    I picked this up after reading reviews and watching videos to make a choice. I’m glad I did. The gameplay is fun. I would recommend to anyone whether you are a Digimon fan or not.

    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.

    Picked this up for a friend that played it before on the Vita and they are enjoying much more on the Switch. The two game in one bundle for its price is also a no brainer!

    Honestly, I only enjoy it because I accidentally remembered Digimon and now I’m obsessed with it. You get tired of the dialogue sometimes because it feels unnecessary, but battling and digivolving are the most fun aspects of it. Enjoyable game as a Digimon fan

    Both are quality games that easily make it worth the price. Unique world that made me want to keep playing and the gameplay is enjoyable. However, it should be noted that there is no English voice acting. It's all in Japanese, so you likely will be doing a lot of reading.

    Game starts off pretty slow. Once you get past that its relatively enjoyable. Comparable to monster collecting games like Pokemon.

    2 games in one. Digimon RPG. Gameplay is like pokemon except you control more than one digimon. Story is mixed. The first game was a slow start and didn't catch my interest until half way through. The translation is pretty bad. Sometimes you get to pick your dialogue (3 choices) but when you read it you'll realize it's 2 sentences that take up 3 lines. And sometimes you make the right choice but it will be wrong because they translated the answers wrong. Overall they will satisfy your digimon itch, but there's lots of room for improvement.

    This is a great game for Digimon fans. It has classic turn based combat. Only con is that the voice acting is Japanese only
