Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Evolution: TCG vs Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Evolution: TCG
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Evolution: TCG is an MMO card game based on the popular card-dueling anime manga of a similar name. It provides you with the original Yu-Gi-Oh gameplay that you can play on your web browser for completely free. With tons of gorgeously and meticulously drawn cards, and challenging opponents to fight against, this is definitely the sort of trading card game (TCG) that will delight fans of the genre!If you're familiar with Yu-Gi-Oh!, the gameplay in this game shouldn't be too hard to grasp. However, for new players, you just need to understand this one thing weaker monsters can be summoned directly when the card is played but 5 to 6-star monsters will require a tribute to be summoned. Not to mention, more powerful monsters usually have special monster effects (such as Special Summon). These monster effects can really tip the scales of the duel in your favor when played right, so you really need to be familiar with your cards.
Despite its pretty much non-existent storyline, Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Evolution TCG Online is a decent free-to-play TCG. It’s surprisingly challenging and it offers up the sort of depth that fans of the genre would most certainly enjoy.
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.
