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

Extreme value for the price, it’s two games! Both games take a long time to 100% finish as well.
My favorite part of the game is managing all of my digimon and digivolving to every possible digimon.
It has a great story, there is a ton of dialogue which could be good or bad depending on your preference.
The 3 digimon battle system is fantastic and a nice change from a typical Pokémon type battle system. It adds a lot of options for how you want to play and setup your party of digimon. There is 3 Rock Paper Scissor types, and 9 elements that combat each other. This causes you to make sure you Party is well rounded and stops you from relying on just 1 strong digimon.
I would definitely recommend this game if you are a fan of Digimon, JRPGs, Pokémon, or Persona 4/5.

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.

This game is a little old but I'm very satisfied it is available for the switch and easy to play on. Definitely play if you were a fan of its previous games. Everyone is caught up with the new pokemon games but in my opinion digimon goes far beyond the basic storylines and plots of a pokemon game. Definitely for mature audience and people with taste. For the price it is, the game is worth it and you will get so much out of it.

Whether or not you like this game depends on your general enjoyment of party recruitment and leveling. Nostalgia will also be a huge factor. I found myself working towards certain digimon just because I liked seeing them from the shows.
My biggest gripe was how the game simply doesn't respect your time. So much dialog feels pointless and/or meandering. The writers could really take a course in conciseness. The voiceless protagonist was a truly bizarre decision. Voiceless protagonists are nothing new, especially for JRPGs, but the implementation here was wildly frustrating. Without inputting any dialog choice, your character will speak inaudibly, and the person they're talking to will repeat what you (supposedly) said. Ex: person asks "What are you doing here?" Your character moves his mouth with no words coming out. "Oh, you're investigating some strange occurrences?" This grows very old very fast. Adding to this annoyance is how he repeats the same body language ad nauseam. Get ready to see an unhealthy amount of thinking face, dopey smile, and shoulders heaved in exasperation.
The environments are very similar to each other. Navigating the digital spaces are a chore because you can't climb - only fall at best. If there's a chest out of the way, you'll go far off the right path and often subject yourself to a couple of random encounters in the process.
Progressing the main story becomes very repetitive. You'll have zero idea what your next objective is until you speak to your boss. She'll suggest you check out some place that coincidentally happens to be where someone has a request for you. They'll feel silly as they remember they should actually file the request to your office. You'll trek back to your office to officially accept the request and make your way back to the same NPC in the exact same location to finally start on the mission. It makes you wonder if the team ever bothered with basic playtesting.
And the biggest time offender is ABI. These are points each digimon has that are earned by evolving/devolving. Luckily the majority of top-tier digimon can be obtained by devolving once. But the coolest digimon are gated behind absurd ABI requirements. If you truly want them, be ready to evolve/devolve dozens of times. If this isn't an attempt at padding an already long and sloggish experience, I don't know what is.
Combat is incredibly basic. It's two levels of rock-paper-scissors weaknesses based on (1) your digimon type and (2) your digimon elemental attribute. Type is king however, so if your digimon is the wrong type to fight an opponent, you'll do pitiful damage even if you hit them with their elemental weakness. This makes strategy boil down to always having an even number of each type in your party and just overwhelming the enemy in a battle of attrition. There are buffs and debuffs that I never found really necessary or even useful. Your digimon can learn techs for curing ailments but you're infinitely rich in this game and can just buy loads of restoratives to do the same.
All of this aside, I did enjoy raising an army of Mega level digimon and seeing old favorites from the show. But I can't recommend this game to anyone who doesn't have nostalgia for the series.

I’ve always liked Digimon more than Pokémon as far as the show is concerned, though it hasn’t always had a stellar track record when it comes to other media. These two games, however, have been the closest to what I’ve been looking for in a Digimon game for as long as I’ve been a fan. The story is fantastic, the gameplay is extremely fun, and it has just about every Digimon you could want. Do yourself a favor and buy this game now!

So this story really got me inverted in what was going to happen next and I can’t recommend it enough. Now combat is a usual turn based which works very well but the part that will take a bit to get a hang of is digivolving and dedigivolving since you sometimes have to lose the higher levels to be able to keep on increasing afterwards which if you don’t realize that can mess you up for a bit.

This game is a little aged with it's fixed camera and nearly ps2 looking graphics, but if you can get passed those small issues, this game is wonderfully addictive. Trust me...I've played over 90 hours of this already!
Both Digimon Story games are here and with all DLC + new game plus and the ability to trade digimon between both games. Also, the first game now includes all extra digimon included in Hackers Memory which puts the total over 300. Like digimon? Like RPG games like Pokemon? Like laughable translation errors? If so, this game is for you!! (ps: laughable translation errors really are a positive in my opinion.)

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.

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.

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!!

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.
