this game over digimon survive?

[Bigote·D·gamba]

so the only game i have played about digimon is digimon world from ps1,so after seing digimon survive nostalgia hits hard,but i find it quite expensive for a visual novel and little gameplay,should i try this one since its on discount?

[T-kun]

Yes, you should try this one since all of them have their own story + background, they are not related.

You can play this one to try out Digimon game as this game has more Digimon rosters and more contents due to it has 2 games in 1 bundle.

The 2 games are related, so you should play Cyber Sleuth first then Hacker's Memory

Haven't played Survive yet because I'm also waiting for a discount but Cyber Sleuth is fun. And like mentioned above, you get 2 games for the price of one and both have a lot of content (if you want to go completionist it can take up to 100 hours to get everything in each of the two). I haven't played Digimon World 1 but I have spent a lot of time playing Digimon World 2 and 3 back in the day and this game didn't disappoint my expectations.

Do keep in mind this plays nothing like World 1. This one is a JRPG with a lot of back tracking and Random Quests that have little to do with the main plot. As long as your okay with that then this game is a lot of fun, especially for Digimon Fans.

if youve got a ps4 or 5 try Digimon World: Next Order, plays more like the original.

This game feels like your typical Pokemon title. If you're looking for Digimon World nostalgia, there's a sequel to that game on PS4/PS5.

I'm curious, in what way did it feel anything like Pokemon to you?

I get where he is coming from.

For me the monster collecting part is what makes it the most Pokemon-like feature for me speaking. I think a digimon game should implement V-Pet simulation in their further titles as thats where the roots were from. Cybersleuth makes these Digimon merely a weapon or tool for you to use instead of raising them like in Digimon World.

So mostly I just put this:

If you like Monster Collecting aspects: Get Digimon Story
If you like Monster Raising aspects: Get Digimon World 1 or Next Order or ReDigitize and pray to god Habu knows how to handle the next digimon world game

If you loved the Original Digimon Anime, Digimon Survive does its best in terms of Narrative the gameplay is not that bad either. Be warned that it is by core a Visual Novel so dont expect too much 'gameplay' I recommend to get it on sale like 40$ or 30% off if you found the Visual Novel aspects to not your liking

This game is entertaining because of it's Atlus jrpg style. To be maybe a little too honest, I think it's a failure as a Digimon game. It has the detective office from Devil Summoner Raidou vs The Soulless Army and plot beats from Shin Megami Tensei more than Digimon (especially groundwork Digimon series) featuers. This isn't so much to dissuade you but as a warning.

I agree with this, the moment I started playing it I immediately got heavy Shin Megami Tensei/Persona vibes.

[Celes Raev]

I get heavy Shin Megami Tensei and Persona vibes from this too, both games I love! Ahhhhh, the PS1 Digimon World games, those were amazing!

[Berioth]

Yes, survive is an interesting approach but its lacking imo, its a VN first and foremost and it shows on the collecting/gameplay side, gameplay is ultra basic and theres only 113 digimons total, thats super low.

[Kungfupacman]

If you are going to play this game, just speed run the cyber sleuth campaign. Don't spend too much time collecting or levelling its not worth it. Hackers memory is where you get to the more polished narrative. But even then its bogged down by the games poor gameplay
