Judging "only" from what is on the thread (as I'm too busy atm to play the game

), it sounds interesting (expecially the minigame XD) but the mapping isn't all that great. It looks
way too empty. I suggest, if you haven't already, read a few of the mapping tutorails in the tutorial database. There are some pretty good ones in there.
Duelist Legends follows the story of Yuugiou from the very beginning to the very end, using a battle system and unique puzzles to progress the story.
Does this mean that this game follows the anime? Or are you talking about something completely different. You might want to clarify that.

You said that the menu system is going to be replaced. That's good. Yugi looks
way too cartoony in that image. It doesn't match the game or the sprites at all.
Also, why is he wearing bronze armor if it's a Yu-Gi-Oh! game? :S
