The game follows the official card battling rules while bringing the Yu-Gi-Oh! bestiary to life in 3D. Duelists can watch the results of the cards they play in real-time 3D battles, or use the game's Library feature to browse the hundreds of monsters featured in the game. The number of cards available in Dawn Of Destiny is well over 1,000.
The player can build up to three decks, which can be stored. The game's deck-building interface is designed to be easy to use. The single-player mode allows fans to duel against favorite characters from the animated series, while the game's "Link Duel Mode" lets two human opponents go head-to-head. As with many earlier Yu-Gi-Oh! releases from Konami, Dawn Of Destiny comes packaged with three (actual) game cards, including the Egyptian God Monster card "Winged Dragon of Ra" (a collector's item which may not be used in official rules duels).
