Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5 is the fifth installment of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force series, and the final installment to be released internationally.

Features[edit]

Rules[edit]

The game uses an altered form of the March 2010 Forbidden and Limited Lists by default.

System[edit]

A data install function is used to eliminate load times.

Previous cinematics from Tag Force 4 are kept. New cinematic Summoning and attack sequences have been added for "Black-Winged Dragon", "Majestic Red Dragon", "Majestic Star Dragon", "Tech Genus Blade Gunner", "Chevalier de Fleur", "Machine Emperor Skiel ∞", "Machine Emperor Wisel ∞", "Machine Emperor Grannel ∞", "Infernity Doom Dragon","Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste", "Red Nova Dragon", and "Shooting Star Dragon". However, the Machine Emperors sequences only appear if they are summoned by the effects of "Wise Core, "Sky Core" and "Grand Core". The game's loading screen features Witch of the Black Rose in different poses, though on rare occasion Kuribon can show up instead.

Connectivity with the Playstation Network is supported.

The Destiny Draw system is retained.

Players can have up to 200 different Decks and may import ones created in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 4.

There is a new minigame which involves picking out one card from about half a dozen choices that will form the required Synchro with the card already displayed.

Also, the Duel Statue makes an appearance outside of the cardshop. The statue is charged when you receive duplicates of a card you have already reached the limit on (which is now 9 instead of 99). When fully charged (signified by the glowing ambiance it gets), it gives you an extra copy of a card you have that you pick.

The item machine has been changed from Tag Force 4 - rare figures appear much less frequently now, but the machine has also been set to always give a rare figure each time it is first used after the player spends a total of 100000 DP in the shop.

Any DP earned in Free Duel Mode is now halved.

UMD recognition[edit]

By using game's UMD Recognition feature with the previous Tag Force games, the following can be unlocked:

  • In the United States, UMD Recognition with the Tag Force 1, Tag Force 2 and Tag Force 4 games unlocks the cards mentioned above as well as the alternate storylines of Yusei, Akiza, Leo and Luna.

Cards[edit]

The game features more than 4727 cards, including cards up to Starstrike Blast, Duel Terminal - Raid of the Inverz!!, Structure Deck: Dragunity Drive, and Extra Pack Volume 3.

Cards can be obtained through sixty different packs in the card shop.

Starting Decks[edit]

Unlike the previous games, the player now begins the game with two pre-built Decks and their Deck Recipes.


New Game Original cards[edit]

The following cards from the anime are made playable for the first time in this game. Cards from the first four games that were anime originals are also present but not listed here.

Bolded cards have been printed in the OCG since this videogame was released.

Downloadable content[edit]

Characters[edit]

This game features mostly the same characters as Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 4. New additions include the Fake Jack Atlas, Lazar, Vizor, Sherry LeBlanc, Primo, Lester, Jakob and Carly Carmen.

Characters
First Tier
  • 005 Leo (Normal/Duel Academy)
  • 006 Luna (Normal/Duel Academy)
Second Tier

Non-duelist[edit]

  • Martha is able to reset a character's hearts so the player can re-view their storyline, or to change them into an alternate character (like poncho-version Yusei), and also allow you to edit your Partner's Deck before you have earned the right to do it by paying 10,000 DP.
  • Blister is able to give the player information on where main characters are for several days, as well as letting the player put a tracer on a minor duelist character, so he can find them in the city to partner up with them.
  • Stephanie gives the player a drink at "Cafe la Geen" that sometimes pleases his partner and increases his hearts. She blushes whenever the player visits while partnered with Jack.
  • Zora will randomly give you something that she found, usually an item or 200 DP, sometimes telling them to use it to help Yusei.
  • The MC is randomly hiding in one area on the map, and changes location constantly. If you manage to find him, he can give you a prize of rare cards, a lot of DP, gift items, or increase a partner's Heart meter.
  • Kurumizawa works in the shop, and the item machine is located next to the shop.

Bugs[edit]

  • When activating "Future Fusion" and revealing a Fusion Monster with it, it can instead show a different random card from the player's Extra Deck. This is a display issue only and the card resolves normally.
  • The game follows OCG rulings, but the text provided for the cards comes from the TCG and it was not rectified for cards ruled differently between territories, such as "Red Screen".
    • Note that the effects of misprinted cards, such as "Liberty at Last!", resolves properly.
  • "Dragunity Aklys" follows the workings of its earliest print - its last effect will activate regardless of how it was sent to the Graveyard as an Equip Card, whether it be by destruction or by game mechanics.
  • The summon animations for "Wisel", "Skiel" and "Grannel" will not register in your photo gallery, regardless of whether you have fullfilled the requirements to unlock them, due to a programming oversight. In the Japanese translation, the summon animation was cued when the card is question was summoned via their respective Cores, whilst in the International release this was moved to when the final piece of the '-el' series is Summoned (the Carrier monster). Hoewever, the programming was not changed to reflect this and the game does not register you having watched the summon animation.
  • The effect of "Spirit's Invitation" reads: "Each time your Spirit monster returns to your hand, select 1 monster on your opponent's side of the field and return it to its owner's hand. Pay 500 Life Points during each of your Standby Phases. If you do not, destroy this card." However, when a Spirit returns to your hand, your opponent chooses which card to return to their hand, as dictated by its effect in the OCG.
  • Sometimes, when you fill a character's Heart, but you continue to positively interact with him/her (in the same day), the next Heart will start to fill (even though you haven't done the event of the previous filled Heart). In the next days, if you try to complete that Heart, it will empty with the first interaction you do with him/her. You have to check it every day until the Game allows you to fill that Heart again.
  • Sometimes, when you don't go straight to the event site of your partner (marked with "!"), and you visit another places and duel with another character's (in the same day), the completed Heart of your partner will vanish, the mark of the event will disappear in the map and the Game will not let you fill that Heart again (regardless of how many positive interactions you do with him/her in the next days via gifts.) To rectify this, you need to invite that person to the tag team duel tournament. Winning a minimum of one tag duel in the tournament will allow you to resume filling that person's heart.
  • In the European version only, if you ask to Martha to change Yusei to his Poncho version without finishing Yusei's first story, Poncho Yusei will never appear in the map. As you cannot find Yusei to change him back, if you saved the Game at this point, you will never complete either of Yusei's stories.
  • If the Defense Position effect of "Morphtronic Vacuumen" is used, and "Vacuumen" is destroyed later, the monster that was used as an Equip Card will not be destroyed and remains meaninglessly in the Spell/Trap Card Zone.
  • When "Final Countdown" has been activated and is in effect, you may not be able to activate optional card effects that resolve in the End Phase, such as the ability of "Stardust Dragon" to Special Summon itself from the Graveyard.
