if you know what you looking for and the duels are easy to win as long as you watch and follow the whole tourtal but it does get flurstrating when you have a lot of strong cards in you deck and then you duel and you get just spell cards and maybe one trap card.

Absolutely in love with this game! Would give 5 stars but the two things I feel is missing is the option to have a full duel (speed duels are still awesome!) and the option to trade cards with those on your friends list, otherwise this game is absolutely phenomenal and completely nostalgic for those who are more involved with the Yu-Gi-Oh universe!

Ranked and PvP duels are not equally matched online as they say, you will lose no matter what beginning out when starting to this game... Original Yu-Gi-Oh! with the set rules and standards of the original game is better than this!...... Plus story so convoluted, and jumps around based on current updates or whatever is hip at the time... I wish the would make the games like the old ones!!! And if story with current matrix gameplay, then new coming to Yu-Gi-Oh! Should know the basis and beginning

Unable to access the game for days now. Doesn't want to open even after restarting my phone and re-download. After every update only more bugs. Game is becoming unplayable and completely unaccessible. Really fed up with all the issues and spent a lot of money here. Utterly disappointed

This game is ok. Duel generation was the best Yu-Gi-Oh game Konami ever created, it had both online duels and a tonne of enjoyable campaign duels including all the cards and deck recipes of the original anime. The colours and layout were simple and straight to the point. Duel links has way too many pop-ups, the features, colours and layout are an overkill. There's also way too many animations. Master duel is slightly better than this
noname296390, the 16/05/2022
________________________________________________
I love playing it, its fun and I love using the characters, but I wish that they had more balanced and non meta stuff because I play this game to get away from the meta of link summoning, and combos out the wazoo. Losing the extra slots for monster and spell/traps kinda sucks but is understandable same with deck size so thats fine. I just hope they don't add links, and make getting gems easier.

I love this game so much. I can spend hours on this game and not be bored.. Tho when I tried downloading it on a new phone, none of my previous game data was transferred making me lose exclusive cards and characters. Its upsetting since some cards no longer show up during events.
noname634393, the 16/05/2022
________________________________________________
Okay this is one of those It can be good if they didn't add any of the newer cards or really any of the ridiculous one Turn strategy that the game turned into could make a really nice online game If they just got rid of all of the cards they keep coming out with the card game itself has evolved to a point where it's not even the card game It's a coin flip. Whoever wins the coin flip wins the duel
noname727687, the 16/05/2022
________________________________________________
It's a well made game. I love the way they dealt with power creep in the real life yugioh, (3 monster zones, choosing to not add some cards, etc...) but the duels are still quick and fun (4000 life points, unique character abilities and more). The missions are there for people looking for a defined game which will lead them to some interesting stories, but if that's not your cup of tea, there's always pvp. There is a paywall but you will eventually get all of the cards with time and patience.
