Hearthstone vs Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links
Hearthstone
Hearthstone is an incredibly popular MMOCCG that features familiar and beloved characters from Blizzard's Warcraft universe. The game combines class skills with a competitive and well-balanced gameplay as well as an amazing database of over 400 cards from 3 different types, namely weapons, minions and spells. There are plenty of game modes, both single player and multiplier PvP, for you to enjoy too! Due to its incredible popularity (for a card game) in eSports, its competitive scene may be a bit tough to break into unless you are willing to spend plenty of time and effort into improving you game. That said, if you enjoy MMOCCGs, Hearthstone is surely the one game you mustn't miss out on! The game can be played across platforms as well.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.
