Thank you for joining me in this indulgence. I managed to do it with relatively minor references to Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged! Back onto the schedule I've had planned for now. Hopefully. Stay tuned!
The idea of a Yu-Gi-Oh arc ending with just some random background kid stopping the end of the world because he thought, "Hey, I like card games" is hilarious
we need more of those plot twists in anime! just a random background character that could be a self-insert taking on the main villian rather than the hero!
Probably one of my favorite yugioh games, and reshef of destruction is like an ultra hard mode sequel. Kinda wish people would make fan games out of the formula.
@@dudeguy8686 For real, I played that game during high school and it took be about an entire year on and off with a conservative use of save states. It's like, it was so hard and grindy to an absurd point that made me invested with putting up with its bullshit.
Sacred Cards and Reshef are successors to Forbidden Memories in a lot of ways, so in that respect Sacred Cards is kinda the odd man out by not being a soul crushing game that just wants to troll the player
Face-Down cards being labeled with "R", likely means "Reverse". In the Japanese language, characters would often state "Reverse Card, Open!" When playing the effects of face-down cards
Something I learned about the Attributes in this game, it’s that they aren’t Attributes, they’re Alignments. It was a different system that was later replaced by Types and Attributes. The weird Light, Shadow, Dream, and Fiend thing were actually all Magic/Spell Types for monsters. Almost every Alignment was changed into Types. And then they re-added the Alignments. The Fiend Fiend thing is absolutely hilarious because they ARE the same. Demon/Fiend Magic became the Demon/Fiend Type.
Rip to Mr. Takuhashi, he will never know how much he touched with his work, even now I still think about Yu-Gi-Oh 20 yrs later, may he always duel in the sky
The OP probably won't see this but whats funny is that Im actually playing master duel right now and 10 minuets in when he mentioned the test the opponent's first turn hasn't even finished yet 😂😉
@@unowngamer9352 or...and get this...going outside and touching grass. The game died ages ago 🤣 that and duel links. Why so salty, go make freinds in the real world.
I have 2 things that i remember from this Game. One: It took me 15 to 20 Minutes to figure out how to get the Story started by prematurly challenging everyon. Two: Getting the Hots for Mai and Ishizu because of the Artstyle here
This game was really fun initially, Until you realize how poorly balanced it was on the easy side. I wish there was a reshef level of difficulty version of the game with a new game+ option so you can play the story on loop if you want without resetting your progress.
I like that the 5D's WC games had this option as well (minus increased difficulty in Challenge Mode) if you wanted to replay the game at peak or play the post story for fun and see what else you could find.
You have such a wonderful storytelling style. I can't wait for you to cover Reshef of Destruction. I remember that game being significantly harder as well.
I like the strange mechanical stuff in this game like -Main phases and battle phase are combined -Effects are activated only once, and if you do, you don't get to attack with that effect monster that turn -You can discard your cards from the field or hand whenever you like (just like the dark hole example), or tribute them for nothing This even is so good with Dark Flare Knight in reshef of destruction because his effect is activated when he's in the GY -You can only have one card in the GY, we can asume the previous cards before the current card there, are banished -Some effect changes are just wild, >Change of heart is permanent >Relinquished and 1000Eyes are like CoH but 100Eyes gives 1000Atk to the monster you steal >Torrential Tribute is like if Raigeki and Mirror Force had a baby, because it destroys all monsters on your opponent's field when one of them declares an attack, REGARDLESS OF POSITION >You can special summon monsters without having them in your deck, hand or GY, this makes Ancient Lamp so good because you can special summon a La Jinn out of nowhere
Excited for that Reshef video eventually. Please check out Falsebound Kingdom at some point though. I adore yugioh games that aren't 1:1 of the real card game and the story can get NUTS.
There was this one game for the GBC with those scuffed looking custom cards that always came out pretty strong so you could basically use them as type counters and walk through the whole game like that. Also had an Exodia summon scene that scared the shit out of my younger self when it first came on.
I remember wanting to make the ultimate Yu-Gi-Oh deck a long time ago, basing it around the Red Eyes Black Dragon n' themed cards. Took me ages to find the right cards, only for the person who helped me find those cards literally beat me in 3 turns because of the game's most crippling flaw - feature creep. And once again, Power Pak is catching me up on pop culture. I had no idea that the author passed away so suddenly. May he rest in peace.
Just found my SP with this game. I loved this game when i was a kid and still do today. I remember playing this with a childhood friend out in rural colorado. Brings back hella memories. Glad other people loved this game as much as i did
I hope you continue with other Yu-Gi-Oh! games. I'm currently replaying Capsule Monsters Coliseum and I'm still having the same amount of fun as when I was a kid, probably because I didn't understand the rules as well back then.
Capsule Monster Coliseum is an awesome PS2 game. Yugioh games with alternate play styles apart from the traditional card game like this one tend to age pretty well.
I have a vague childhood memory of this game resetting repeatedly to beat Yami Marik. My starting hand would only change a few times - draws staying the same in each. So I guess the game had specific seeds it would swap between?
I don’t remember what Yugioh game it was, but I remember one time going to duel Kaiba almost immediately after fresh starting. Turn 1 kaiba summons cyber stein and brings out his ultimate dragon for 5k life points then on my turn I used change of heart and won immediately
This game and Pokémon made my weeks at the campground as a kid super memorable. Somehow I never noticed the summon AFTER dark hole, but as a kid I prolly didn’t care lmao
Just bought the game recently off a guy on Facebook, had the game back when I was 8 and its one of my standout memories as a kid. Excited to feel the nostalgia again.
I don't know why but the Danganronpa music over the story explanation is, like, the funniest thing I've seen all day. This was a delightful video. YGO is a series that I spent so, so much time with growing up. It made up a big part of my childhood and I still have nice memories of the series as a whole. And playing the hell out of the 2008 world tournament game, even years later. Hearing about Kazuki Takahashi was heart-breaking...though hearing others sharing their memories of YGO has been really nice.
I loved this review style! If you're reviewing more Yu-Gi-Oh! games, I'd certainly recommend the Falsebound Kingdom. It's nothing even close to what you'd think would come out of a Yu-Gi-Oh! game, but it still manages to be a uniquely challenging and rewarding RPG style of game that features our favorite characters and monsters.
Thank you for this video. I never play with this game before but I felt that nostalgic feeling, when I was young and play with old fake yugioh cards. Rest in peace Kazuki Takahasi.
My god I played hundreds of hours into this as a kid and only just remembered it existed from this video. I need to go dig out and find my copy somewhere
i remember playing this and then getting the sequel, and was properly cooked by reshef of destruction, but you know what it was still fun anyway r.i.p kazuki takahashi, you will be missed
You're so delightful. I could listen to you talk all day. Absolutely loved all the little visual gags. And man, I love the concept of a game where you get inserted into this whole main character storyline and you just... Don't care about a huge aspect of it. Having a main character who is so neutral about the Egyptian god cards and the Millenium items is so funny to me. I want more games like this.
I'm currently playing through all YuGiOh games that came to the west in order and this one was a a lot of fun to play. After realizing this was a more refined version of Dark Duel Stories I knew it was gonna be fast and loose and a lot of fun. I really wish they revamped the story though. There's a very weird feeling about you getting all the big wins against the ghouls when you know good and well someone else did it canonically. Great video though. You got a new subscriber for sure
Really great video! I was always super curious about this game as a fellow massive yugioh fan growing up. Absolutely adored the manga series and how scary it could get compared to the show! I hope you do cover more of the series. The only one I had as a kid was Forbidden Memories and man that game is such a fun mess. The fusion system was something I never figured out, I usually just mashed my entire hand together and sometimes got something amazing.
man, ive never seen someone talk about this game before. when i was younger, my brother my dad and i were all super into yugioh: we watched the anime on 4kids (pretty sure i still have dvds of it sitting around somewhere), played the tgc against each other as well as friends and at school, buying packs and collector tins and having tons and tons of cards. hell i even remember going to McDonald's with my mom and getting the mcdonalds toys where they'd give you a small pyramid with iirc monster icons on the sides and a little monster car on the inside. really great bonding stuff all in all. and you bet we had to have all the yugioh games we could get. we had Duelists of the Roses, Reshef and Sacred Cards, 7 Trials to Glory, I even had a couple of the DS games before I eventually phased out of Yugioh as a whole. my dad must have grinded the hell out of our copy of Duelists of the Roses, I remember his save file going as far as the duel against kaiba, no idea if he beat him or not. my brother had reshef of destruction and I had Sacred Cards. never did manage to beat Reshef (or 7 Trials for that matter) but I remember being young and dumb and not understanding the attribute system well and what worked against what and subsequently getting gutted having to restart and restart against kaiba in the Art (lol). i did eventually pick up on the AI cheese tho as well. Finally getting to the end really felt like a journey, at least to kid me, and it helped thinking back to the beginning when you only had 3 places on the map and more than a dozen at the end. but anyway, thank you for covering this game and letting me ramble endlessly over nostalgia and times now past. looking forward to seeing more games in the future. and thank you. RIP Dad
Kazuki Takahashi was one of my heroes. He had lack of controversies like Weird Al, another one of my idols, and built my childhood. One of the inspirations why I started worldbuilding and got super creative. Yugioh is wacky, and I love it for that.
YO. That Digimon World soundtrack in the background flipped me out because I JUST dug out that game and played it to completion yesterday. When the audio started I thought I was hitting a matrix glitch.
Please please please do more Yu-Gi-Oh content! I'd love to see more stuff from you! I'm a huge YGO fan, and I'd seriously kill to see your take on some of the other games! I've heard some really good things about Duelist of the Roses, but I'd also just love to see you discus more of the YGO game content, since there is so much out there! I really love your videos, and seeing you cover video games about a card game that I have so much nostalgia for just is incredible.
I loved this game growing up! The detail that you can put the serial number on your real life cards into the machine at the card shop to unlock them in the store was genius! Edit: unlocking them in the store was for the other version of this game Reshef of Destruction
I remember Arkana very well actually, I love his Red Dark Magician better than any other art. I hadn't bought cards in over 10 years, but when they actually released that card in Yugi's Legendary Decks I had to buy it.
That secondary attribute circle I believe originates from the first Yugi vs Pegasus duel in the Duelist manga. Specifically how Illusionist Faceless Mage beats Dark Magician in chapter 3.
Oh damn I gotta look through my old boxes and find this game again, this game was so much fun edit: man im kinda tempted to look at the sequel right now
I played this game as a kid, and even now there is something refreshing about this simplified gameplay. It's a shame the formula was used for two games only
I know I'm late, but to answer your question... I remember that guy. His name is Arkana. He appears in "The Master of Magicians: Part 1" and he's important because he introduced my favorite novelty card, the Red Dark Magician.
Finished watching your recent Doom My House vid, enjoyed that, then watched a vid on a certain YuGiOh GBA game I used to own as a kid and also enjoyed that. Well done. (also enjoyed the nod to Sora lol)
That building where you buy cards is the shop where Yugi and Joey get their duel disks, I believe, and I think maybe also the same shop Yugi buys the booster pack with lightforce sword in it, during his date with Tea.
They should make yugioh games like this now days. Have the rules and everything based on the anime and have cards have effects based on that. I had more fun playing this game than ones based on the real tcg.
So i bought this game because i loved the yugioh show (enough that my first ever email was yugioh themed) but i never got into the card game when i was younger. So this was my basis of understanding cards. I then recently got into watching yugitibers for nostalgia and i had my entire mind blown when i learned a lot of the really shitty cards in this game had actual effects and even saw competitive play because of them.
I played this game when I was VERY little and even I never noticed the type advantage feature. This game was alright to play and I personally enjoyed it. 10:39 or even better, see how many matches you can win while ANY master duel opponent sets up their first turn
i actually think the fiend/dream attributes may be a reference to how magic works in the earlier manga. if i recall correctly, it goes as follows: white magic beats demons and devils, demons/devils beat illusionists, illusionists beat dark magic, dark magic beats white magic. naturally white magic is light and dark magic is, well, dark. i think illusionists and demons/devils could have been translated into dream and fiend. even if not, it's a cool coincidence!
Ah I didn't know this game existed, I did grow up playing Yugioh Nightmare Troubadour, which is basically this game but with the story more fleshed out and with the proper card game mechanics. Though it starts with you not really Knowing any of the Yugioh characters. Did love that game though.
I still maintain that the day a dueldisc is created. I will be greater than zarc. This game and franchise. Has literally been my childhood and it never left me. I still have my damn deck
I have Yu-Gi-Oh Eternal Duelist Soul for GameBoy Advance and I still break it out to this day. Granted, I also have the codes for all the cards so my deck is stacked with high-attack or high-defense, no-tribute cards (like cards with 1900 attack, etc. or Big Shield Gardna, etc.) Back in the day, I remember my parents freaking out when I printed off 20+ pages of card codes and I learned real quick that stacking my deck with all "the best" cards left no room for tributes and then I was like, "Wait, why would I tribute cards good enough to hold up on the field just to bring in a slightly better card - thus giving the poor AI enough time to field multiple monsters?" And thus my cheese strategy was born. I know I couldn't take that to any kind of real-world game but I never owned even one Yu-Gi-Oh card (my parents learned their lesson with Pokémon lawl) so that one game is really my only gateway to the world of actual D-d-d-d-d-duels. And I'm happy to share in the nostalgia.
okay that master duel comparison wasn't fair your opponent was play ROCK WARRIOR and i'm nearly sure you were playing the structure deck great video tho i hope this game gets a remaster
You should try comparing a Master Duel at the meta level to this game. Individual turns might still be long and complicated at that skill level, but duels themselves are literally decided in one or two turns. It's kind of nuts.
Thank you for joining me in this indulgence. I managed to do it with relatively minor references to Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged!
Back onto the schedule I've had planned for now. Hopefully. Stay tuned!

Make his hair blue to pre-appease the femenists
wasn't that the ending of the original season of Pokémon?, Ash lost and some total rando won
@@DCPTF2 thats like almost every season of pokemon
Probably one of my favorite yugioh games, and reshef of destruction is like an ultra hard mode sequel. Kinda wish people would make fan games out of the formula.
Reshef was the Kaiju romhack before they were cool. The world just wasn't ready
@@dudeguy8686 For real, I played that game during high school and it took be about an entire year on and off with a conservative use of save states. It's like, it was so hard and grindy to an absurd point that made me invested with putting up with its bullshit.
Sacred Cards and Reshef are successors to Forbidden Memories in a lot of ways, so in that respect Sacred Cards is kinda the odd man out by not being a soul crushing game that just wants to troll the player
I have a double pack of both games.
It took years to beat Reshef. Mammoth Graveyard won me that game as a whole
@@Pwrplus5
I've recently started Forbidden Memories. I had to savescum to beat just Weevil.
Face-Down cards being labeled with "R", likely means "Reverse". In the Japanese language, characters would often state "Reverse Card, Open!" When playing the effects of face-down cards
Reverse Cardoo open!😅😂
The whole yugioh as an rpg concept was perfected in "Over The Nexus" on the DS imo. If you ever go that far, I'd love to see you cover it
The only thing I hate about that game is the mandatory races.
Something I learned about the Attributes in this game, it’s that they aren’t Attributes, they’re Alignments. It was a different system that was later replaced by Types and Attributes.
The weird Light, Shadow, Dream, and Fiend thing were actually all Magic/Spell Types for monsters. Almost every Alignment was changed into Types. And then they re-added the Alignments.
The Fiend Fiend thing is absolutely hilarious because they ARE the same. Demon/Fiend Magic became the Demon/Fiend Type.
Yu-Gi-Oh had a big part of my life and it's really sad that the creator of one my childhood favorite cartoon past away so fast.
7:40 - 8:00 nothing worse in Dark Duel Stories than summoning Blue-Eyes just for your opponent to bring out Kuriboh and destroy you.
Man, I didn't even realize Takahashi had passed away. I had so much fun playing Yu-Gi-Oh when I was 12 or so.
a few weeks back, sucks too he wasnt even that old
Rip to Mr. Takuhashi, he will never know how much he touched with his work, even now I still think about Yu-Gi-Oh 20 yrs later, may he always duel in the sky
The OP probably won't see this but whats funny is that Im actually playing master duel right now and 10 minuets in when he mentioned the test the opponent's first turn hasn't even finished yet 😂😉
I see this, and I believe it.
Maybe the both of you should start playing a decent deck
@@unowngamer9352 or...and get this...going outside and touching grass. The game died ages ago 🤣 that and duel links. Why so salty, go make freinds in the real world.
I used to play this on an old website that held a bunch of emulated games in middle school. I loved this game too! It feels so nostalgic to watch.
This game is AMAZING. Love playing this game every now and then
I have 2 things that i remember from this Game. One: It took me 15 to 20 Minutes to figure out how to get the Story started by prematurly challenging everyon.
Two: Getting the Hots for Mai and Ishizu because of the Artstyle here
This game was really fun initially, Until you realize how poorly balanced it was on the easy side.
I wish there was a reshef level of difficulty version of the game with a new game+ option so you can play the story on loop if you want without resetting your progress.
I like that the 5D's WC games had this option as well (minus increased difficulty in Challenge Mode) if you wanted to replay the game at peak or play the post story for fun and see what else you could find.
You might wanna check out the Kartal Rebalance hack.
You have such a wonderful storytelling style. I can't wait for you to cover Reshef of Destruction. I remember that game being significantly harder as well.
I like the strange mechanical stuff in this game like
-Main phases and battle phase are combined
-Effects are activated only once, and if you do, you don't get to attack with that effect monster that turn
-You can discard your cards from the field or hand whenever you like (just like the dark hole example), or tribute them for nothing
This even is so good with Dark Flare Knight in reshef of destruction because his effect is activated when he's in the GY
-You can only have one card in the GY, we can asume the previous cards before the current card there, are banished
-Some effect changes are just wild, >Change of heart is permanent
>Relinquished and 1000Eyes are like CoH but 100Eyes gives 1000Atk to the monster you steal
>Torrential Tribute is like if Raigeki and Mirror Force had a baby, because it destroys all monsters on your opponent's field when one of them declares an attack, REGARDLESS OF POSITION
>You can special summon monsters without having them in your deck, hand or GY, this makes Ancient Lamp so good because you can special summon a La Jinn out of nowhere
Excited for that Reshef video eventually. Please check out Falsebound Kingdom at some point though. I adore yugioh games that aren't 1:1 of the real card game and the story can get NUTS.
There was this one game for the GBC with those scuffed looking custom cards that always came out pretty strong so you could basically use them as type counters and walk through the whole game like that. Also had an Exodia summon scene that scared the shit out of my younger self when it first came on.
Dark Duel Stories for anyone interested

Capsule Monster Coliseum is an awesome PS2 game. Yugioh games with alternate play styles apart from the traditional card game like this one tend to age pretty well.
I have a vague childhood memory of this game resetting repeatedly to beat Yami Marik. My starting hand would only change a few times - draws staying the same in each. So I guess the game had specific seeds it would swap between?
I don’t remember what Yugioh game it was, but I remember one time going to duel Kaiba almost immediately after fresh starting. Turn 1 kaiba summons cyber stein and brings out his ultimate dragon for 5k life points then on my turn I used change of heart and won immediately

I had to pause and rewind once I realized I heard themes from Digimon World

The pain of slogging through this game as a kid to finally unlock Ra only for the game to end and no new game +, the pain still haunts me
Yugioh kuriboh only when?
I loved the tactic to tribute 3 monsters, activate dark hole and summon Obelisk. One of the best game I've played 😍
This is one of my fondest games in the Yu-Gi-Oh catalog (and I own all of them).

Now you have to check Forbidden memories and Duelist of Roses
I remember there was another game like this called YGO King of Games.
Either that or it was Reshef of Destruction.
Kazuki Takahashi was one of my heroes. He had lack of controversies like Weird Al, another one of my idols, and built my childhood.
One of the inspirations why I started worldbuilding and got super creative. Yugioh is wacky, and I love it for that.
The File City music!!!! 😍😍😍
EDIT: And the Danaganronpa intro music?! Right, insta-subbed.
YO. That Digimon World soundtrack in the background flipped me out because I JUST dug out that game and played it to completion yesterday. When the audio started I thought I was hitting a matrix glitch.
I love these manual tribute YGO mechanic so you can cheese people by tribute, dark hole, then summon your big guy on a clear board.
“It was me Yugi….”
-Reverse Flash
Great video. Liked, and subscribed which I never ever do. What got me was the comparison of 12 duels VS a 20 minute master duels duel.

I remember Arkana very well actually, I love his Red Dark Magician better than any other art. I hadn't bought cards in over 10 years, but when they actually released that card in Yugi's Legendary Decks I had to buy it.
"madly pathetic cards" *shows off doron, one of the best early game cards in sacred cards.*
That secondary attribute circle I believe originates from the first Yugi vs Pegasus duel in the Duelist manga. Specifically how Illusionist Faceless Mage beats Dark Magician in chapter 3.
I had the sequel to this and all I remember is getting on a train getting totally stomped on

Funnily enough, Nightmare Troubadour does the same thing story-wise, but with the Noah stuff added in and Pegasus being some back-alley weirdo.
When I wasn’t playing Pokémon with my friends, this was the game I was playing over and over
Please do a review of Reshef as well! This was so nostalgic!
I love the fact that that during the Joey vs Yugi duel, Kaiba throws a blue-eyes at a dude, stabbing him in the hand. In the manga, of course.
pAK IS BACK
Had this growing up. I could get absolutely nowhere in it, advancing the game is extremely cryptic and I didn't know how to properly play yugioh.
11 Sacred Cards Game Matches to 1 Master Duel Game.
This was a fun trip down memory lane! Im subscribing to see more content!!
There was a funny gamecube yugioh where you sort of rule a duel monster army. It was so weird.
They should make yugioh games like this now days. Have the rules and everything based on the anime and have cards have effects based on that. I had more fun playing this game than ones based on the real tcg.
I can't wait to see your vid on the sequel
Its a quick game you can be it in like 2 hours if you know where to go and how to build a deck, one of my favorite yugioh games
I love this game too! It was the first Yu-Gi-Oh game I ever finished! I even have a let's play of it on my channel!
I was so sad upon hearing his death out of nowhere and what's worst for me is he died during my birthday. Thanks Kazuki Takahashi
So i bought this game because i loved the yugioh show (enough that my first ever email was yugioh themed) but i never got into the card game when i was younger. So this was my basis of understanding cards. I then recently got into watching yugitibers for nostalgia and i had my entire mind blown when i learned a lot of the really shitty cards in this game had actual effects and even saw competitive play because of them.
I played this game when I was VERY little and even I never noticed the type advantage feature. This game was alright to play and I personally enjoyed it.
10:39 or even better, see how many matches you can win while ANY master duel opponent sets up their first turn
i actually think the fiend/dream attributes may be a reference to how magic works in the earlier manga.
if i recall correctly, it goes as follows: white magic beats demons and devils, demons/devils beat illusionists, illusionists beat dark magic, dark magic beats white magic.
naturally white magic is light and dark magic is, well, dark. i think illusionists and demons/devils could have been translated into dream and fiend. even if not, it's a cool coincidence!
There will be no artistic genius like Lazuli Takahashi for me. Rest in peace.
Omg you unlocked memories i didnt know i had from this gane
Ah I didn't know this game existed, I did grow up playing Yugioh Nightmare Troubadour, which is basically this game but with the story more fleshed out and with the proper card game mechanics. Though it starts with you not really Knowing any of the Yugioh characters. Did love that game though.
I still maintain that the day a dueldisc is created.
I will be greater than zarc.
This game and franchise.
Has literally been my childhood and it never left me.
I still have my damn deck
I so desperately want more games like this where your oc dude just outshines the the main character of a story. Make it as non canon as possible
I have Yu-Gi-Oh Eternal Duelist Soul for GameBoy Advance and I still break it out to this day. Granted, I also have the codes for all the cards so my deck is stacked with high-attack or high-defense, no-tribute cards (like cards with 1900 attack, etc. or Big Shield Gardna, etc.)
Back in the day, I remember my parents freaking out when I printed off 20+ pages of card codes and I learned real quick that stacking my deck with all "the best" cards left no room for tributes and then I was like, "Wait, why would I tribute cards good enough to hold up on the field just to bring in a slightly better card - thus giving the poor AI enough time to field multiple monsters?" And thus my cheese strategy was born. I know I couldn't take that to any kind of real-world game but I never owned even one Yu-Gi-Oh card (my parents learned their lesson with Pokémon lawl) so that one game is really my only gateway to the world of actual D-d-d-d-d-duels. And I'm happy to share in the nostalgia.
I played a different RPG Yugioh GBA game. I never knew there was another one! I'ma have to pick this one up.
Who doesn't remember that guy? I don't even know who he was, but I remember that part of the show fo sho.
Loved the video please make a part 2
the File City soundtrack got me man..
8:42 so this is what naruto was doing in that 2 year skip into shippuden, the character in the back looks almost identical to him
i still remember beating yugi with exodia.... in dungeon dice monsters.
okay that master duel comparison wasn't fair your opponent was play ROCK WARRIOR and i'm nearly sure you were playing the structure deck
great video tho i hope this game gets a remaster
Whenever I think about replaying Reshef of Destruction, I have to remind myself how unplayable it really is. Maybe I'll play this instead.
I remember finishing this game in an afternoon, but I don't remember anything else about it.
dude if you never tried, tag duels is a really good yugioh rpg for the same kind of game with the actual rules.
You mean tag force on the PSP?
@@GTADroneTours ye
Man can’t believe i never got to use Ra here. I really want to hear your opinions on RoD and how OP everyone else is compared to here. Earned my sub.
You should try comparing a Master Duel at the meta level to this game.
Individual turns might still be long and complicated at that skill level, but duels themselves are literally decided in one or two turns. It's kind of nuts.
