It's time to d-d-d-d-dddd duel!
Wow! Never as a child would I have ever imagined that as an adult I'd be making a post on a blockchain that rewards me cryptocurrency just to talk about Yu-Gi-Oh!
⬆️ Reading the above sentence still almost doesn't seem real.
Yet here I am, about to tell you about how I played the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game. Not in person, but on my PS5.
Where shall I begin...
In this video, I am playing a video game called Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of a Duelist, which was initially released back on 7/31/2015. An updated version of the same game with all of the DLC was released on 3/24/2020. Currently, you can find either one on the PS Store and other various digital game stores for around $20 and $40 respectively. I am actually playing the free trial version, which has some features locked such as the deck builder but still allows you to play many memorable battles from the lengthy campaign. This allowed me to, for the first time in years, experience the TCG that I grew up knowing and loving.
Before accepting that I had to play the bare-bones trial version of Legacy of a Duelist, I first attempted to play a game called Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links. You can find it on iOS, Android, and Steam, but Windows only. This game is free-to-play and I was hyped to get to play it and start building my own decks. To my dismay, I wasn't able to download it on my iMac. I also didn't feel like playing a game on my iPhone or iPad. Luckily the Legacy of a Duelist trial, which I had downloaded once before but never played, was awaiting on my PlayStation's SSD once again.
I really wish there was a play-to-earn NFT-based card game that was based on either Yu-Gi-Oh! or Pokémon, which are the only TCGs that I played as a child. Sadly that just isn't the case yet. We do have the delayed Pokémon TCG Live to look forward to eventually in 2022. That game looks freaking awesome, but we haven't heard anything about it being P2E. The same lack of P2E mechanics can be said about the three upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh! games that were announced in 2021, more on that here.
Out of the three new Yu-Gi-Oh! games, I am most looking forward to Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, which is going to be F2P. This game looks highly playable. I'll be sure to include a gameplay trailer for Master Duel at the end of this post. It's coming to all platforms, including next-gen, so I'll be playing it on PS5. The graphics are going to all be in glorious 4K with a brand new UI, animations, sounds, and cards. I seriously cannot wait to get my hands on this one. It is said to be out this winter. That means it could be released anywhere from December of 2021 through March of 2022. Let's hope this one is available sooner rather than later.
I am refraining from purchasing Legacy of Duelist because we are so close to the release of Master Duel. This is why I am so happy that I am at least able to refamiliarize myself with the way the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG plays thanks to the trial. I needed this to remind myself that trading card games can be a fantastic time.
I am going to be releasing more Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist gameplay videos over the next few days and weeks. I hope that you enjoy this one and feel free to let me know about your memories with the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG and anime.
