"The core elements of Yu-Gi-Oh!, including specialist cards, Dueling and strategy remain central to BAM, but are further enhanced by a social media channel that allows for an accessible and intense gaming experience," stated Takeshi Minagawa, executive producer, Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "BAM is an addictive new way for the social networking and Facebook generation to experience the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME! BAM is a great entry level introduction to the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME and can be found at http://on.fb.me/LaQxkT."
One of the game's leading developers expressed his certainty in Yu-Gi-Oh! BAM's broad appeal stating: 'Yu-Gi-Oh! has been popular across the world for many years but we thought it was time to bring it to a new audience. We created Yu-Gi-Oh! BAM as an intuitive, fast-paced Facebook game that is accessible to everyone - existing fans, gamers and even those with no past experience of either!'
This exciting new game includes a compelling storyline, more than 300 specially-modified cards and the unique opportunity for players to Duel their friends. An intense and addictive burst of fun, players will have the chance to progress smoothly through challenging levels set against a number of intricately designed backdrops. BAM boasts useful tutorials that provide hints and tips while various Power-Ups and rewards can be used to further the player's progress in the game.
To ensure the player is always fully prepared for battle against both in-game opponents and friends, Yu-Gi-Oh! BAM boasts a number of Deck-building functions. A player can either create his own personalized Deck from the cards available or use the insta-deck function to automatically generate the best Deck for the Duel. With all these features Yu-Gi-Oh! BAM remains simple, engaging and accessible... just hit BAM and let the Duel commence!
