    why is every sidequest in this game "find the random npc in this huge maze-like dungeon with cryptic or outright misleading clues"?
    i'd ignore them if not for the fact you really need the extra exp for the main quests.
    the game feels like a slow slog to play, for that alone. and if that wasnt bad enough, the boss fights are total HP-sponges who dont even put up a fight. you'll get like    why is every sidequest in this game "find the random npc in this huge maze-like dungeon with cryptic or outright misleading clues"?

    you'll get like one fun challenging boss battle for every several nothing-fights.
    i... kinda hate this. please play literally any other digimon game, just stay away from dawn/dusk.
    its a shame too, cuz the starter digimon is awesome and should be in more games.
    and the fact that some ultimate digimon simply cannot evolve to mega is an insult.    … Expand

    More Tamagotchi battling that's superior to World Championship if only because you actually get to direct the fights in this one.

    Series fans'll eat it up , but others may want to contemplate whether learning the Digiropes is something they're really willing to invest in.

    It feels more like an expansion pack or parallel game than a true sequel. There are a ton of Digimon to collect, it's just unfortunate that players are forced to progress through a fetch-quest storyline.

    If you're looking for monster RPG different than Pokemon this is your game. Just don't expect it to be as good as Pokemon, despite the cooler looking evolved monsters.
