[edit] Gameplay

[edit] Changes from Eternal Duelist Soul

This game has many obvious similarities to The Eternal Duelist Soul. The duel system is almost exactly the same, but there are a few differences.

[edit] Positive Changes

The musical score and sound effects are vastly improved
The menus and sub-menus are easier to navigate, and the menu skin is improved
You now have the capability to create three separate dueling decks

[edit] Negative Changes

In EDS, the dueling field background changed to suit the Field Spell Card that was activated, while the background remains the same in this game
Sometimes the AI shows signs of "knowing" face down cards

[edit] Dueling Decks

The player can assemble three decks and can duel against a variety of computer opponents. The game features the first 1,108 cards released in Japan. There are 29 opponents in the game. Each opponent has different skills and decks revolve around a certain theme (Yugi=Basic, Exodia Rare Hunter=Exodia, Yami Yugi (Dark Yugi)=Ultimate, etc.).

[edit] Game Mechanics

The game has a steep learning curve; when a duelist has at least one copy of all 1,108 cards, they can choose to ignore the Limited List. However, the stronger duelists don't follow the Limited list either. For example, Simon the Exodia duelist has three of each of the 81.151.58.121 21:27, 11 February 2007 (UTC)Exodia parts in his deck, where normally a player may only have one. The AI is rather poor: if a player has a face-down monster with 2000 defence points, and the AI opponent has a monster with 1900 attack points, they will not attack as they "know" they cannot defeat the face-down monster. As well, an AI opponent will Tribute Summon as soon as possible, even tributing 1 monster to summon the exact same monster, or even a weaker monster than the original. Stronger duelists often have high requirements to be "unlocked" (available to duel): the final duelists in the game require the player have at least fifteen more wins than losses against every other duelist in the game.
