Edit: I think I might have found that they’ve actually added a dash in to slightly speed up movement over the original so that’s good, so used to the original I missed it entirely 😂
Hey SwitchUp Family is this one you’ve been looking forward to or is that price just a bridge too far? Let’s find out! Mark
Nice one Mark!
Will this Digimon game bring in a much needed new world order? Or should this franchise be put down? Let’s find out!
@@GrinningWolfGames Cheers mate!
@@kaidorade1317 hehehe there it is! Mark
Kewwll
Pokémon taught you it's OK to be a kid, Digimon teaches you it's OK to grow up. Loved the Digimon World games!
🎉🎉🎉
Amen.
Hmm this seems wrong cuz I'm old and I'm still a toys r us kid . Alright I need to buy the game to learn already .
Only thing dogimon taught me is its ok enslave beings from different realities if you love them
@@ConditionallyUsed cringe response to a cringe comment
A couple corrections:
The gym is not an overly important thing once you get to Rookie stage. Your stats grow far more efficiently killing other digimon that are strong enough to give you stats. The gym is only really helpful for In training/baby digimon, and later in the game at ultimate/mega where stat gains from other digimon falls off to almost nothing.
You can unlock the options to chose your digivolution route after you finish the first stage. Not too difficult to do so before your first generation of digimon ends.
I absolutely love this game though. I was obsessed with Digimon World 1 when i was a kid. Put thousands of hours into that game. The lack of reliance on the gym was actually a pretty big surprise to me because of that. The Gym was make or break in DW1. This game you only really need to hit the gym for a couple cycles until your digimon hit rookie stage, then head out and beat things up. Faster stat gains that way by a long shot, you can get hundreds of stats in the same in game time as it would take to get 70 or so stats in the gym.
When i learned this game was being ported, i couldn't wait for it. Grabbed it immediately, and put a good chunk of time into it so far. For sure the first hour or two of the game is pretty slow. But it's designed that way. you're starting from nothing and it's your job to put the city together. As you get more and more people to the city, the game opens up dramatically.
For anyone coming from Digimon World 1, and looking to pick this up for that style of game play, this is 100% recommended. It has everything DW1 had but with all those ease of access features we wish we had back then. You can slowly unlock evolution conditions in the game. you're not hard punished for not spending an hour (real time) in the gym every time your partner dies just so you can spend a couple of days of in game time actually exploring without getting smashed by everything. Your digimon don't forget moves when they die!
My only real gripe with the game is that they actually dumbed it down big time compared to DW1. DW1 is a far more difficult game. It's not even a comparison.
With tamer skills, your digimon can revive with a massive amount of stats as you get a couple generations in. My "In Training" Digimon are actually stronger than my first generation of Ultimates were stat wise. I'm only in my 4th generation.
If you look around for other reviews, almost everyone is going to say this game is ridiculously hard and throws you in the deep end. If you are coming from DW1, this game is easy mode.
Played on "Easy" difficulty cause reviews said that normal mode is brutal as hell. Probably a good idea for a first run through until you figure out the game a bit. But very quickly the game becomes trivial for anyone that actually has beaten DW1. use easy to learn material farming locations, and how to raise your digimon properly. But i'm 100% going to be starting a new game on hard mode before long. It's just too easy on easy mode.
The biggest thing that stands out for the massive dump in raising your digimon is, it's stupidly easy to get to mega digimon. you're not going to be stuck with Numemon every other cycle because you used that round to farm up materials or whatever. you can easily grow your digimon along side farming materials.
As an example: Max stats is 9,999 for the normal stats, 99,999 for HP and MP. So 10x what it was in DW1. but evolution requirements weren't increased by 10x.
You'd think with that, you'd need 4,000+ stats to get to a Mega digimon then. It's not even close. You can get to most megas at around 1,000 stats. Which makes it a lot easier to get out there and explore later, but your mega digimon is ridiculously weak.
Most Champions only need 2-300 stats, and most ultimated are around 600 or so stats.
So yeah, they dumbed down the difficulty big time.
That's my only real gripe with it. It's not anything overly broken, it's actually a good thing to be honest, i just don't like the lack of difficulty overall haha.
It gets a 9/10 overall for me as a old school DW1 lover. Here's hoping they make another game in the series some day!(i don't count re-digitize as it never released outside japan)
The difficulty actually surprised me, replayed world 1 in preparation on my hacked vita (which is a great way to expirence world 1 tbh) and was stunned that in my first cycle i never got a bad digimon and actually had 2 megas before the City grew, so around the time i had to go to Taomon.
Also feels like they live way longer, after 20 days my digimon died which gave me quite some time to get tamer rank and build up the city, according to the in game time I'm 18 hours in and just started the second cycle but i guess it's closer to 5 hours since it seems like the in game timer doesn't stop in standby and there is no chance i played 18 hours. Tamer rank is at 16 by now so yeah its way easier.
Not complaining though the game is awesome and I'm glad it's finally on a system that i own.
Thank you. Very informative. Now my only question is have you played online? And how does online work? Do you recommend switch or pc? That's my biggest concern always. The ease of the switch is very appealing but if performance is very lacking in switch or if online mode is a pretty important part of the game experience I'd go pc
@@slandergames9494 online is extremely unimportant, as far as i saw there are just some kinds of daily quests and battles which play automatically with a team you saved up. For the price the PC Version might be more appealing to you since it is only like 20 bucks or something there but the performance on the switch is flawless in both modes i think it might actually be stable 60 fps.
@@slandergames9494 Haven't really done much of anything online. It gives you a quest you can complete each day for some online shop point things, but don't need to do any of it at any point.
There is a few free gifts you can get on every save file for some stat chips and evolution cores in the dimensional chest(way to access online). Good idea to grab them for easy money early on, since you don't really need to the stats from them. Would keep the evolution cores for later if you're planning on completing the evolution guide though.
There is a PvP aspect to it that i've never done anything with. So can't tell you how that works.
In short, online play is not needed at all. Most use i've had for it is just connecting for 60 seconds at the start of a play through to grab the items for some early money.
Haven't played the PC version, but there is almost no lag on the switch. loading screens go by quite quick and everything. I believe this is a better game for switch just so you're not stuck in your computer desk playing all the time.
Note: I do not know if i was just having a bug or not, but the game would not load the starting screen if my wifi was not connected. I'm not 100% sure this game does not require internet connection to start up or not for switch. just kept freezing before the main menu would show up. The second i reconnected to wifi the game loaded normally again though.
So go in knowing that you may need a wifi connection to at least load the game, but you really don't need it for anything in the game for more than a couple seconds unless you want to do PvP which i can not explain to you how that works as i've never tried.
Maybe I'll give this a go. I have many nostalgic feelings for the first PS1 Digimon World but never played the sequels 😅
The sequels all play different anyways, this game tries to be a spiritual successor to DW1
it drove me insane completing the whole game digimon world 1
It’s definitely not worth $60 dollars, $40 is what is worth. When it goes on sale I’ll get it 😊
Facts
amen 🫡
I still don't get the $60 price. Even more knowing it's a port
$60!? I payed $20 for this year's ago on the PS4 new. Sale it is
on sale for 10 bucks rn
You know. This all reminds be greatly of my most fondly remembered Digimon game. Digimon World 1. I remember spending hundereds of hours as a kid, if not more playing that and never did figure it all out
The best thing about this game is that it's FUN. Most games nowadays worry about so many different things. This one is just a ton of fun :)
Solid review Mark and great points. I picked Cyber Sleuth up on sale and I've seen Survive cheap too- so I have no doubt that this one will drop soon. Its great that we have 3 (technically 4) digimon games on switch. It's also great to have so much choice when it comes to mon taming and it looks like it's only going to get better this year!
I don't think they announced any other Digimon games for this year... They are working on a couple though
@@zacziggarot So I've heard, there's a whole host of great looking indie monster taming/collector games coming this year though.
Haven't picked up any of the Pokémon or Digimon games yet...but picked up Monster Sanctuary recently finally on sale and am super addicted to it now. Didnf think I'd be enjoying it as much as I am, it's definitely a bargain at just under $7US. Thinking cyber sleuth will be my next grab
Survive was SOOOO good.
It's more like a visual novel mixed with fire emblem but man, I loved it.
Which one did you enjoy the most?
Wait Jijimon!? This is a sequel to the original PS1 game!?
Yep. That game mechanic of rebuilding File City, a training gym, the needs system. All from the original.
And that music is an upgraded version of the original. I know it's a last gen level game but I probably won't wait for a sale. It's just touching my inner child too much to wait for a sale
If you haven't gotten the game yet, just know it actually is a sequel 100%. Mameo(your character in DW1) is in the game. It's a different dimension to the one in DW1, but that same game play style and such. It's an amazing throwback to 20 years ago playing DW1
Hey i love digimon world games at ps1 especially the 1st. I can still play the original from ps1 but i was thinking to buy this also at nintendo switch. Is it worth? Did you play it?
Played this a bunch on the PS4, so glad that it's out on other platforms! Maybe my favorite Digimon game~
Yeah I think a lot of people wrote it off before it got good. Mark
Side Note:
You CAN ACTUALLY GET exactly the Digimon that you want, once you unlock the Dojo and have recruited Antylamon for the City. Good look working towards that goal 😁
For sure: not right away though in the same way as Pokémon. Just tempering/guiding expectations. Mark
Honestly, I kinda like actually having to work hard for my partners to get stronger, and that I have multiple options if I don't like a certain evolutions' stats or moves.
Maybe I'm just a masochist, or I just hate myself, but grinding for the strongest digvolutons is really fun for me
I definitely look forward to trying this out but yeah 60$ for a port if a older game is a bad habit that devs do at times.
Times when they know consumers will blithely pay that
The game looks good, but also like it'd take a lot of investment to get into. Especially at that premium price... I think that'll go on the "wait for sales" pile 😊 thanks for the review!
its on sale!! right now until Sept 30th for 47.99$ (40% off)
@@myheartbelongstowhat my, thank you so much for reminding me! I really appreciate it! 😊🙏
I’m so ready for this game. Mine is in the mail right now, and when it arrives I’ll be all over it lol
I've never played this game but hearing all the stuff it has, this sounds like my dream Tamagotchi + Digimon game xD Definitely adding it to my wishlist.
...I need to play more Digimon games tbh.
I remember watching both pokemon and digimon growing up. Still a fan to this day.
Fair review! As much as I love Digimon I knew I was never cut out for this gameplay, growing up I could never get my Digimon to become anything other than a turd (Sukamon) on PSX..
I picked it up and it's a stunning example of what you can do with this art style. I did find the text in handheld is very tiny and I may need to whip out some reading glasses for it as there's no way to change it lol
I'm glad you brought the price up it's basically criminal, especially since it seems to be impossible to find a physical copy in canada.
Fellow Canadian here, I feel your pain 😩
Always liked how different Digimon was vs Pokemon in the game style most of the time.
I keep hoping for Robopon 3 for some more variety.
I think the mobile toilet and „special move poop toss“ sold me now
You forgot to mention that your digimon actually have lifespans and will eventually die after a certain amount of time and become reborn into new digieggs. Certain factors can also change their lifespan.
Will this be the game that finally drags me into the seemingly convoluted world of Digimon? Let's find out. 😆
Play cyber sleuth, they are amazing
This and the cyber sleuth are the 2 ends of the pole so if you don’t like one try the other but in my opinion both are great
On dragon ball z.
@@maxplays9187 I found myself coming back to next order after getting fatigued by the 50 mons in the farms in cyber sleuth, its just a nice change of pace to focus on 2 mons at a time. To each his own though.
Story games (like Cyber Sleuth), Survive, and World games (like this) are all very different experiences that are all worth experiencing in their own unique rights.
Thanks for doing this review! I like the look of this one, but mildly dislike other elements, so didn't end up preordering it. Your review sold me on it, though I'll most likely get it on a sale
Everyone was talkinng about this and I thought wait that games been out why is it full price. Honestly Cyber Sleuth was more of my jam before Digimon Survive came out.
This kind of reminds me how awesome the PS Vita was for its time.
So glad you did a review of this, thank you! It looks fun, but I think I’ll definitely wait for a sale.
Preordered this already looking forward to jumping in ! Another great review Thankyou!!
Cheers Dan! Mark
This game feels like Cyber Sleuth meets Ni No Kuni and I actually really find myself liking it a lot
I'll definitely pick this up when it drops down to $30 or less
Anyone remember Jade Cocoon? That was quite interesting back in the day on the PSOne. Popped into my head when I was thinking about all the monster collecting games 😂monster rancher I know from the anime
Loved Jade Cocoon back in the day
Yeah it’s one of my fav games ever
Watching people he obsessed with pal world reminded me of my digimon world 2 obsession when I was a little kid. The Lego digimon. I loved discovering all the digimon
I remember Digimon world next order on PS4 , and hopefully it's more stable than tales of Symphonia Remastered 💙💙😅😅
Full price for a port is already baffling but Bandai even went another step ahead by giving bad regional pricing on steam for this game.
As a digimon fan it does irks me because I know if the sales are bad they'll just blame it on the game being unpopular instead of bad marketing choices.
Never been into Digimon, only ever Pokemon lol. However this could be good 👍
I think this would click with you mate. It’s very very verrrrrry addictive once you get the hang of it. Mark
I do love getting addicted 🤣🤣🙈
The original vision for Tamagotchi (which Digimon is a spin-off from) was "what if a game simulated all the downsides of having a pet" - a philosophy Digimon has often held onto, in some form to some degree.
If you're a big Pokémon fan then you can think of it as a challenge that asks: "Can you handle the side of monster raising that Pokémon skips simulating?"
once this goes onsale i’ll definitely be picking it up! i’ve already got survive and cybersleuth so i’ll be going for the full set of digimon games on the switch :)
Just know that this is way different from those games.
Great fair review, looks awesome. I got the other Digimon game for switch because of you guys in a previous video 🤩
One thing there is a run button. If you press y while in battle you can use escape then you are returned to the map entrance to get away. This does have a punishment of damaging your bond. The game is worth the money because it’s extremely long and has allot of replay value seeing that you can raise your digimon a different way. They can try out different digi eggs. The new game+ even has a new digiegg added which in turn gives you new digimon and evolution that you didn’t have on the first play through . You can also do daily quests etc. So it’s worth the 60 euro to people who loved the first digimon world for example (which are ALLOT of people). Just because you don’t like the way you need to play this doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a loving audience.
Yes mate thanks, I found it after making the review I was so used to no run I didn’t even try! Oof, thanks. Love the game it’s very addictive. Mark
Digimon on the vita is such a great game and I think digimon needs more love. Seeing it come to a big platform is really good for the franchise
Yeah it’s a really good game but that price is mad. Mark
@@SwitchUpYt agreed. Honestly think that anything that is ported from older consoles doesn't really deserve $60. The game is basically refreshed, but it's not a new game
@@jaydig2 at least it's not $90 with DLC
I missed this game and it gives me the original digimon world vibes, which was the best weirdest tamagochi game of all time
Watched more digimon anime than pokemon when I was a kid. The nostalgia really kicks in. Will be picking this up on a later date 🤩
I did not expect a review of this game. Nice!
60 fps is nice. But those severe frame drops is ouchy. 😥
I agree
I bought this on PS4 the other day for $12. I am new to Digimon and I figured I had to start somewhere, why not with this?
Have this on PS4... struggled with my initial pick playing blind...wanted the cute ones. I sometimes experience RPG paralysis when it comes to choices. I don't want the "wrong" path.
There is no wrong path
@@michelgerber5781 I know...but also...lol
It's definitely a wait for a sale game as 60 quid is far too steep. Especially as Octopath Traveller 2 is out in two days time.
Totally agree. Mark
Worth noting that eventually you unlock the ability to choose what your digimon will evolve into
Europe version is missing the audio option, so we can't change to Japanese audio, I'm putting the game on hold until it gets patched.
How can you have a Japanese intro song but no Japanese dub option for a specific region?
Nice review! Loved how in-depth your explanations were
Slight correction, Nintendo didn't make this game $60, namco did. It's full price on steam too.
£55. Jesus wept. Hopefully it drops to around £40 by the summer (summer sale)
Mad init!?
You forgot to mention that they really focused on the trail and error concept because even if you do all the necessary things for your two digimon they will die and get reborn again.which put me off at first when I first played it on PS4 now I'm use to it
The nostalgia is there, but $60 is high imo. It'll be on steam too so it should go on sale soon.
Ah yes! This the Digimon I know back in the PS1 days! Imma get this on sale, will try it on the pc first!
Interestingly, while the Pokemon franchise never did it for me, I've always enjoyed the Digimon anime (at least the original one, Digimon Adventures, didn't get to see much of the other Digimon anime). I guess having the monsters actually speak and have personalities made it more compelling to me. I have yet to play a Digimon game however (or any mon game for that matter). Unfortunately, this doesn't seem like the one that'll make me jump into the videogame side of the franchise. Maybe the next one...
It's a very rough sketch.. $60 is totally a rob
$30-$40 is probably what it's worth
It should be noted that this is an upgraded port of a Vita game, which is why some of it feels last-gen.
One of my favourite PS4 games, very addictive
This is the same story and game play of the first digimon world d game at ps1 .. addictive and fun .. i even played it multiple times for the experience
Thanks for the review. I was on the fence but this seems like something really enjoyable
I enjoyed that review wasn't completely negative, but praised the positive. Well done!
Finally, Digimon release this old school as their first ever digimon game.
One thing about this game. After a while when you unlock enough things, you can streamline the digivolution you will have and kind of choosing it. So it gets that qol.
This game is really really good, and if you feel nostalgic for the DW1 of ps1, you will love this.
Dont come here expecting another pokemon, they are really different genres, this is more "roguelike" cause your mons die and reset, and you have two, but is really good.
It’s on sale on PSN for $10 now btw
This game is 10/10 for me due to DW1 nostalgia. God the OST is bazookas! Really loved the Sentimental Sand Storage and Blue Chant (ne0 version) song among others. Btw gym is not important at all. You can go level up and finished the game rather quickly even without going inside the gym once. You just need to know where the digimon gives lot exp and money on each map such as BlackWeregarurumon in Bony Resort. He is you best exp and especially money farm in the game early on. When you get money, unlock MagnaAngemon in restaurant and rest is easy.
I got digimon survive on day 1, big mistake, so i will def wait for this one to be on sale
I can see this being a big hit for those that grew up loving Digimon. That was never me, but a lot of people will like this being on Switch!
I will buy it once the price down to 9$
It looks like the Switch version is closer to the PSVita version graphically while the pc port looks like the ps4 version.
I just checked my wishlist and it’s on sale, think that means it’s time to pick it up.
I really hope someone remakes Digimon world 3. That game is amazing but desperately needs some QOL improvements
With my backlog I’ll wait for it’s sale
Would this be considered the definitive Digimon game?
Oh I got this on PS4 and I bought this on release for my switch, definitely better than Digimon Survive as my purchase did not feel like I was ripped off.
Unlike Survive, but I love Digimon
dang it. Octopath Traveler 2, Kirby Returns to Dreamland deluxe and Digimon world next order. i only have enough for 1 game and i like them all.
curse my wide variety of preferences
Enjoyed this game on PS4 and thought it would be a perfect fit for Switch, but I'm not paying full price for a port
Fair review. Hope it was priced lower and it'll have better score for sure!
I’ll take this “last gen” asset quality with 60fps over the opposite anytime.
Never played a digimon game, might pick this up on sale
Every beginner of Digimon will have a numemon or sukamon in their game 😂. It’s like a rite of passage.
If you get a Sukamon in this game it was 100% your fault. Toilets and Porto potties are EVERYWHERE
I was a big fan of the original Digimon World game and loved season 1 of the show. Saying that this seems like a wait for a sale for me
"...pokin' him on on the platform?"
Well I never!
The youth of today, I ask you...
😂
Pokémon puns ftw
I dont really like Digimon, and i honestly enjoy games that are pretty old for the switch (like botw, smo, ssbu and mk8d), but i watch your videos anyway- cuz i enjoy it
Keep the good work guys
Appreciate that! Mark
Hello!!!The Review copy; how itworks? Is a digital version with a timer to prove it? Or a physical copy you can have?
Psst, this version actually does have a run button! Hold down B!
I literally came to this review hoping to see the run function 😂
My god you had the slime and red veggie at the same time. Absolute worst rolls early on. 😂
IKR 😞
Thanks for the review. I want to play it, but $60 is too hefty, imo. I'll wait till it goes on sale, especially since I only recently picked up a copy of Cybersleuth for a really good price and I'm still very early.in that game. I'm good to play that Digimon entry for a good while before I hunt down a decently priced copy of World.
come join the line on waiting the game to drop to 30 bucks in the spring season 🛎as per every digimon game
Well, this looks better than I gave it credit for, to be honest. I'll be adding it to my wishlist, and if I see a decent sale, I might pick it up.
Thank you for the review! It was really insightful as always.
I have several questions about the stats on that Numemon and Red Veggiemon. Were you raising them on purpose, or legit training failures?
Wish this game was not 80 dollars on switch I can wait for it to go on sale
what joycons are you using at 1:34? I've been wanting to upgrade mine on my oled
All info in description mate
Ou that value score. Think your totally right, asking price is just a bit to much not on sale
I have never played Digimon or any Pokemon game. Something about them just never appealed to me but I'm willing to give this a chance. It looks like fun. I'll catch it on sale though. $60 for this just seems a bit steep in my opinion
I'm not a fan of the price tag, but I took the hit as I'd be so happy for a current gen Digimon game (that's not a visual novel, I thought DIgimon: Survive was great in it's own way) to come out that can stand next to or rather improve upon the lightly shallow state of the pokemon series.
*Digimon
Maybe performance should be the last section of your review. I think most people are interested in gameplay before performance.
This game forces you to get attached for them die and get reborn. It's still one of my favorite games. I do hate the 60 price.
Im interested, but yeah they need to stop releasing years old games at full price. No other industry that i can think of works that way.
I wonder if it will also run good on the steamdeck, because the full price on switch seems a bit much I have to say
It would be flawless I imagine
@@SwitchUpYt Cyber sleuth did run very bad and didn't even start often, Digimon games and Steam deck or overall japanese devs seem to just forget about the deck :D but ya I am already glad it seems to run great on the switch :)
Payed 32 for this with a beanie worth it at that price
I got this game on the PS5 the other day for $10 and I'm honestly just confused on what I'm supposed to do and how I'm supposed to do it. My Digimon always seem needy for resources I barely have and getting new digimon to come to my town is not explained very well. Glad I did not pay the switch price because it is not worth more than the $10 I paid IMO..
