    first day i played was last week saturday when i finally saved the game guys it said 10hrs 20 mins i literally spent all day playing lol & i’m a real gamer i play every genre but i can honestly say this is what we wanted from pokemon you open the game world up you get 3 choices for a digimon than you’re off the camera is not adjustable like sega old yakuza games that’s the camera it’s fixed but you can zokm in & out , you pick you’re protagonist boy or girl not overly complicated the voice actors are japanese so this game is sub for anime fans (lots of reading lol) they have an incredible loot system really simplistic even daycare from pokemon but it’s a tiny island here accessible at almost everywhere in the game world so no worries here you’re digimon can find items for you to use in battle something else i won’t mention that furthers the gameplay & train yes train they get strong relatively fast but not too fast no hand holding here either they’re are digimon who are stronger against different types same as pokemon i never felt at a disadvantage though if anything i felt this urge to get stronger & strategize more when i lost unlike pokemon now days it’s become soft you can breeze through with little to no grinding here is not for the weak hearted you will not breeze through the game with no utilization of the game system they’re is also a option in the game menu to make gameplay hard or normal i immediately put it to hard & yes it works , the digimon will even text you questionnaire questions on you’re digi device from daycare so you never forget you’re buddies they even said “ i miss you” i’m a guy & i was like aww SPOILERS AHEAD -> there is also something implemented here called “ Offline Colosseum” after chapter one you end up at the home base hub on the 4th floor there will be something like the elite 4 from the ending of pokemon games but accessible after chapter 1 you pin you’re digimon against 4 waves of opponents than you fight the strongest after beating the 4 & don’t worry about gaps there will be none once you win the battle the next fight starts immediately yes immediately no music no nothing lol so bring meds the tournament battles go by cups first is “ silver cup” “bronze cup” “ gold cup” i haven’t made it past the bronze cup & my digimon are on level 30 yes boys n girls it actually gets tough but in the most fun way possible i probably sound like a pokemon hater but i actually still love pokemon the games cater more to kids now days in my opinion the truth is there’s a reason big game companies didn’t review this on youtube it’s a hidden gem that i honestly wouldn’t of minded paying $60 for i paid $40 as of wednesday i am 36hrs in i would definitely recommend worth a buy i won’t spoil anything else & trust me they’re is alot i didn’t say if i didn’t sell it look up gameplay if you’re not sold

    A fun charming Digimon game port with some issue.

    This is a great series of games. It's a port from the Playstation Vita and it very much FEELS that way. In that the design feels like that of a portable game. Other then that it's a great collection of two turn based RPGs the can get tough near end games. The monster collection and evolution aspect of it is very fun and the battle mechanic made me realize the Pokémon battle mechanic is a little lacking. You fight three in three battles with a good amount of move selections per monster. The setting is a near future VR setting that eventually feels a bit Shin Megami Tensei like if you're familiar with that series. The annoying thing about this game though is you will catch mistakes in the localization. Either some confusion with a name here and there or just grammar mistakes. There are missions in games that can get frustrating too, because the instructions are either unclear from the NPC or maybe an issue with the localization.

    Not gonna spend the review bashing Pokemon. If you know, I don't need to spell it out for you. As far as these games go, they were crafted with love that can be seen through the overall quality, time, and polish that are clearly there. While both entries are admittedly text heavy, you will be sent on an otherwise wonderful nostalgia trip of a JRPG. You can customize your team how you seem fit, the battle controls are straightforward, and the story is decent and at the very least very colorful and funny at times. If you grew up loving Digimon and wishing they could produce a quality video game to compete with Pokemon, this is it. AND is is two games in one and cheaper. Win-win-win.

    SMT In A Candy Wrapper

    It's a cute game that plays very similarly to both Persona and SMT. The guy who did the art for SMT: Devil Survivor I and II also did the art for this, and it surprisingly works quite well for the theme. The music was done by the same guy who did Danganropa. The music and the visuals work well together for some pleasing eye and ear candy. Much like SMT, the digital and real worlds have begun to merge and you're thrown into the middle of it. Your job is to figure out why this is happening. While not as dark as mainline SMT, it's getting there, and while it's not bad, it can be jarring with the bright backgrounds and cute monsters. Combat is intuitive, turn based, and easy to pull off. The main issue I have with this is that the R stick doesn't control the camera. Angles are fixed and it can make it hard to see important items and NPCs. Maybe it's because it was originally a Vita game, dunno, but it's a glaring flaw. I like it, though I'm only about 1/4 of the way in.

    Great game to play when you want to pass the time since it's turn based and you can take it along wherever you go. Here's a little cheat/trick; even if you turn on the screen and put it away, the clock in game will still go and your digimon will continue to level up on the farm. I have over 100 hours one weekend and got some mega level digimon out of it! Great game!!

    This is my first dive into this series and I loved it. Excellent game overall and highly recommend. Although, it can be a bit too linear and while the story wasn’t fantastic by any means, I think it’s worth a play through. Especially for old digimon fans.

    So I have had this game for like a month, and admittedly I haven't gotten that far in the game. I bought this because I like RPGs and monster catching games. Also I have played a few of the old Digimon RPGs on the PS1 and the Digimon World Games on the NDS. Also, this game is a bundle and includes all updates from the original release until the Nintendo Switch version. The game was a bit of a slow start so I'm anticipating this game being fairly long. So far it looks good. It kind of looks like a SMT or Persona type game in terms of its style. Of course my go to point is that it is portable too.

    I was a little bit skeptical about cyber sleuth. But it blew away my expectations with a good story and easy to pick up battle system. Digivolving your digimon will literally take hours out of your day. But it's definitely worth it.

    Two stories going on within the world of Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth for the cost of one. You can easy spend 100+hrs in this game.Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition portability on the Nintendo Switch makes the game more accessible than ever to play as you aim to collect the more than 300 available Digimon and save the real and digital world.

    Great and emirsive games combine digimon and pokemon into a jrpg format. Plus having both games in one is just a bonus.

    So I've been playing cyber sleuth since release date and well this game starts off slow. You're basically just doing cases and some are needed to continue with the story. Things don't start getting interesting until chapter 10. Also there's a lot of dialogue! So you'll be pressing that A/B button a whole lot. If this is your first digimon game I would suggest doing some research when it comes to digivolving your fave digimon to a mega, how to train their needed stats, getting money and exp. Finally play CS first as HM can spoil the first game.

    Has some things in common with Pokemon as far as fighting monsters with your own monsters. However there's a lot more depth here in regards to story and how you manage your Digimon. It's kind of it's own thing, but I'd recommend it if you're into the monster catching and fighting genre.

    While the port isn't the best it more than makes up for it by having such a great franchise in a portable format. The music, the art and the story is great. The gameplay is also challenging but not punishing.

    Note: not finished yet! This game is not what I expected it to be; that meaning relatively nothing considering I didn’t know what a Digimon game would be. I suppose I thought it would be a some Pokémon clone, but it is far from that! This game has been a pleasure to discover; hundreds of unique Digimon and digievolutions, a genuinely interesting story, and honestly some of the funniest interactions between characters I’ve ever seen! The lack of a chat log and skip chat are annoying but not game-breaking for me. Also keep in mind this is one of those, “die and go to title screen games,” but you can literally save almost anywhere and it’s pretty easy to tell when something big is about to go down. So for fans of Digimon or anyone looking for something new: give it a shot!!
