Ah yes, the game where you have to manually restore your life points after each duel. And it only gets worse from there.

Yugi: "Ishizu!? Why were you hiding in the bush like some creepy stalker?"

Ishizu: "Because shut up."

It's crazy this game managed to out bullshit Forbidden Memories.

Fun fact if anyone doesn't know: Yugioh World Championship 2009 2010 and 2011 have story modes and let you customize your sprite. There's not a whole lot of customization to it, but they let you run around and duel randoms, buy packs, etc.

My childhood trauma right there! Reshef of Destruction is one of the most baffling games I ever played. Like, in how it expects you to win 269 duels to add a single good card to your deck. I really hated this game. And I actually finished it.

This game is possibly the Hardest Yu-Gi-Oh game of all time.
This game is like an official Kaizo hack
Where even the random choice named characters can fold you like an omelet.

So a Yu-Gi-Oh game that kick you in the stomach for having the worst cards that you have no choice to use, a shopkeeper is so cheap that mind as well be Mr. Krabs as a Yu-Gi-Oh character, and a final boss that breaks the game like a twig.
Oh sign me up Banoca boy!

The post game content with the special duelists you can duel are kind of fun imo.

Also fun fact, Slifer the Sky Dragon can be affected by Dragon Capture Jar, which is hilarious to think about.

Grandpa Muto be making bank on these young duelist.😺

Something I don't see a lot of people talk about with this game: did you know it has a post-game? You can reload your save after beating Reshef and go to the Hall of Eternity. There you can fight some duelists you couldn't normally like regular Pegasus, Noah, and Simon (called Paradox for some reason). They have insane life point counts ranging from 30k to 60k, and the Pharaoh, Kaiba, and Yami Marik all have their Egyptian God Cards from Battle City, but you get around 10-20 Deck Capacity for beating them which is... something I guess. It's more for a challenge than any real reward.

Oh yeah it's Yu-Gi-Oh! time. The creator is chilling in heaven with Toriyama now.

The First 5D was also hard as balls, when random duelist dropped a fucking DAD on you or played lightsworns

Beautifully said. I agree wholeheartedly. Awesome intro.

26:15 the way this actually works is that you get 1 duelist level per every 3 deck capacity. Thats why when you get 1 duelist level the 1st time you beat a duelist since it gives you 3 deck capacity. This means, for example, if you wanted to run 1 copy of dark flare knight (which requires you to be duelist level 150) you would have to beat tristan a total of 232 times. And yes, just one copy because dark flare knight is LIMITED in this god forsaken game.

The only reason why I even know about Reshef in general is because he was the boss monster of the main villain of Capsule Monsters.

The first big difficulty curve is on the train with paniK, at least for me and I'm assuming many others

This game was rough, too hard in places and frustrated me a lot as a kid, i came back and beat it as an adult and realised i really liked it, unique story and cool optional what if scenarios, fun mechanics you HAVE to engage with if you want a chance of beating it, i genuinely love this game but its hard to suggest people play it because its so back breaking with its "rewards" and uneven difficulty

I was hoping you'd mention the field check after every action. It was a FREAKING nightmare.

Also, the only way I was even able to enjoy this game was with a GameShark like device, unlocked every card, max duelist level and max deck capacity the second I noticed how bullshit the difficulty spike was between Sacred Cards and this lol

I’ve been imagining what a modern Yugioh rpg would look like. I can imagine running around in Persona 5 and challenging people to duels instead of fighting.
