Pokemon Legends: Arceus vs Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links
Pokemon Legends: Arceus
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is the exciting new "prequel" to the highly popular Pokemon franchise. Step into the world of Hisui, which will be known as Sinnoh in the future, the era way before the mainline Pokémon games in this game. Go on excursions to explore the vast region, surveying, catching, and studying Pokémon you meet along the way. Set out from Jubilife village, and visit the neighboring areas throughout the region, like other settlements and breathtaking locales. Though there are no gym leaders, you’ll meet wardens and Frenzied Pokémon who need your help. Apart from intense Pokémon battles, you’ll need to calm down rampaging Frenzied Pokémon through balms and other tactics.In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you’ll play as either Rei or Akari, part of the Galaxy Team of the Survey Corps. Your goal is to meet and survey every Pokémon in the region to complete the region’s first-ever Pokédex. You’ll meet various characters along the way, like Professor Laventon, Commander Kamado, various merchants, and the members of the Pearl and Diamond Clan.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is not your typical “come-of-age story” and “challenge the Pokémon League adventure”. It’s an all-new type of quest where you don’t have to be the best: you just have to catch’em all!
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.
