Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Tag Force Special (2015) is the seventh and final entry in the legendary Tag Force series. Released exclusively in Japan as a digital-only title for the PSP (long after the Vita had launched), it serves as a massive “Greatest Hits” for the franchise, spanning all five anime generations from Duel Monsters to ARC-V.
-
Language Note: This game never received an official Western release. However, it is famous for its English Fan Translation Patches, which as of 2026 are highly polished, covering 100% of cards and nearly all story content.
The Ultimate Card Pool
This game was a dream come true for deck builders at the time, featuring over 7,000 cards.
-
Card Coverage: Includes cards up to the Secrets of Eternity booster pack (early 2015).
-
Mechanics: It is the only Tag Force game to include Pendulum Summoning, alongside Fusion, Ritual, Synchro, and Xyz.
-
Traditional Packs: Unlike previous games that had unique in-game packs, this title uses real-world OCG (Official Card Game) pack names and distributions, making it easier for fans to know where to find specific archetypes.
The Story Mode: Five Eras
Instead of one continuous plot, you choose a “Partner” from one of the five anime series. Each era has 5 “Tier 1” partners with full story arcs:
-
DM: Yugi, Kaiba, Joey, Mai, Ishizu.
-
GX: Jaden, Cyrus, Alexis, Chazz, Zane.
-
5D’s: Yusei, Jack, Akiza, Crow, Kalin.
-
ZEXAL: Yuma, Shark, Kite, Rio, Kotori.
-
ARC-V: Yuya, Zuzu, Gong, Sora, Shay.
Secrets & Cheats
Because the game can be a massive grind for DP (Duel Points) and rare cards, many players use CWCheat codes on the PSP or PPSSPP emulator.

Short Review: The End of an Era
The Good
-
Masterful Content: Having characters from all five shows in one game is incredible fan service.
-
Pendulum Introduction: It was the first time fans could play with Pendulums in a Tag Force setting, adding a fresh layer to the classic gameplay.
-
Speed: On the PSP, the duels flow much faster than in the Legacy of the Duelist games, with snappy animations and quick AI turns.
The Bad
-
Budget Presentation: Because it was a late-life digital release, the 3D character models and environments from Tag Force 6 were removed. Interactions now take place over 2D backgrounds, making it feel slightly less immersive.
-
Lack of 3D Animations: There are no 3D monster summoning cutscenes (like Blue-Eyes or Stardust Dragon), which was a staple of the earlier entries.
