I waited 4 years for this game, after multiple delays it was finally released.
Just as a preface; While it does have tactical gameplay elements, this game is a visual novel before anything else. If that type of game isn’t in your alley then you will get bored.
Of course this could be the exception to your taste, especially if you are a digimon fan. Because this game’s story is a love letter to longtime fans.
This is a game made by people who understand the appeal of digimon. With the poor marketing it has received, I encourage any digimon fan to jump on the occasion if a visual novel doesn’t turn you off completely.
For tactical game enthusiast, you might find the game too easy (No permanent death for units, every units on the field will gain exp after your victory even if they have been defeated in the process) and your options are quite limited, which will make for little to no variety in how you approach a battle but I think the engaging scenario, which is a darker take on the very first adventure anime largely makes up for it.
I wouldn’t say the story is groundbreaking but you can tell the people who worked on it know their stuff and were able to build on the established lore tell a bold story never seen before in the franchise. Coupled with a lot of easter eggs that people will recognize.
Only downside of this is that for the most part, it gets really repetitive. For someone who wants to get all the ending (5 in total) but they will themselves skipping a lot of dialogues considering that it’s basically the same story with minor differences.
There is one choice in particular that will determinate which ending you will get but the options will depend if your affinity (moral, wrathful and harmony) which are influenced by your various. If you were careful about your choices then you could technically get all 4 endings path available before reaching that branching point. Then all you would have to do is save and reload at that point to proceed with each route (which would cuts a lot of pointless replay)
Unfortunately for the 5th ending (the true ending) you have to complete a route then proceed to start from the beginning with NG+
But if you’re really into the story, it will be worth it.
