Finally, cards are unveiled and the resolution of effects, attacks, and defenses are done. The game is different from the series, and other Yu-Gi-Oh! Titles in the way that cards move, and by the presence of the “Deck Leader” which is a card needed to be able to play the game, since it contains your Leader Points. Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses is an older title and the visuals clearly display it. Even at the time of its release its graphics weren’t impressive and were more in line with PlayStation One games. Combat itself is confusing at first, but once rules and victory or defeat conditions become clear, the game becomes very easy. The card game itself doesn’t look very good, spells and monsters look fine but the CG animated snippets just break immersion. Sound-wise the game is great, even if the soundtrack feels bland at times, relying on one or two memorable tracks.Īs was the case with Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories on PS1, The Duelists of the Roses is a true love it/hate it kind of game. Fans of the franchise will scream bloody murder when they see this score, while casual gamers are gonna think the grade is at least a couple points too high. But here's the bottom line: While far from great and way too complicated for its own good, Duelists is reasonably deep and ultimately pretty satisfying. Players willing to put 20-plus hours into learning the rules of this crazy card-and-board-game hybrid will have a decent time. After all, the monster battles look fantastic and the game's strategic elements make for a surprisingly addictive experience. The problem is, it takes forever to learn how to play the damn thing.
