Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5

'''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5''' is the fifth installment of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force series.

Rules
The game uses the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game Master Rules. Unlike the real game, it includes many cards that have appeared in the anime, that haven't been released in real life, the Dark Synchro Monsters and Egyptian Gods effects and rules are closer to their anime than real life counterparts.

The game follows the March 2010 Forbidden and Limited Lists by default.

System
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 Blaster", "Chevalier de Fleur", "Machine Emperor Skiel Infinity", "Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity", "Machine Emperor Grannel Infinity", "Infernity Doom Dragon","Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste", "Red Nova Dragon", and "Shooting Star Dragon". (Note: the Machine Emperors sequences only appear when they are on the field, as summoned by their "Core" monsters.) 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.

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.

Promotional cards
The following promotional cards were included with the game:
 * Fleur Synchron
 * Chevalier de Fleur
 * Liberty at Last

Sacred Knight Joan is a promotional card with the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5 Game Guide.

Bugs

 * When you play "Molten Destruction" the 3D field seems to have an error like it did in the previous version of the game.


 * When Sherry LeBlanc activates her Future Fusion spell card, everything resolves as it should be except that a card at random is shown when selecting the Fusion Monster to summon on the following two turns and it either shows Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier or Chevalier de Fleur. This also happens for the player.


 * There may be times in which your Extra Deck goes crazy by listing multiple copies of monsters you already have as well as when Synchro Summoning during your turn and checking that the Extra Deck has 15 monsters maxed out already.


 * Despite the rules pertaining to card costs and forced maintenance payments, a player will be paid to death by the cost of Red Screen if his LP are exactly 1000. The card does however, correctly destroy itself if the controller has less than 1000 LP. (Unknown whether or not this also occurs with cards like Archfiends or Degenerate Circuit). However as the game is based off of the OCG rules, this is the correct outcome.


 * When resolving the effect of Pot of Avarice, the animation shows that Fusion Monsters, Synchro Monsters and Dark Synchro Monsters as being returned to the Main Deck. However, they are being returned to the Extra Deck，just like it did in the previous version of the game.


 * This is a mistake in the card text of Liberty at Last!, just like the International card version. It mentions that the selected monsters are returned to the hand not back to the deck. However, the real effect is activated and the selected monsters are returned to the deck.


 * In Tag Duel, if you got Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode and Lancer Archfiend on the field, when Lancer Archfiend activates its piercing effect, your friend will automatic use Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode will negate the effect and destroy Lancer Archfiend.
