A free-to-play duel simulator with professional production values sounded awesome, but would it lean as deeply into the gacha-type gameplay system of its sister game? They have Duel Links, which has been around for several years and is meant to be a speedier, condensed version of the main game, but its history left players divided when Master Duel was announced last year. Konami themselves have never released a competing product, instead sticking with a series of one-off and primarily single-player titles that allowed the player to duel against a long series of AI-controlled opponents. These applications are free to use and allow users to construct decks out of any cards in the game and lobby up with their friends to test their skills.
In that time, players have ended up handling the store shutdowns in one of two ways – playing using their paper cards and a webcam against people on Discord or using one of several unofficial “duel simulators,” also on Discord. During the pandemic, most in-person events have been canceled, including the first three Championship Series events scheduled for this year. I’ve been an on-off Yu-Gi-Oh! player since my early childhood, having picked the game back up in earnest a few months ago when my local tournaments opened up for regular play again.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel has somehow violated all common sense. Common sense is to assume the worst when a game gets suddenly dropped in the middle of the night after months of buildup and no previous announcement about a release date.
