Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is a free-to-play digital collectible card game based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, developed and published by Konami for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Android, and iOS. [1]
It was initially released January 19, 2022 for consoles and PC to positive reviews and rapidly climbed to the top of the Steam charts. [2] [3] On February 6, Konami announced the game had been downloaded over 10 million times. [4] The game would later on be released in a few regions to iOS and Android January 26, 2022, with many more regional launches on February 2, 2022. [5]
Development of the title began in 2019 as a follow on from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, released in 2017. Konami wanted to develop a new game that would appeal to more experienced players, as opposed to Duel Links which was for more casual players. [6] During the development of the game, the idea arose of implementing a game mode that could be played alone, participating in duels against the AI. This eventually led to the implementation of Solo Mode in Master Duel. [6] The game's music was mainly composed by Yasunori Nishiki. [7]
The gameplay is a simulated version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. However, the game has a different Forbidden and Limited List and card release schedule [8] than the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG. This creates a different library of cards available to build a deck from.
You can play either single-player, known in game as Solo Mode, where you proceed through a story of the cards involved playing against a computer opponent. In Multiplayer there exists a casual, unranked matchmaking system and a competitive, ranked system allowing you to compete with other players' strategies. [9]
