Difficulty

How is the difficulty of this game? Is it a time filler or is it actually challanging?

[Debiddo]

its a rock-paper-scissors like system, so to make it hard, the game is like Final Fantasy VI Bosses.
In CyberSleuth bosses sometimes have immunities to debuffs or some Crowd Controls.
But u can easily use a Physical or Magic dealer with ignore defense to beat them (also sometimes.
Some enemies, stack dmg until they kill u. So a minimal strategy is required.

I rlly recommend play with hard mode on. The entire game. And try not grind because is not a requirement

Why not?

Maybe because enemies HP... All doubled. Also dmg received increase a bit...
Most of common enemies have hp below 500, so, doubled, they have the same amount of you team probably have. On this way, you can get a game over for a Koromon Lv1 (because the rock-paper-scissors rules)

Hard is incredibly unbalanced. That is why.

I mean hard mode is nerfed compared to the PS4 version. i beat them on ps4 on hard, and think its the true way to play.

Let me reveal the truth to you because this guy has a completely different experience then me. This game was brain dead easy but towards the end every boss has been 1 hit killing all my digimon. Even grinding them all up to 99 has changed nothing. It's out of control. Im running out of patience with it. It's not even just the optional super bosses but the main story itself.

The game is neither hard nor easy, it's poorly balanced the entire time through. Same issue plagues Next Order. [can't speak for Hacker's Memory though - I played on Vita/PS4].

You can plow through everything like it's nothing and then die instantly like the guy above said at a boss requiring a lot of grinding to overcome or a move that ignores defense like Gatomon's claw attack. It's just so poorly balanced, even when they localized it and changed it it wasn't really any better. I played the Japanese Vita version as well before it was localized.

Hard mode is easy you just need to use the plat numemon x3/tactician usb x 9 and use piercing moves.

Also max out stats +150 with 200 abi in the right stat.

Ex: Lilithmon (brainy Personality) 150 to INT.

Hard mode offer more money and once you get the hang of things its very easy.

The real challenge and annoying part if you care about achievements is online. Since its almost impossible to find anyone the best way is NPC fights, and there are some broken teams, specifically in Events, atleast the current one since your stat training is nerfed. Normal online is doable.

LOL "hard mode is easy you just need some really high tier/end game/maxed out items, stats and digimon and know the nuances of the game!"

PlatNum is level 65 to get and to get the stats/items you mention you'll have to grind/buy digi's till you get the right build/personality, spend time farming, then raise ABI to where you need it.

I agree with the others that hard is actually kinda hard, non-grind things become grinds, and it's more of a "higher stat enemies" hard than a "smarter AI" hard....but it's not impossible. It does take away some of the casual charm I loved on my normal run, but it adds another level of satisfaction so, trade off.
