The Yu-Gi-Oh! GX show follows the adventures of entrants to a Duel Academy and focuses on the pupils of the Slifer Red dormitory as they take on other students from the Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue dorms. The game mimics the competition between dorms perfectly as it follows events as the Duel Academy’s decides to hold a unique competition that allows the students to compete in teams of two. Depending on the player’s partner, users will earn rewards such as access to the lavish Duel Academy Island for a whole day.

A new way to duel, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force boasts an original tag team battle system that lets teams of two players duel each other, with each player holding their own unique deck of cards. Tag Force also features more cards than any Yu-Gi-Oh video game to date, allowing for all new deck and duel strategies as new cards from the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX decks are implemented.

The game’s many battles are highlighted with an updated duel field, complete with specific animations for each card, while players can also create their own duel puzzles for further card-based action. Multi-player functionality is also provided, and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force allows two players to compete wirelessly in single or tag duels, with players allying with a CPU co-player to take on a friend and their CPU partner, or joining forces with a CPU duelist against two CPU opponents – each taking alternative goes to attack their opponents.
