JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R

Yu-Gi-Oh! master duel
genre: card game, strategy | developer: Konami | release date: January 19, 2022 | model: Free2Play | Age rating: USK from 6
What kind of game is this? Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is a game based on the popular anime and manga Yu-Gi-Oh. The title relies on the same gameplay as the franchise’s trading card game.
You collect Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, assemble a deck and use it to battle other players. The game also offers you a short campaign including a tutorial.
Developed by Konami, the game launched in January 2022 and had an average of 15,945 players on Steam as of November 2022. The high of the month was even 32,915 (via SteamCharts). Of the three games on this list, Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel the highest player counts on Steam. At 77%, the majority of the more than 53,000 Steam reviews are also positive.
A plus for players is the fact that it is an official and free Yu-Gi-Oh! game. So fans of the card game can put together decks of cards in the digital version of their hobby.
However, one point of criticism from players is the game’s meta. Players would set up long combinations and want to complete a match in as few moves as possible. As a result, you sometimes have to wait for minutes until the move is complete before you can act yourself.
But probably the biggest point of criticism is the game’s real-money shop, because it offers the opportunity to get good cards quickly. A Pay2win accusation is floating in the air here.
On the other hand, the game’s crafting system can be used to put together a good deck without spending a lot of money. Pay2win only really works when someone wants to own a variety of different decks. In general, Yu-Gi-Oh! Have Master Duel without spending a penny.
