You could duel, tag duel or play mini-game with them which increase affection (to progress with the story) and earn DP to spend on booster pack for cards. The game flow in this game was really really nice! You started by choosing a partner, and then you will be spending your school life together at the academy everyday, from morning till night. Thus dueling against them with limited card option still felt reasonably fun. Duel felt nice, where combo took a lot more effort rather than summoning left and right, or cards getting destroyed everywhere. I enjoy the effort it took for me to just summon that one strong monster and the satisfaction it gave me for doing so. So I go back to Tag force 3, which is still in the GX era and quite like the meta and pace of the duel here. It's not hard, it's just wasn't fun, seeing your opponent special summon 3+ monster, synchro and shit and you can't because you need more cards. So you're kinda stuck with either the shitty starter deck or the deck you made with limited options you had. Thing is, with how the game progression work, it may took you a long while before you could make them. Of course, that wouldn't be a problem if you could fight them with some combo deck too. Besides the duel wasn't that much fun either, everbody is using heavy combo deck with broken cards left and right. It took too long to progress, and if you want to make it faster, you had to keep doing the boring repetitive stuff before dueling.
I won't recommend it because it's sooo boring. Somehow, after playing it around 3 days, I put it away.
Skip if you only want to know about Tag Force 3Īnyway, at first I tried to get into Tag Force 5 because it was the latest in the series (with official eng) and had the most cards up to the 5D's era. Well, of course there's duel links but I prefer single player games so I could collect every card at my pace, rather than locked behind paywall.
So I recently installed PPSSPP emulator on my android phone, and thinking "wow, I could emulate a YGO game and play it on the go!".
