Gwent vs Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links
Gwent
Gwent is a completely-unique MMOCCG that is based off on a mini-game in the award-winning RPG, The Witcher 3. Featuring a poker-like bluffing aspect, the game has a simple yet innovative gameplay where players will try to one-up the other by having the highest score for that round. The player who won 2 rounds out of 3 will be crowned the winner. To win, having a great deck and a good bluffing strategy is crucial. Not to mention, similar to its RPG counterpart, this MMOCCG has a seriously in-depth and brand-new lore that will embroil you in the war between various factions, forcing you to pick a side. Gwent is an MMOCCG full of promise and one that is very much worth playing.Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links is an MMOTCG that's based on the popular Yu-Gi-Oh anime series and card-dueling game franchise, which possibly is among the most sophisticated and yet well-made of all time. And as such, the learning curve for this game can be quite daunting to say the least and as a result, the game isn't a game for everyone nor that it tries to be.That said, the game allows you to not only go up against famous characters from the anime series, like Yami Yugi, Seto Kaiba, and Joey Wheeler, but also duel other players in real time. Unlike the 40-card decks that most CCGs (including the previous Yu-Gi-Oh games) use, decks in this game only have 20 cards... and not to mention, these decks are presets linked to the character that you use. So in other words, there is no deck-building nor a character of your own to customize. This actually provides a certain amount of challenge since players will be forced to mold their own play styles to the decks present in the game.
Some may say that Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links doesn't really live up to the franchise as the game is very obviously "toned down" (in terms of complexity rather than difficulty) to fit it for the average mobile gamer. But if you really think about it, these changes are all necessary just to turn this amazingly intricate game into a mobile game. So, all in all, we'd recommend this game to fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh series and players who are curious to find out what this card game franchise is all about.
