Yugioh's Insanely Difficult Game - Reshef of Destruction

Hope you all enjoy the video, and please consider leaving a comment and like on the video :)

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."

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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.

Grandpa Muto be making bank on these young duelist.😺

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.

I. Hate. This. Game. Duelists of the Roses for Life!

"Gaming isn't a one size fits all. Because while anyone can get into any game, that doesn't mean that every game has to be for every one." -Manga Kamen. Beautifully said. I agree wholeheartedly. Awesome intro.

GGs for the playthrough, and thanks for the vid! Reshef is the Kaizo mod before Kaizo mods, and was pretty satisfying to beat. Biggest surprise was that a starting deck capacity only run was possible, and how strong the zero-cost cards really are (like Inexperienced Spy basically being Skill Drain). Somewhat mitigates that difficulty, but not much. Biggest tip i have for anyone, with very minor spoilers, the 2 best grind spots: 1st spot, for most of the game, including the beginning: Yugi. Start a new game, add all your fire monsters to the deck, ez wins. Might still lose to the occasional Sangan or Exodia head, but Mushroom Man is the main threat, and he loses to fire. The reward for each duel is a chance at an Exodia piece, or Spellbinding Circle (or Kuriboh..) For the 2nd, yet absolute best grind spot, that's both mandatory and missable: When a certain "robed figure" asks to "play a game", you'll face 6 consecutive duels you must win to proceed with the main story. At this point, if you win up to 5 duels and then exit the area, the duel count resets. This is key, because each of these five duels rewards 2 cards (with a chance at the 999 cost rituals), and each opponent has only 2000 life points. Quick games + good rewards, but once the 6th duel has been won, this opportunity is lost for good, and it's a grind spot that beats anything else the game offers. Well, thanks again for the vid, Reshef deserves the love (and hate)!

And I was dumb enough as a teen to raise my Duelist Level to 999 and Domino to 500,000 just to have Thousand Eyes-Restrict in my deck. Without cheats. “How the fu-?!” Endgame has Hall of Eternity with 60,000 LP duelists that give a lot of Domino and they also make raising Duelist Levels bearable. I spammed Ra (Phoenix Mode) Discard to bring its Battle Mode onto the field to win duels against them. That’s how.

I remember as a kid, I grind the heck out of this game in the GBA, using all my time when I was done with homework. It was hell but I knew I could beat it. I even learn of the Ra cheat code to get Phoenix Mode and knew there was a chance... then my brother took the game (it was his) and I never finished it. So years later I try again in some website that had the game emulated, grind like never before and then the site erased my save data. ... Then I got the emulator and played the game twice, the vanilla and this mod (the second time making a fanfic version of this fanfic game for my fanfic story) and I really love the story of the game, I love the side stories and wish there were more. The issue was the grind and the unfairness, especially since the game will force you to add the Gods into your deck so unless you have the right cards to summon a God, you bricked and WORST if its Sphere Mode and regular Ra. I really like this game as much as I like the Tag Force series. It's a beloved game and I wish Konami did more Yugioh games like this but no, just Master Duel and my laptop can't even play it and it's also unfair if you don't have gems to make a deck for the meta. So then Duel Links which... meh. It's better but not by much.

I love watching these videos. I get to learn aboit games I didn't even knoe existed!

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.
