Up to forty cards are needed to duel and each card has a deck cost which is a value offered to a card based on its strength. The player aims to gather as many points as possible by defeating enemies and using the points to unlock powerful cards. The game takes place on a 7×7 table, and the player starts the game by creating his deck of cards and then jump into the competition with the aim to take down the rival players. This game is an embarassment given the quality of PS2 games coming out today.īuy Yu-Gi-Oh! Deulists of the Roses from Amazon.Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses is a Card, Single-player and Multiplayer Simulation developed by Konami for the PlayStation 2 platform. Perhaps worth it for the incredibly-dedicated Yu-Gi-Oh! fan, but the rest of us should demand something better next time. You do get a semi-cool 3d "quick battle" when the cards meet, but even that is on a boring background and lasts maybe 5 seconds. It's sort of interesting but can be extremely frustrating, especially for new players.
The indicator symbols look like impressionistic paintingsĬardplay is new and unusual, with monsters moving across the board and facing each other on different terrain types. And for sound, you get the same droning loop of synth music again and again. Even the important numbers are hard to decipher. You can barely tell what element something is or anything else. It's hard to learn the game when your monsters are stomped easily left and right.Īt least you might have pretty things to look at and listen to while you die, right? Wrong! The graphics for the cards are awful. You are often dealt awful cards that even skilled players find it hard to win with. Problem 1 - there's no practice! You go from that slideshow right into a nasty battle that many find difficult to win. You choose a default deck and take it into "battle" as you try to move across England. I don't recall Henry looking like this in the paintings. You really need a walkthrough to print out to have it all available and ignore their slideshow. And instead of letting you practice the commands and repeat them, it's a slideshow-like sequence where you just keep hitting X. While they go over every step in the game, it's one gigantically long rush of about 1/2 hour or more. I love English history, and I also enjoy card games. The houses of Lancaster and York are vying for the throne of England, and only cards can settle it. Somehow, Konami managed to ruin a game despite the odds.įirst, this PS2 game takes the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! and transplants it into the middle ages, with the War of the Roses. The series is amazingly popular and the card game can be quite fun.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists of the Roses should have been great.
