I question whether fans of the anime will care much either because, even though the game features characters from the show, it fails to do much interesting with them. It'll take you plenty of time to work through all of the story characters and events, but unless you've been watching the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, it's very unlikely that you'll care who these people are, or the situations that they've found themselves in. It seems like Zexal World Duel Carnival wants players to instead focus on the story mode, which would be fine if the story was in any way interesting. Yu-Gi-Oh! feels like a game of exceptions, rather than rules at times, and while this gives the game a vivid level of strategy that enables players to come up with really creative and innovative decks of cards, it's also not a game that's initially easy to get into, especially when it lacks a multiplayer mode to allow players to get their friends to ease them into the game, or even an adequate tutorial. There are all kinds of spells that break the rules in other ways. There are XYZ summons, which are powerful critters that force you to sacrifice a couple of regular monsters to create one super being. There are special summons, which allow you to break the game's usual one summon per turn rule. So the basic goal is to have the more powerful monsters on the field, destroy the enemy's monsters, and then whittle his/ her health down to zero.Д«ut things quickly become more complex. These monsters each have an attack and defence number rating, and can then be boosted with various spells, or hindered (or destroyed outright) by traps. Players have a set amount of 'health' (8000 health points), and they use cards that they draw at random from a deck they have constructed to summon creatures to the play field to attack their opponents. The basic running of the game works like other CCGs.

I'm not sure I would have understood what's going on it I hadn't spent plenty of time playing the PlayStation 3 game ( Millennium Duels), which does offer a full tutorial system. It's possible to flick a switch and turn on a handy help mode that provides bits of advice as you're playing the game, and in the early stages of the story mode opponents are using very straightforward decks, but it's still likely to be overwhelming unless you're very, very experienced at other CCGs. well, you're not going to get a helping hand.

On the other hand, if you're new to the series than. There are over 5,500 cards in this game, meaning that if you're a veteran of the series, and have a favourite kind of deck that you like to play with, you'll be able to recreate it in this game. This is the first time the series has landed on the 3DS and it doesn't skimp in terms of capturing some of the key appeals of the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise. But lacking the multiplayer does mean that the game loses some of its soul and lasting value. In doing so it does succeed in accurately recreating a fairly complex game that now runs to literally thousands of cards and all kinds of rules and sub rules on a device that works well for card games. After all, we are talking about a genre in which a core part of the appeal is in pitching wits against a real human being.Д¬CGs are at heart games of strategy in which players attempt to compensate for an inherently random mechanic (drawing cards from a deck) and somehow dealing using whatever resources they are lucky enough to draw in order to defeat their opponent.ДЄnd yet that's precisely what Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carniaval on the Nintendo 3DS does - it takes one of the most infamous and popular CCG franchises and turns it into a single player only game. It seems really strange for a collectible card game (CCG) to be an exclusively single player experience.
