Yu-Gi-Oh!: Power of Chaos - Yugi the Destiny

Moby ID: 11365

Description official descriptions

Yu-Gi-Oh! comes to the PC in Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos: Yugi the Destiny. The game is set up as a card battling game without any extra genres added in such as RPG elements or adventure elements that are part of other Yu-Gi-Oh! games.

You have one person to battle in this game - Yugi. You start the game with a deck of 40 cards and no extras and must win battles against Yugi in order to get new cards to improve your deck.

The game's battles are set up as either a single battle, or a match battle. The match battles take much longer as you have to win (or lose) more than once before you end the match. In the single battle, you either win or lose once and then you can play another battle if you want. With the match battle, however, you can use a side deck to trade cards in and out of your deck (if you have some) in order to improve your deck based on what you see your opponent has for cards.

Good game, but limited

The Good
The graphics in the game and the animations are really nice. Seeing cards that are destroyed exploding into pieces or seeing the table turn different colors when using a table effect card like Yami is really nice.

The gameplay is really good. The battles are easy to do, though challenging to win.

The tutorial is very good at explaining things, which is very good for new players. Since it highlights items and explains those items clearly, it is one of the better tutorials you will find.

Winning cards to build your deck is really nice. Even though that's pretty standard in Trading Card Games, it is still a nice addition in the game.

The Bad
The sounds get VERY annoying. Every battle, you have to listen to Yugi say something out of a list of perhaps three things and can't skip it. Then, after every battle you have to again listen to him say something out of a list of about three things for if he wins and three things for if you win. You quickly get tired of waiting for him to stop talking. Also, during the battle, Yugi talks using a short list of things he says. It also gets tiring to listen to him talking during the game. Short grunts when you damage him are fine, but having him say "I end my turn" after every turn, or longer comments such as "There must be something I can do, but what?" get to be a pain. If you could skip those or turn them off, it wouldn't be so bad. You can turn off your sound, but you still have to wait until the talking is done to continue playing.

You only get to battle Yugi and he always seems to have the same deck of cards. After awhile, you just get tired of him. It would have been nicer to battle various people with very different deck setups. When you play the match games, you get to use a sideboard to swap in cards for the following round... but when you already know his deck, there is no real need for the sideboard. You should already have set your deck up to beat him without needing to use a sideboard to change your deck after learning what your opponent has for cards. Although Yugi's deck does change over time, the changes are not that great, so it is pretty easy to know what he'll have in his deck.

The Bottom Line
Get rid of the sounds and add more decks/players to battle against and the game would be perfect. Other than those problems, the game is a really fun Trading Card Game to play and will get you interested in playing Yu-Gi-Oh! if you aren't already.

I definitely suggest this game as one of the better Yu-Gi-Oh! games you can currently play.

Trivia

A demo version of this game was packed with issue 9 of Viz's Shonen Jump manga magazine. In fact, that was the ONLY place you could actually get the demo!

No differences really exist from the two versions, except that (obviously) the full version has extra goods.
