Each of the many opponents, once defeated, yields a bunch of cards to add to an ever-expanding collection.

With that said, the presentation is functional and doesn’t work to the detriment of the game itself, and there is a lot of game in this downloadable title. It goes without saying that this doesn’t give the characters much personality. In the single player game players take on a range of characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, but this will only matter to fans of the anime, because the game itself doesn’t give these characters a personality the only way to tell one opponent from the next is a static and voiceless profile picture that may as well be from a Twitter account. In this game the card art is tiny and difficult to make out, and the virtual table where the duels play out is sterile.

From the gorgeous card art of Magic the Gathering and Might & Magic: Duel of Champions, to the personality of Hearthstone and even the fully-animated glory of Infinity Wars, the CCG genre is, oddly, one of the most competitive from an aesthetics point of view.Ĭompare this to the purely functional Millennium Duels. The other common trait to CCGs is that they all look to one-up one another in terms of the sheer beauty of the user interface and art work. In an era where collectible card games (CCGs) are typically free-to-play and focused on multiplayer, Millennium Duels has an up-front cost, doesn’t demand microtransactions after that, and is more focused on the single player experience.Īs a result, this game feels positively old school, an impression that isn’t improved by the overly simple presentation. The game continues to be a hit with players around the world.Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium Duels is an odd game. In 2016, it released ' Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links' for mobile and PC platforms.

It has also distributed a trading card game since 1999. Since 1998, Konami Digital Entertainment has released a long line of console titles based on the series. Starting with the original ' Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters,' numerous anime adaptations have also been broadcast on TV Tokyo, including the latest series, ' Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens,' which began in May 2020 to launch an exciting new era for the franchise. It currently distributes the Winning Eleven series (Chinese title: '実況足球') and other titles in China.Ĭreated by Kazuki Takahashi, ' Yu-Gi-Oh!' is a popular manga that has been serialized in Shueisha Inc.'s ' Weekly Shonen Jump' magazine since 1996. The company moved into the mobile games market in 2014, striking a partnership with Konami Digital Entertainment in May of that year.
