Summary

In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards, it's just as important to play your cards right as it is to get the right cards. This unique RPG gives you cards as weapons against the tough competition. You'll battle in a tournament hosted by Kaiba Corporation and win the powerful Egyptian God Cards. Based on events from the Yu-Gi-Oh! animated TV series, The Sacred Cards offers hundreds of cards, over 100 duelists and rivals, and unexpected twists and surprises.

History

The game starts when the player and his two friends, Yugi Muto and Joey Wheeler are preparing for the Battle City tournament of the card game, Duel Monsters. In order to win the tournament, the player must obtain six Locator Cards which are received after beating certain characters in Duel Monsters. After all of the locators are obtained, the player is entered into the finals. However, a mysterious person named Marik has a gang of card thieves, known as the Ghouls, which he is using to obtain the three Egyptian God cards to bring the world to darkness. Marik's Rare Hunters eventually take over the whole city. Even the owner of the card shop works for Marik and tries to kill the player. Then, the player meets Ishizu Ishtar, who challenges them to a game of Duel Monsters, to see if he is strong enough to wield an Egyptian God card. After she is beaten, the player must beat Seto Kaiba, the person that organized the tournament, in order to obtain the first God card. After the player gets into the finals which take place on a blimp, he Duels Marik. After Marik is beaten, it is found out that it was not really Marik. It was actually one of Marik's servants. The real Marik was the person the player met earlier in the game that became one of Yugi's friends: Namu. Then, Marik starts stealing the souls of those he beats. After Marik defeats Kaiba, the player must challenge Yugi. After Yugi is beaten, the player must face Marik. The game can't be saved after beaten so once the game is beaten, you will restart at the last save point.
