Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution! Switch (EU & UK)

TLDR: Must have for every fan, but still a janky game.

As any fan of the franchise will know, good Yugioh games are rare and today almost all of them have to be played on an emulator. The "official" mainstream games are atrocious and a disgrace to the card game genre as a whole. Fans can't decide if the extremly simplified (and absurdly P2W) mobile focused "Duel Links" or the buggy whale milking simulator known as "Master Duel" is the worse game, we can agree that they are unplayable.

"Legacy of the Duelist" has remained the only actually playable and unaltered Yugioh experience and while the original was infested with DLCs, this version has all the original DLCs included and some slight improvements. I don't understand why "Link Evolution" was marketed as a sequel, which it clearly isn't, but that's Konami for you.

The Multiplayer is totally useless, as there is no banlist update, no set rotation and no updates to include newer sets. So expect to see the same totally broken decks on rotation every single round, most of which will end on turn 3 at last depending on the draw. You might aswell play a coinflip simulator. Cheating was also an issue, but the MP is dead now anyway.

But then again, if you are a serious player, you play a community made game like EDOPro with near certainty anyway.

HOWEVER and this is why I still recommend this game to any fan. It is absolutely amazing to play with friends.

You get a ton of sets to choose from and an easy and convenient way to play the game with friends. The game is appealing to players who are not that much into YGO and it does a great job at explaining the rules to newbies.

This and the SP still make it absolutely worth buying for a price of less than 3 packs in Master Duel.

The campaign is great and the possibility to use pro-created decks makes it easier to get into the game, helped me loads back then to get a hold of how to play yugioh

Great game to pass time with and a ton of card battles to have. Campaign is well made and your able to play as both sides

I mean yes there are as always a few things that could be tweaked, but overall this is the best platform based yugioh game I have played yet. Campaign is well made and getting plenty of new cards is as simple as winning a few duels.
