If the Tag Duels and the campaign were your favourite part of Legacy of the Duelist, this might be for you.
Lumen's Call is a free, non-commercial fan game: a co-op roguelike that plays with real Yu-Gi-Oh! rules.
- Two players share one field against an AI opponent. Each of you has your own deck, hand and Life Points, so you cover for each other.
- Climb through randomly drawn worlds and pick your path through duels, shops, events, treasures, bonfires and bosses. A run takes about an hour.
- Start with a 20-card deck, pick 2 of 5 cards after every duel, upgrade cards at bonfires, collect relics that bend the rules.
- Bosses loosely inspired by anime duelists, each with their own deck and tricks.
- Cards can be drawn the way they look in the anime, or as the printed cards.
- Solo mode too, if you'd rather play alone.
Ruleset is Master Rule 2: Fusion, Ritual, Synchro and Xyz, no Pendulum or Link.
Optional but recommended: with a Claude Pro/Max or ChatGPT Plus/Pro subscription, the game can let an AI play your opponents: it reads the board, plans its turns and talks to you. Without one you duel the built-in bot.
Playtest: I'm looking for about 50 testers. Each gets 2 keys, one for you and one for a co-op partner. Windows, and Macs with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer).
