Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses

In this departure from the core gameplay aspects of the traditional Yu-Gi-Oh card game, players battle on a 7x7 grid each having a designated "Deck Leader" which is the representation of their Life Points. Players then attempt to destroy the opposing "Deck Leader" with monsters from their respective decks.

PlayStation 2

This is an RPG game where the player is a "ROSE DUELIST". The player is summoned by a druid named Simon to the past days of dueling so that he can help the young prince Yu-Gi Moto. Only before Simon can fully convince the player to join forces with the "Yorkist" (Yu-Gi's side) a man named Seto Kiaba appears. Seto is the leader of the Rose Crusaders which believe that they should summon one of the old kings which helped create the dueling game. After a lengthy discussion of both Simon and Seto attempting to get the player to join their sides Seto proposes a compromise. Seto explains that both the Yorkist and the Crusaders have eight of the sixteen "Rose Cards". Seto explains to the player that neither side is winning so it is fair game. The player is then given a choice to take the White Rose Card and fight for Seto and the Crusaders or to choose the Red Rose Card and fight for Yu-Gi and the Yorkist. (The Rose Crusaders is intentionally easier such as choosing the Dark Side in the Star Wars Video games.)

The Rose Cruesaders

If the player chooses the White Rose Card then Simon is wisk away and the player goes with Seto. Seto explains that the player needs to go into the Yorkist country and destroy all of their duelist so he can retrieve all of the Red Rose Cards. The player battles through players such as Mya, Tristian, Joey, Grandpa, and finally Yu-Gi himself. After the player retrieves all of the Red Rose Cards he takes them to Seto where Seto makes an attempt to summon the former king and succeeds. Only things do not go as planned as the king becomes upset that he was awoken from his slumber and claims to be disturber by the way that the human race has "tainted" the way of dueling. The king promises to take over again and return "order" to the way of dueling. Seto calls on the player to battle the king because the prophecy states that only the Rose Duelist would be able to defeat the king.
