There is a single player mode to this, or rather a mode where you play against AI opponents. You can continue to do this to earn digital packs of cards and the like.

I did it. I did all of it. I may have gotten hooked on the TCG again. I may have just self-consciously put down one of those shiny plastic flip-coins they package in starter decks in order to grab my fidget cube instead to properly ...uh... fidget with. I blame TieTuesday for this newly-remembered addiction.

Still. There is a single-player mode, and I played it. I'm counting it even though there is not a "victory credits" or "ending" past a like, two second conglaturation.

It plays surprisingly solidly as a computerized frontend/server for an originally made-from-dead-trees card game. Things are smooth and relatively inoffensive, and the gameplay balance is just as whacked as you may have remembered if you ever played the game before. It doesn't crash constantly, which I think puts it ahead of most of the YGO frontends.

A few things to note:

1) I feel like anyone who opens real life booster packs to a TCG like a goddamn packet of soy sauce needs to be arrested for packaging assault.
2) If you give me a character creator with limited customization options, I will apparently make myself look like exactly the kind of person evening news scarepieces make you afraid of trading Pokémon with.
3) This only happened because I can't play Sonic Mania yet. I paid the money, I want the gaaaaame. Whyyy, Segaaaaa. :(
