Playing this game left me genuinely sad and mad. I’ve been a Digimon fan for years, and after really enjoying Cyber Sleuth, I was genuinely excited for this one. I wanted to love it so badly, but couldn't.

It’s not just the game that frustrates me — it’s the company behind it, and the players who keep enabling this nonsense. Watching people throw money at this just because it's a Digimon game feels pathetic. Nostalgia shouldn’t make you a paypig for a corporation that clearly doesn’t respect its fans.

This is a $70 title that barely lasts 35 hours, it’s impossible to recommend. Especially when other modern JRPGs offer more content, better pacing, and actual value for your money.


✅ The story is good, and the twist lands greatly (even if predictable).
✅ The characters carry the game; you’ll actually care for them, which is rare in monster-taming games.
✅ The core combat / Digimon evolution stuff is fun. There is a satisfaction in juggling builds and a wide variety of mons, but it really never challenges you meaningfully.
✅ It’s enjoyable until the flaws nag at you so badly you want to quit.


❌Every side quest is “go to X, fetch Y, return,” over and over. No variation. Fifty fetch quests just to kill time.
❌There’s no good spot in the game where you can reliably grind or level up without frustration (unless you buy the grind DLC). And right before the final fight, they dump dozens of side-quests into your journal just so they can say they have content.
❌At launch, there were game-breaking bugs: like Aegiomon not recovering HP/SP outside of battles, the Pegasusmon egg bug, etc. Seems like they were too busy making a dozen DLCs to QA.


❌ The game shipped with TEN DLCs from day one. So the devs literally withheld content for extra cash.
❌ The season pass (at ~$30) gives you virtually nothing meaningful at launch. The big “Gold Statue” is purely decorative. The rest (~15 mega digis) are scheduled for rollout in 2026. You’re paying now for content you might not get (or may not be worth it) later.
❌ There’s an NPC whose sole function is to open the Steam store. The main menu has a button that opens the DLC store. The game feels like a giant ad.
But it's worse: even if you don’t own a DLC item (outfit, music, whatever), the game adds it to your inventory menu anyway. If you accidentally click it, it pulls up the Steam store. Unwanted prompts to buy garbage you didn’t ask for.
❌ 20 bucks for a music DLC, lol.

If you want to enjoy this, you’ll have to mentally ignore the DLC crap, the side quests, the pacing issues, and the bugs. If you can do that, there’s a pulse of a decent JRPG underneath. But for what it charges, it fails to deliver.

If you like Digimon lore and are willing to be nickel-and-dimed, you might still find some joy. But if you expect a polished, generous JRPG you’ll be disappointed.
