Shameless cash grab
The pull rates are as awful as they come. The gems are over priced when you can buy the actual cards cheaper. It’s insane ur not guaranteed at least one UR every 10 packs. It would quite literally cost me a thousand dollars to make the deck I have irl that costed maybe 300 bucks. That is actually insane.
Total manipulated game and awful balance
The most frustrating TCG online game, the coins and start hand are 1000% controlled to increase your online time. You are REQUIRED to spend money on new cards, if you stick with old cards, they give you very hard time. I got so raged when I realize they are controlling my start hands and coins. It affects my daily life already. If you want to keep mental health, please get away from this manipulated game. Otherwise you will become more and more cynical and lose your sanity eventually.
Bad Gameplay
This game is good but not realistic, it forces you to draw bad cards and it is not random. I never draw the cards I need and when I do my opponent has the counter , or my opponent plays for 5 minutes sets up multiple negates where I can’t even play the game, I’m not a bad player either this game is very rigged . Please fix the random number generator and make it more realistic.
Mods
Many on here use gaming mods. It’s a shame the developers do nothing to stop it. Boycott this game until the developers do something about the cheating. Konami feel free to comment
Not worth it
No one has originality in this game I played 10 different rounds with different players every single one played a branded deck or a kashtira deck and the hand trap cards and quick effects like ash blossom are super annoying everyone plays the same thing and I kid you not sometimes you can’t even get a play through half the time
PLAY OTHER GAMES. Not AMERICAN!!!
Play Other Games. It will match you against your own deck to collect data that does NOT HELP YOU. Game is not AMERICAN. NOT AMERICAN!!
Just sad now…
Sadly the game has just degraded more and more over time..
this is the way Yugioh was meant to be played..
However THE STRATEGY for 90% of the player base at the moment has become stalling out the 300 second turn limit AS LONG as possible.. using I game mechanics to make the 300 seconds into 15-20minite long stall out turns… you CAN report this behavior, but only 3 times daily..
An ld there are NO REPERCUSSIONS
if you want to win, build a stall out deck and just troll.
1 star, this is a sad day for Yugioh

Trash game based on luck!
Going first format coin toss is “50/50” but guaranteed you win 20-30% Leaving you at a disadvantage. No wonder numbers are low. Probably the worst game to be invested in. Dont even waste your money with the high prices for little regards. They know how to make a bad game and They only care for money so probably shouldn’t spend. If only they cared to fix the problems

Unfair

. I drew blue eyes 9 out of 10 game’s which is highly impossible

The game is not new player friendly
The game has devolved into paragraphs on cards never knowing what effects are going off. And the primary mode is ranked.
Yugioh master deul
Bad game need more story get more gems this suck better need fix this game
Pay to win
This game is **** paid to win you pay $500 so you can get enough materials to make a deck that is actually viable and it’s ridiculous. You can’t even have fun without paying $100 minimum, never buy this app unless you want to spend money
Trash
They refuse to fix the game, everyone literally takes 45 minutes to take a turn and I get 9 seconds games full of hackers and don’t expect any help on anything because they refuse to help actually
Too one sided and too many mod players
This game is starting to suck even more now. Too many mod players and the game becomes one sided really quickly. I can run a top tier deck and somehow my opponent has every disruption on every play. Either the shuffling really sucks but when I play the actual game I don’t brick or draw the worst cards. Please fix this. Makes the game unplayable and unpleasant
People suck
Im just so sick of someone being able to end the game but instead of just taking their guaranteed attack they dont. Example, I was able to walk away, sort things across the room, fix my hair, brush my teeth, and my opponents turn is still going (happened minutes ago before my very eyes)
Bad convoluted game and bad reward progression
Not a good game to open up and play for a short or long time. Turns are long and game is convoluted mess even being automated is still unpleasant to play. This is coming from someone who dabbled in around meta stuff plenty of times.
Because of the above, reward progression just eats up your time. Do not spend time and money, it will be a waste.
I really want to curse Konami.

Hacks
Un montón de hacks y cuando vas a ganar se desconecta el internet no ay modo de reportar cuentas
Pay to win seasonaly though!!!
Unless you drop money into this game every update YOU WILL 100% NOT BE SUCCESSFUL!!! Today makes 54 seasons of me playing this goofy game and I’ve accomplished nothing on the free to play side of this game. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR ENERGY!!! Play any other card game or game in general than this stupid cheating game! I mean it sincerely! This is probably my 5th review on the game nothing changes and if anything they have my account black-listed because I speak on them. Don’t support the Konami franchise man we need to fight back! This just isn’t right!!!
Pay to Play
Still somewhat good but with bugs
Bugs
This is a fun game, however it seems like every time I play it, the game starts to malfunction. I will be in the middle of the duel and it starts to act up. This is disappointing because I really do like to play this game but if it continues to do this I would need to remove and stop playing. :(

Software can cause system damage!
It’s 5/7/26 for me at the moment of writing this,Pretty cool game..other than that this game app made my iPhone 12 Pro Max get internal damage and is not working even after hard resets. funny things is just got a new iPhone 13 and it froze on me too and I don’t mean the game froze as soon as I tried to get in my phone the touchpad won’t work it’s the only game in my phone at the moment it’s strange be careful and be aware this can happen to you! Don trust these apps!
Not as Fun anymore.
The game got too complicated that the old formats are not playable anymore. I can’t find the interest to even bother learning the new formats. There are more important things that are worth studying than this game.
Those that want to play it, it is not possible without hand traps and flood gates. Hard to build a deck without bricking with those.

Not a good game
Its funny how konami doesnt have monetary prizes in real life tournament but will try to suck you dry based on the need for gems. This game is actually so bad, highly recommend dueling books! You honestly need to spend money in order to win and even at that all of it is decided on your unfair coun flip advantage. You can get the same cards 15 matches in a row. I have cards in my deck i have yet to even see because of how terrible their gameplay is. Dont waste your time with this awful game.
Worst quality control
They have the worst player base and way they play cards and it isn’t something that makes you want to play often
Failed Game
This Game sucks I miss the old play style you can’t have 1 duel without your opponent taking 15 minutes to do 1 turn if I could I’d rate negative 5
Please revert the in game fonts to those in version 2.6!
These new in game fonts for version 2.7 look cheap, clumsy and were hastily added into the game, even causing some visual bugs. The old fonts were sleek, especially for LP numbers, please consider restoring them.
You call this garbage fun?
Cool…after returning from a 15 year hiatus from the game and now look what it’s become.
This is not the Yu-Gi-Oh! I remember.
I don’t know any other TCG where you lose the game on a coin flip deciding who goes first.
I don’t know of any other TCG that ends the game on turn 0 or has their turn during their opponents turn.
This game is a garbage fire now and so is the company that’s been “maintaining” this now dead game.

Lame
Ok I’m a OG player. Got this because I thought it would be fun to relive my youth YuGi days.. but once I figured this game out..and got into a duel.. the opponent took 10 minutes worth of special tributes and all..when it was my turn my opponent had 4 beast plus 1 in the middle.. all could wipe out in one move.. this game has sooo much potential.. but make it more difficult to pull these wild 10 move card special summons… that special abilities within the summoned.. OG Yugioh is not this.
Just no
Mid
Antigua
Me gusta más el Cross duel hay muchos inventos me gusta a la antigua
This game is trash
Monster that say effect won’t effect them get effects used on them cards that don’t mention anything about special summoning monsters summon monsters they have a no spell trap card as banned they have a herd on for magician decks the creators ruined the actual game giving cards special abilities that em aren’t even in the cards and taking away abilities that are actually written in the cards stupid don’t waste your time
Dead
Game died
Super Lag After Update
Recently started playing about 3 weeks ago and the game was fine. There was some update that no one asked for a few days ago and now it crashes or is incredibly slow.
Too Many Combos
Why am I waiting 300 seconds between turns for my opponent to play 500 different cards? I just downloaded the game and am learning to play when these players have 8000 LP combos in one turn against a rookie. Should have limits to the amount of cards you can play per turn. Thanks for the pay to play experience.
Best Yugioh game ever
I honestly love this game, I enjoy being able to play my favorite cards and duel will real people. However, it is a pain to get the cards I really like, so in my opinion if the cards were either cheaper or easier to get I would literally never stop playing this game. This game is amazing and I love it. Good job!
Stupid ppl ruined this game
Once you start winning the other ppl quit or stall. Stupid ppl ruined yugioh. Both in this game and real life.
Horrible Game
First and second turns opponents are already special summoning, fusion, same rinse and repeat. Had to delete the game cause it’s not fun.
It’s a gotcha game but somehow worse.
Game is slow and has lots of loading screens. Gameplay is just like the IRL card game but obtaining cards is worse. Pull rates suck, so building a deck from packs takes forever. You can craft the cards you need but obtaining materials and gems takes forever, and dismantling cards gives you only a third of what it costs to craft. Ranked play rewards are also lame, and the duel pass rewards are also terribly slow to collect enough to build or buy more cards and packs.
Just don’t play it. Save yourself time and effort. And don’t use real money on this.

Terrible connection
Half the game on mobile loses connection
Wtf dude.
The constant changes and now nulled cards, always having to rebuild decks much like having to rebuild outside of gaming..I don’t have a lot of time on this planet and we continue to make everything difficult for everyone. Congratulations you’re now apart of the problem. Uninstalled.
Don’t get the game
You are always pared with pros I hate it, I just threw all my cards out. Plus it makes me hate yugioh overall
