Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction
Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction, known in Japan as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 8: Reshef of Destruction (遊戯王デュエルモンスターズ８ ～破滅の大邪神), is a Game Boy Advance game by Konami based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise.
The Story
The Millennium Puzzle is missing. The player must help Yugi Muto (spelled Yugi Mutou in the English manga) find it and reclaim the ability for Yami Yugi (Dark Yugi) to appear. It appears that Reshef the Dark Being is behind the mysterious events and plans to shroud the world in darkness. The player travels with Yugi and Joey Wheeler (Katsuya Jonouchi in the English manga and Japanese versions) to save the planet from Reshef. To do so, they need the 3 Egyptian God cards, but they have been sealed in stone. Freeing them will require the 7 Millennium Items, which have been scattered around the world. Thus, the player must travel around the world and find the Millennium Items to acquire the God cards and stop Reshef.
This game may appear more difficult than "Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards" because when you lose Life Points, you don't gain them back, so you have to go to the computer in the main character's room to restore them. Also, cards are harder to obtain, since you don't get very much money and your Duelist Level hardly ever increases during a duel. Additionally, some cards take a Duelist Level of 999 to put in your deck, which is the max level.

This game and its prequel, Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards are also the first games in which all three Egyptian Gods are available to the player. When you have completed the game, Ishizu will ask you to hand over the God cards, so that they can be sealed again. After giving her the Gods, the player will still have them in their Deck or Trunk.
