Is Digimon World: Next Order Worth Playing? | Digimon World: Next Order Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 мар 2022
- Five years ago I reviewed Digimon World: Next Order and concluded that it was a bummer of a game that wasn't worth playing. Five years later, I decided to come back and give it another chance. Did I like the game more this time? Is it worth buying Digimon World: Next Order on a sale? Let's dig in!

5 years ago this was the first game I bought with my own money, if the target employee who looked in the back for that last copy is watching, thank you, you made this child happy
I had that moment as a child when red version first came out . It’s a memory you will cherish lol there will never be another first video game with own money. Next is first computer with own money GL!
The original digimon vpet was the first thing I ever bought with my own money. I remember it costing like $3 or $4 at the time. Good times.
This game was the reason I bought a PS4, and quickly got put on the back burner for other games....but I'm finally going back to put in the effort this game deserves!
So sweet 🧡👍🏽
@@pwnzorofretards what's red version? Are you talking about Pokémon? Lol
I found that the key is to "stagger" your Digimon. I always wanted one of them to be at a higher stage than the other so I could go grind and not have to worry about losing both of them. It made it so I could basically power level the lower staged Digimon.
I played this game when it first came out and had a really hard time with it, getting stuck on the 1st boss of the game for hours due to the same misunderstanding of how to raise my digimon. I came back to the game this year with my knowledge of how the game actually works and had a blast with it, taking down super bosses and all.
Glad to hear others had a similar experience with coming back to it!!
Hey! This game is coming to Switch and PC in late February 2023! I've gotten tons of comments saying they wish the game was available on those systems, so I'm happy it's happening. I don't plan to get either of those versions, but if I do, I'll update this comment to say how those versions are / if they add or change anything worth mentioning.
Hi :^)
I was here for Sly 4 Part 2
*Jumps from the HighGround*: Hello there
Lessgooooo Digimon !!
Are you perhaps Greek?
Next Order is my therapy. When the world is chaos or when I'm trying and failing at something I can always go back to it. Almost everything you do is progress in this game. You are always getting stronger whether through generational stat boosts, moves acquired, facilities or bits. It can be grindy sometimes but it can always be broken down into small manageable pieces.
I've been looking at reviews trying to decide if I should get this now that it's on Switch and this comment might be what convinces me to give this game a try.
@@jess2109 there’s a lot of post game too so you can always revisit it every few months. I’ve had one play through that’s been going for years because I just jump back in and put on a podcast or audio book and relax.
@@superiorgo2368 This sounds exactly like what I like to do with my games, but even watching and reading countless reviews I wasn't sure if that was possible with this game. I know it's a niche game but so many people just complain about it's difficulty and grinding that it made me believe it would end up stressing me more. Thanks for a different take!
This game is interesting. All your criticisms are valid and it's a hard game to recommend but at the same time it's one of my favourite games I have played in the last 10 years .
Haha that's the rough thing about a lot of Digimon games. I enjoy the vast majority of them as a fan, but good god it gets tough to recommend them to non-fans. Lol.
Just saw this game on sale for $8 on PSN store. Can't wait to relive my childhood in this game. Digimon world 1 was such a difficult and obtuse game for a 6 year old but it taught me so much- including how to read! It was so much fun playing such an obscure game that no one else had.
I still have my original PS1 disc and strategy guide. Such good memories.
Digimon World Re:Digitize and Re:Digitize Decode also have the same v-pet mechanics.
World 1 was my childhood. This game was definitely a nostalgic gem I enjoyed very much.
That soothing soundtrack was in the first Digimon World game as well. It was one of the first copied games I had for my Playstation 1, loved that game and later Digimon World 2 as well. I have dabbled in those 2 games for most of my first youth and the feel of nostalgia is taking over and making me want to try out this game..
I love this game. I say a mechanic that would really help is giving the player a way to digivole and get high parameters faster when the player progress through the story. Once their digimon passes away, the player will have to grind to get to their parameters again to progress, which is what turns away a lot of players. There are tricks you can do mid game that will give your digimon crazy stats and lots of money, but it feels more like an oversight than a design (and I say these tricks make the game more enjoyable).
The gym needs to be MUCH more efficient, especially in late game where you go against tough bosses.
I'm glad you enjoyed it more this time! This is one of my absolute favorites
I ended up getting this game for switch and i really enjoyed it. The main story quest doesn't take much time at all, but there's plenty to do now that the dimensional dungeon available. Plus it's been a lot of fun raising a bunch of digimon and seeing what they grow into during each life cycle.
I remember back in the PS1 days, Numemon haunted my dreams, happy to see this game isn't the Numemon simulator like the original was.
Definitely. You almost have to actively try for Numemon by comparison.
I myself prefer Cyber Sleuth, but if you don't mind the slightly confusing, slightly open play of Next Order, (plus some of the grinding) it's not a bad pick.
I feel that. I’d probably still hand it to Cyber Sleuth all in all, but I’m glad there’s this weird, different flavor of game too.
Gosh, this is making me want to plug in my PS4 and continue playing this game. Didn't appreciate it the first go around, but it really grew on me...still need to try and beat it though
Yeah, it's a very long game even if it does rub you the right way so I can totally understand that! If it hadn't struck me at this exact right time mentally, I probably would have fell into the same boat.
Great video! Being a long-time Digimon fan, but fairly new to Digimon games, I found this video valuable! I'm currently playing the complete edition of Cybert Sleuth (Switch) and checking out Survive soon enough, but after that... I might very well end up playing this one as well! Cheers.
Just watched this since the game is coming out on Switch an Steam soon and was thinking of picking it up. Played it at release an like you was dissatisfied with after loving the original so much as a kid. Your tips have got me excited to give this a go again! Awesome video!
Honestly I adore the atmosphere of this game, it’s a game I always play to unwind and relax
Thanks for this video.
Found this after watching a trailer for the upcoming Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows versions scheduled to release on February 22, 2023.
*MagnaAngemon:* Hold on, I need to shit.
*Player:* If you do, it'll ruin my plans for you.
the whole thing with mirei requires you to have played Re:Digitize since her whole "mutliverse of digital worlds" arc extends through several games, including cyber sleuth and hacker's memory
Yo, I had the exact same experience, and you've convinced me to go back in. Thanks!
Glad you remade this review.
Was boring with todays game and want to try something new.
Just finished Digimon cyber sleuth and looking forward for this game.
Thanks for the review
So after playing both games, which one did you like the most and why?
The gym is mainly used to perfect stats for an evolution, pass time quickly while training and so you can control what digimon you digivolve into prior to the dojo being opened. otherwise always grind on high stat gain digimon or eat at the restaurant.
Honestly, the trick to using the gym properly, is that the only stats you should ever use it for are str and def (maybe mp). Every other stat is best to grind when you take 0 damage and one shot enemies. Once you hit mega, stat gains are terrible anyways, and having them out of sync means you can power level mons by having the older one knock enemies out instantly. Also, younger Digimon get huge boosts through training depending on the evolution difference between them.
Since egg strength is 10%(+1% per each egg level) of the absolute max of any generation, every new high of 100 points is up to 14 extra power to the every other generation. If you get 5k of a stat, and max egg levels, you start off with 700, basically meaning an in training will absolutely win against a lot of mons. Once one mon gets a head start, then you can power level the other one.
Yeah, next order is quite confusing at first, with very important things like monster grinding and blocking not exactly being some of the first things to come to a new player's mind. Hell, I even went through a save where I was completely blocked and stuck in a loop of boosting my Digimon's stats in the training center and seeing them die of old age countless times while I was stuck through the story segments. But under all of that is a pretty neat game with a lot of possiblities and replayability to it. Gotta note how I love having to constantly assess the battlefield to perfectly time your abilities, but it all feels a bit pointless when you can consider how easily the game can be broken by just ExE spamming or other scummy tactics. 8.7/10 would recommend
For sure! Like it does a lot of "bad" game design things, but once you get the hang of what it actually wants it gets a lot more fun.
You take accountability for your past video and own that you misunderstood and that's really nice to see. Digimon on ps1 was my favourite game and I was so excited for world order. I looked at guides as I played and tips and truly enjoyed it much more than the original I'm glad you feel somewhat the same happiness I feel with the game. Well done and great review!
I just really hope they go all in on cyber sleuth style content. That was one of the best games weve gotten in a long time
I got this game and finished it a couple of years ago, and had constantly mixed feelings about it. The change in battle system from direct commands to "order points" was the worst part of the game for me. I didn't know about training through battle at first either, and beat the final boss by relying only on the gym. I did try grinding through battles towards the end but I could never find the right balance between gaining stats and not having my digimon take too much damage, so I just stuck to the gym. The story I felt was lackluster too - most of the chapters were fine, it was just the ending that I felt was a bit anticlimatic, when they could've perhaps tied things together more neatly than they did.
Despite how frustrating it was, the sense of wonder I got from exploring the game, meeting digimon and rebuilding the city was enough to keep me going. I had no idea the PS4 visuals were so much better than the Vita ones, and they're probably a huge part of why I love this game so much. It's just another experience that's missing from most digimon games. I just enjoyed the journey too much to give up on it. Contrast this with Cyber Sleuth, which took me two years of playing on and off just to finally finish. I think I will definitely revisit Next Order, perhaps put it on easy mode this time and just enjoy it!
Hey there. I just found your video , i just finished the the cybersleuth games and absolutely LOVED them to the ground. Now im gonna play Survive and Next Order... Probably survive first... but you made me rly curious about next order. I will tell you after i finished both and thank you (maybe). See in some weeks/months
i have to say I was one who saw your original video about the game (among several others), and it actually turned me off of it since it was so well made and in depth. I am an avid digimon lover and was super disappointed to hear this game was so badly designed. It is nice to see this update video with some explination, and acceptance, about why you may have been wrong or misunderstood some parts. I definitely appreciate this updated view point and I definitely want to try it out now. Thank you for such awesome input and insight! I will definitely return and let you know how I enjoyed it once I played it.
Thanks for giving me your time twice! Going by the comments it certainly invites a range of opinions, but I'm hoping you find enough to enjoy in it.
Just picked it back up the other day as well. Haven’t put it down since
This is pretty much how I felt about the game. The best aspects are the mechanics if you enjoy that it’s cool probably one of the best in its niche. That said most everything else in the game, story, graphics or quests are bad to serviceable. That said I enjoy it and it’s so fun to get caught in the grind loop
Damn bro, I just picked up the game on sale & am having the exact same problem/s. I have been mostly training in the gym, because it seemed to make more sense (to me anyway), but was getting frustrated at my limited progress.
Maybe I'll try starting over, & I'm not really a Digimon game series vet, but I still can't help thinking of all the ways I wish the game were improved that would make it awesome.
Thanks!
I’m happy it’s helping!! Sounds like we’ve had a very similar experience with it.
I also made the mistake of only training at the gym. The days passed and my digimons grew old with not much progress. Another mistake was using the instant evolution items that don't really help that much.
Now I understand the game more. Even against way stronger enemies there's a chance to win if you get that digi fusion scene near death lol.
The only thing I really don't like about this game is that it's really difficult to keep both digimons at the same age
Dude I'm glad it's not just me who did it, it makes me feel a bit better lol. I stockpiled the instant evolution items to the point that I honestly forgot about them...oops. It would be cooler to be able to keep them more in sync though, yeah. Mine got out of wack pretty much instantly so I spent the entire game with one almost always being a higher "level" than the other.
@@MykonosFan yeah I noticed in the video the different digimon levels xD
@@MykonosFan an easy solution would be a "bill's pc" of sort maybe some farm like place that lets you keep one of your digimon without counting time(or at a very reduced time pass), so you could either level a new one, or go solo.
it would even be good for challenge solo runs as well.
Actually, de syncing your ages is great for grinding provided it's only like a 2-3 day difference. You make the mega speed grind for your rookie and it'll get strong so quickly that it can do the same for your other digimon when it reincarnates
@@thewerebear1 Interesting. I'll have to try that strategy
I may have to check this out too. I played cyber sleuth but got stuck in the fight with ulforceveemon . I'll have to go back
Finally i will play this game, since Digimon World 1 In PS1 in 1999
Love the video!! I just switched from a channel with 5k subs for Apex to reviewing games myself!! I haven't posted yet but, any tips would be cool.
The number 1 stat to worry about is just straight up str get it to 8000 or 9000 and everything else becomes much easier use phantom necter from the vending machine prize in Rosemons palace to increase there lifespan and the training gets alot easier and u can get stupid high stats before they do die so when they hatch they start with wayyyy more stats then normal also get the trainer upgrade that says boost the paramaters more stats for the next gen
How you felt was reasonable. Digimon has had things going for it but hasn't invested on those well and a lot of the new attempts have been pretty much a miss. The most I enjoyed digimon in the recent years is Rearise which is a mobile game with horrendous gameplay and presentation. They could've just taken Adventure Reboot's budget and made that an anime instead. Right now I'm just hoping Survive finally delivers a Digimon experience I've been looking for.
Btw great vid I already had lots of reservations towards this game but I'll probably get it eventually :D
Very good video, gives me everything I need to understand what this is about,
and what's going on with this "new" digimon game coming in 2023.
I'm pretty dissappointed we essentially get a remaster of this over a new jrpg,
but I guess ppl that like the original world will be happy.
i'm quite new to digimon (other than watching the anime as a kid) but recently decided to give cyber sleuth a go and i'm really enjoying it so far. after seeing next order is being released on switch next year, i'm really curious to try it out, but the thing that holds me back is your digimon's ability to die. i like to spend time acquiring my favourite digimon, so i'm wondering if it'll ruin my experience if everyone i work so hard to get will die in a couple of weeks.
I played and love this game, but the tip about battling to grow you Digimon is probably life changing. Might need to go play again. (I spent way to much time in the gym...)
The trick to really enjoying the raise grind engine is to use battles vs staying in and training
This was my favorite digimon game. I loved pretty much everything from the gym grind to the life span (which I did hate when I first played) but I remember telling my friends if you wanna play this then you have to LOVE monster raising. not like it, but love it or you’ll get burnt out
I’m a huge digimon fan and when I got this I could not beat the game and didnt really understand the mechanics and ended up not passing it. While waiting on Digimon Survive news and info last year or so I ended up going back into this game and after watching some guides on how to properly level up the digimon I was able to pass it beat the dlc boss and all. It was a fun ride once I knew what I was doing
I myself own digimon world 1,3,4 and next order. I hope they finally localize redigitize. Played it a few times since its been translated but would love to own it. I wish they would give more love to the world series. Tho I am looking forward to digimon survive.
I need to give the fan translation of Redigitize a try sometime. I really do value seeing all the new buildings come into the city, which I know that game kinda doesn't do. Is it still pretty fun in spite of that?
@@MykonosFan I enjoyed it, the town kinda reminds me of a outdoor market version of the mall place in cyber sleuth. I never got far cause I keep meaning to buy a phone holder controller to use with my android psp emulator to give me a authentic playing experience.
@@MykonosFan I love it, and the game is the origin story of characters like Miriei and Rina, it have lot's of content, a great extra story and a somewhat fun last extra dungeon if you want more, and even a new game plus, where you play with Rina. The only problem is that training is only with the gym, and can be a little trick if you want to do the post game extra dungeon, and training can be a little boring, so I recommend doing it while watching something or so. Also, I'm pretty sure that some of the super training that you open later in the game is impossible to do, I would ignore it and just go with automatic training, way quicker, you can skip the cutscene, and is possible to beat the entire game with it.
@@billy-waynejeffcoat4828 if you’ve got a 3DS you can mod it to play the translated version on proper hardware, it’s easy enough to do with a guide
@@strawhatpro I mean I have a psp, been modding it and plan on putting it on there. Waited to long to get a 3ds and they are too pricey nowadays for my liking
Love it it's my favorite game, still playing on my PS5, nice video of course I brought it again for my switch, but I just don't have the time to grind again 😅. Nice video man! Very well said
I'm playing it on my Vita
This is one of my favorite digimon games that’s I’ve actually beaten. It had such good QOL changes from the first game it took inspiration from. Glad you were able to pull your own opinion around for the game, it’d be a shame if it got left where it was due to a misunderstanding of how to progress.
Thank you. I needed to know if this was worth $9 in 2023....I guess it's time.
Just found your channel and enjoying your content! The portion of this review where you described how getting a new Digimon after yours dies and training it up can be a pain kind of confused me :( I remember in the first game that when I got a new egg the game would pretty much just stop for me, over here you try to explain that there's better training methods but I didn't quite understand that could you explain that a little bit more thoroughly for me?
Hi! It is a bit confusing, this video by MrW01FY talks about the training method: ruclips.net/video/h_ATT7D2qI8/видео.html
And if you prefer text, I'd look at this a lot, it also links to more resources: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/196176-digimon-world-next-order/faqs/75683/training-tips
@@MykonosFan thank you so much haha I was afraid you wouldn't reply lol I'm trying to get into this game and your video helped a lot thanks
played the japanese vita version 5 years ago too, it was grindy but i liked it. wish the ps4 version get a port to pc or something
I use to play this game on my PS4 (I don’t have it anymore, my brother does) and while I did like playing it, I got stuck and the training wore out it’s welcome as I wasn’t getting anywhere with it. I do remember seeing your original review and I was bummed about it, but now seeing this one and seeing how I should be playing it, I’m gonna get it for the Switch whenever I see it go on sale.
It's worth a try at a low price! I'm sorry I put you off of it back in the day, I'm glad you were able to catch this one. Definitely check out some other impressions from fans of the game too. Its critiques and negatives are pretty widely available online, so balancing that out some with people who liked it is worth looking into I'd say.
I still have good memories of it(though some fights felt really cheap forcing you to abuse that dna-ultimate attack) and would love to come back to it. But my main issue is that I built the town and had everything in place, but took me hours, days, weeks, MONTHS of my time to reach that. This game is absolutely fun to play but takes too goddamn long to reach something and when you finally do, your digimon dies, starting all over again.
but it takes like 20 minutes to get it back to mega ? :|
As soon as I hit mega, I found the time to get my Digimon back to a fightable stat line after dying was pretty quick and easy. The game essentially rewards you by wasting less of your time, which is totally why the World games are only able to hit a specific niche.
@@jakhar5anyone saying games are wasting your time because they are not rewarding you the way you want to should probably look for another hobby anyway
I'm considering giving it a shot now that it's on PC and Switch. I played the original Digimon world back in the day so I'm hopeful this will be satisfying
Got the game as a Christmas gift in 2018 from my homie loved it until my 1st batch of megas died and I got sad and dropped it. Definitely gotta pick it back up since I started the card game
I wish I had some people near me to play the TCG, I hear it's pretty fun.
@@MykonosFan it's really good and easy to pick up I recommend it
Seadramon in Mod Cape. Then I go straight to the Orange Wargrowlmon, the one all alone at the east (?) entrance of the mechanical city. Black Garurumon at the church. Platinum Numemon in the weird space. The post game battle at the ice cathedral vs Metalseadramon and the purple Kyubiimon
If you have enough money you can feed them Seraphimon's meals at the restaurant, it helps a lot. By the time they evolve all the way to Mega their stats are maxed out in everything
Im downloading the game right now. digimon world defined my nostalgic childhood. File city day theme will live rent free in my head forever
Long time Digimon fan here. This game is the definitive Digimon experience for me. ExE is the best mechanic in any Digimon media ever. It's so anime.
I am not a Digimon fan, but I randomly picked up the OG Digimon world on PS1 back in the day and loved it. I have recently been watching a lets play and its got we thinking that I'd really like to play a more modern version of that game. Would you recommend this game for that? or is there a better one? Haven't touched a Digimon game since that first one and am clueless about whats out there.
There’s a Japanese-only Digimon World called ReDigitize, it has a PSP version and a 3DS version with more content. I think both have English fan translation patches, if you’re willing to mess with emulation and all of that it might be worth looking into. It’s one I haven’t played yet. If that’s more than you’re willing to do this one is basically your only option. There are other Digimon “World” games on the PS1, but they don’t play like this one and the original do.
There are other Digimon games I'd recommend overall, like Digimon World DS or the new Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth games. But they're more traditional JRPGs so they don't give the same experience.
First time I picked up this game, I put it right back down and took it back to Game Stop the next week 💀 but Once I learned the specific spots to train at certain levels, and at certain evolution stages, this game became so fun and simple and I couldn’t believe I ever gave up on it. I’ve played it all the way through twice now and intend on playing through it again real soon.
That being said, however, I could easily pick it apart for how unnecessarily complex the gameplay is. The love for this game is limited by the fact that casual gamers cannot simply pick it up and start playing without some sort of guide. I don’t think games should be designed that way.
I don't think i ever got past chapter 1. The only reason is I'm always trying to get a specific digivolution. Sadly all I get are the black versions and I never figure out how to get an Agumon or smth.
Wish this was on steam
I’m very glad I got this game without looking at reviews. It’s much more up my ally then cyber sleuth was. I really enjoy the grinding and while. Losing your digimon is a bit depressing it just incentivized me to keep going. Well I did just get the game today but. I’m really happy with it
There's an english translation available online for the psp version of world. I have it but still haven't gotten around to playing it.
The number one thing I have beef with this game on is that they don't correlate digimon Levels and and evolutions, so finding those places to grind is real hard, and not intuitive. So you have to like, sneak past a weirdly strong Koromon, to then fight a weirdly weak Birdramon, and it feels like a game I had to play with a guide open, and couldn't just intuit where to go. I love all of the QoL it gives for the World subseries, but it wore me down with the grind. Maybe I'll play it again one of these days, and like you, have a different read on it, but the thing that changed your mind and made you have fun with it, is the thing that made me mad, and stop having fun with it.
Great video, here's hoping we get some crumbs for the next Story game soon.
I got the game maybe 7 or so months ago. It's a fun game and I really enjoyed it. Story was pretty good, gameplay is fun, good ambient music. I think most of your criticisms of the game are valid.
I've never played a Digimon game before this looks like a lot of fun, I like game's that have monster companions. Like Pokemon, Dragon Quest, Persona/Shin Megami. Stuff like that.
I'll be getting this game on the PS Vita down the road. I just have quite the backlog at the moment. You can earn trophies from Japanese PS Vita games since the console is region free. It's too bad that the 3ds is region locked. They could have ported the 3ds Digimon games on the PS Vita.
Really wish this would get released on steam already
12:15 wanna know an easy way to not only fix it but also make the game better overall? outside battle abilities, specifically traversal abilities. what if you could ride a digimon to walk faster? or reach higher places? what about flight and floating abilities that could let your digimon carry you over unwalkable terrain? maybe a surf like ability that lets you go through a lake. and so on.
that could also make getting certain types of digimon more interesting. what if instead of digimon, you get tools that let you do that, so you could still use no matter the digimon you have. imagine if the tool could let you "store" a digimon you unlocked as a skin, maybe do both, with early on, areas being locked until you get a flying capable (at least adult) digimon, and after a while you unlock a tool that will let you do it no matter the digimon you have. same for mounting, so you could always have a faster run for certain maps.
there could be an area that is involved in darkness that would require a holy digimon to cleanse, or a hot area that you could either bring an ice or water type monster that would help you go through it.
thank you for the vid
bought it day 1 year's go i had a snag in it do to me being a bit underpowered now i'm feeling i should try to clear the game since i did enjoy it in the first place the whole learning how to level the Digimon properly is a bit of a undertaking cause you may need multiple of the same Digimon to get the desired line up you want/ need to complete
Without a doubt yes.
4:40...yeah this really puts me off, if there was an option to fuse them for the stats like in digimon world 2, I would've love this.
I kinda love this game, but I also hate that my digimon dies over time. Its just so much unnecessary grinding when you have 2 digimons and their lifetimes does not match up. At the start of my game I run with 2 Ultimate/Mega levels for a good amount of time and have fun, around the end game i maybe have 1-3 ingame days before one of my digimons die and I have to train it up again. And when that one is up around Ultimate level, then my other digimon dies of old age and I can start over with that one as well, spending maybe 12-14 days on training and 1-7 days on game progress, over and over again.
If they made some changes to the training hall in the city, like a heavy money/bit cost for using the training hall and reduce the attributes gained after each battle by 75-90% and then only let my digimons die when they lose a fight (maybe give each of them 3 lives, like in the first game, so the surprice EXE on a lost fight, still can pop-up from time to time). That would be more worth of my time.
I like the story, but never really cared much about it after I beat the last Machinedramon. To much running back and forth, too much waiting, way too much talking and very little action. But the game has many other really nice things to offer except from the story and I think it is a shame, that much of my experience with it, dies little by little along with my digimons, over and over again.
I agree, this game can be the best Digimon game you've played if you know a few things ahead of time (like areas to grind). It's a very charming game, especially to fans of the original style of digimon which was training them to do well and letting them go ham in battle with little to no input from you as the trainer. Great review.
I remember beating it twice in two separate playthroughs and learned to love the game, I sold my PS4 in favor for a Switch, but I do miss this game, my copy is just lying around on my shelf now.
Rosemon Burst Mode was the MVP.
i watched this thinking this is a leak for the switch ver. is it the remake of a remake haha
Yes
As someone who loved Monster Rancher this game sounds kinda cool. I'm not the biggest Digimon fan but I always liked it and I played the Cyber Sleuth games a bit.
im gonna buy this next year
As someone who has never played Digimon, which game would you suggest playing first?
So the hard truth is that even the best Digimon games are just decent at best. I’d point toward Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, it’s a JRPG with some passing resemblances to SMT. After that I’d probably shout out Next Order or even just grabbing one of the v-pet toys since they’re neat and novel.
It’s the kind of franchise where there’s a lot of bad games to get in on, but if you wind up endeared to the series they become more tolerable. I wish I could sing higher praise but it is what it is haha.
@@MykonosFan with that response, I think I will continue to look at Digimon from the sidelines 😅😅
@@DrScottnik To add to this, the game that tends to be remembered most fondly is the original Digimon World back on the PS1, which is riddled with:
An overall very poor translation
A looot of auto battling
Rigged training where sometimes you'll just fail no matter how well you play the Bonus Try (slots will intentionally keep going half a second after you press X, quite literally if it *feels like it*)
Some evolutions have esoteric requirements (I seem to recall that having zero battles is one of the requirements for HerculesKabuterimon, a high level monster)
There's a handful of game halting bugs like the jukebox that crashes the game in the NA release, a ToyAgumon that repeatedly talks to you but fails to start a battle as it should, there's one map you can walk off of completely if you try hard enough, etc...
But because it was a part of quite a few childhoods (mine, at least), it's a game I find myself not actually having a problem coming back to from time to time.
Digimon World DS/Dawn/Dusk are probably the most well-put-together, if you can stomach the high battle frequency, but I'd agree with Mykonos, Cyber Sleuth is probably the best you're gonna get.
I want a remake of digimon world 2
Bro u should do a tips and tricks on this game considering its somewhat new and alot of people could use the help
yes
this game is nice to play may i ask can this game play in pc ?
playstation only
i remember completely breaking the vita version by battle training my freshly hatched digimon, the digivolve stat boosts are serious.
Is that machinedramon in the thumbnail ?
Digimon world Was the 1st one I played and seemed to enjoyed the most as when digimon world 2 and 3 came out I was a little shaken by how different they where from the original pet chain and first game. This looks like it will scratch that itch I have to play digimon world again.
Yeah I'm not gonna lie, I was really caught off guard when I heard Guilmon"s new voice since I was always used to his iconic voice from Digimon Tamers.
Hope any of that helps if u didn't already know but trust phantom necter is the item u gotta get trust me super worth it at the vending machine u can spam buy soda to get phantom necter randomly the soda can be used for food that bosses friendship and the friendship between the two Digimon sorry for ranting on just wanted to pass on info that might make these game mechanics more dealable and adjustable
Finally, next year I can have my Monzaemon again.
is there a mod for only having one digimon?
It seems many of us have had similar experiences with the game, me included. I bought the game for cheap, exciting to finally be playing a digimon game on a big screen, having missed out on all prior entries before. I had no idea how to play, got numemon multiple times and I said yeah I’m out. Seeing the switch version trailer and the $60 price tag on that, I figured if I’m to give this game a shot it better be with the copy I already own. It makes sense now that the game feels like it was made for a handheld device but I am loving it nonetheless playing it remotely on my phone. No numemon and actually have an ultimate in 4 hours of game time. We’ll see where it goes from there though, I am mostly looking forward to it
I really wish this was on the switch.
It'd be an awesome Switch game, seeing it get a release there and on PC would be great.
mega isn't the final stage tho, granted most Megas don't digi-volve past that stage.
but it does and can happen, the rumored "Gaiamon" would be at a stage way past mega
Alright, as someone who loves digimon (I have the crest of friendship as a tattoo) I've never played most of the games. And It's because there's always something that throws me off... this however is right up my alley. Love it
Always go back to this game every so often. Took a bit to actually learn what to do and crap. The only thing i suggest to people sadly is to follow a guide/know where to train and crap as i hardly use the gym myself. Took me a while to get past ch 1 the first time through. (Still have trouble getting through ch 1 with my first digimon, tho my second gen does most of the work of completing the story lol)
I just want a new Digimon World developed for newest hardware to make me happy. Next order was good but still lacked in many departments, like graphics and digimon variety. Still, the original Digimon World is one of my favorite games so having a sequel meant the world to me and it was AWESOME. I just want to see the full potential of this series.
This game is a great distraction. I use it for self-therapy a lot if things aren't going very well in my life.
Digimon will always be one of my ultimate comfort series c:
