Whats the difference between Legacy of the Duelist and Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution?

[JLHartsock]

I wanna buy one of them but I don't know what the differences are.

Link Envolution has more cards and AI duels, as well as the latest rules. That's the main difference.

Is it worth the extra price over the original?

Consider this: the original with all its DLCs costs much higher and has less content than this version.
So I'd say yes. Just my opinion.

If you've yet to buy either and want a single-player mode worth a damn, Link Evolution or bust. If you already bought the original and all DLC, or want a multiplayer mode worth a damn, it gets a bit more questionable. (Also, there's the use case of wanting to play the real game on the bus, where the Switch version is your only real option)

- New version has "link" option. i dont like it so i refunded it
- Old version currently follows a January 2015 banlist. Outdated cards, and thats why i like it.
- Campaign: really enjoyable!
- Multiplayer: great, if u have friends

I think Old version is more enjoyable. I have ~ 1500 hrs on steam and sometimes still playing with friends

The link option doesn't really change anything. I got both versions and i kinda regret buying the new one. Grinding again through these 500 duels sucks. There should have been an option to import the old game.

Link Evolution supports the latest field and rules (MR5), and a new ban list. Also it has 10,027 total cards while the old one has 7,484 cards with all the DLCs included.

the only difference is the price, the both games themself having same problems, no1 playing online, ranks full of cheaters and both communities on steam are dead.

You won't see them in a duel, just on the leaderboards with more points than it is physically possible to get in the amount of time the game has been out.

You can cheat your score on leaderboard on Steam and u could to do that on playstation version too. No one really cares about that. "Enjoy the game" and "play with friends" are the most important things.
If you intend to go in solo, then this game is not for you. Playing against AI - would be really boring.

To each their own. I do not plan to touch the multiplayer and had fun playing against AIs up to the point I got all their cards in triples.

If you're only here for the multiplayer, then go get one of the fangames that I'm not going to name because Konami is theoretically supposed to be looking at this board. Their single player varies from significantly worse to outright nonexistent, but you get a more up-to-date cardpool and dramatically more quality of life features. Just... stay away from Dawn of a New Era. Everything I said about fangames still applies to it, but it's the next worst option and also allegedly a security hazard.

Is the story for both games the same? If so I’ll probably just buy the newer one.

pretty sure, just goes for longer in the newer one. it's just weird because it gives you some link cards right off the bat, which can feel odd. Also it has some proper mod support for what it's worth lol
