The game uses an overhead RPG structure for exploration, dialogue, and event progression. Combat is handled through turn-based Yu-Gi-Oh! duels built around drawing, summoning monsters, using spells and traps, and managing tribute requirements. Winning duels advances the story and rewards new cards, while deck construction determines how well players can handle different opponents and battle styles.
