    Ignore the folks who are review bombing it -- this is a great game.

    Yes, it's a visual novel with tactical RPG battles. If you don't like reading, it's ok to not play it. If you *do* like reading, though, the dialogue and story are great.

    I've beaten the game about three times. Put in about 50+ hours. I'm somewhat of a Digimon Fan because I liked the show's first three seasons. If you don't want to read everything, just head to the bottom.

    Graphics: .7

    The graphics are in 2.5D. This is fine with me, but to get a 10, you need to be somewhere in the realism dimension. The drawings are delicate, and the effects are pretty simple—nothing to complain about here, but nothing special.

    Story: 1

    I won't say much because I don't want to spoil anything. The story is dark compared to the original series and only gets dimmer based on your decisions. But, I'll say that in my first playthrough, I lost two of my comrades. And wow, that was dark and awesome all at the same time. However, on my second run, I was able to save everyone; honestly, it didn't feel as awesome as the first run. So, I'll grade this game based on my first run.

    Gameplay: .3

    The gameplay is similar to Final Fantasy Tactics, but if we're being honest here, I would rather play FFT than this game. FFT may be a PS1 game, but it's worlds better than this one. This game is straightforward and stale.

    Characters: .5

    I do like that your decisions affect the characters and what becomes of them, but I'm not too fond of the fact that some of these characters jump 180 with their personalities once their arc is over and done with. Really? No one changes that fast.

    Anyway, for some characters, I feel they won't even die or betray you based on your answers. The decision affects die after you progress a particular portion of the game. As for the characters themselves, they're pretty JRPG structured. You have the best friend, the cute girl, the older sister type, the cool guy, etc.

    Music: .7

    I will say that the music gave me the feeling that things were going to get dark. So that was the most memorable type of music for me, but as for everything else, it fit, but it wasn't unique or special.

    Customization: .1

    This game is absolutely simple. One skill per Digimon, every Digimon can digivolve to mega, two equipment items, items to use during battles, items to use to increase stats, and that's about it.

    Time of Play: 1

    If you plan on doing multiple routes or just doing the new game+ -- that'll take about 30-40 hours, which is a good amount. However, it's not worth $60. Let's be honest here. Again, 70% story and 30% gameplay, and again, the gameplay is dull.

    Content: .1

    This game is a visual novel with a lot of story, but outside of that, it's empty.

    UI/Fluidty: 1
    The UI fits the story, and the loading times are super fast. But, of course, the game itself is pretty shallow so it would make sense. Emotional Impact: .7 A lot of nostalgia, which was awesome, and the deaths of those characters due to my decisions were pretty impactful too. However, once you dissect the game, it's a rather shallow game. However, this grade will be based on my first playthrough. Total Score: 6.1 Digimon Survive is a game for Digimon Fans and those who enjoy Visual Novels. I, for one, am both. However, I don't believe this game is worth $60. The game is hyped up by its reputation and not by its substance within the game itself. DS has its moments, but those moments don't overcome all the other flaws within itself. The flaws are so significant that I will tell you that this game is probably worth about $30 max. Similar to when I bought a PS1 game as a kid.    … Expand

After reading through half the game (about 15 hours) there were like 2-3 interesting things that happened. So I dropped it.

    The group of characters takes about 2-3 hours just to start moving the plot forward a little bit, then something actually happens and right after it's boring af again for hours. The tactical rpg aspect could have been cool, but it's slow, little room for creativity and just not fun to play.

    Play Cyber Sleuth instead or Devil Survivor.    … Expand

Overall I think people are mad they can't make the dinosaurs fight more and while that's valid. it's a visual story more than anything and if you like the lore of the franchise then you will truly love this game.… Expand

    Gameplay is very shallow and simple, the RPG aspect could have been explored in a better way.
    It's a graphic novel disguised as a game, so there's a lot of reading to do between the few playable moments, and in my personal opinion, the story could be better.

    5/10 if you don't care about Digimon, 7/10 if you do. A lot of folks focus on the idea that somehow this game is great as long as you recognize that it's a visual novel, but that's simply not the case. Not to say it's bad either, it's just a very middle of the road title. In all honesty, the story and characters are enjoyable, which is obviously a big plus for this sort of game.

Not to say it's bad either, it's just a very middle of the road title. In all honesty, the story and characters are enjoyable, which is obviously a big plus for this sort of game. The presentation is also very easy on the eyes, with expertly drawn artwork, a mild amount of animations, and great looking Digimon rigs in battle. Some people may see the number of available Digimon and be disappointed when comparing to games with larger rosters, but the scope and progression of the game really make that a non-issue, the number of Digimon units you can recruit and evolve feels just right. However, where the game begins to lose points is in the gameplay itself, both the visual novel and tactics gameplay. Starting with the battles, there is absolutely nothing new brought to the table here. If you've played a strategy game on the PS1, then you know exactly what you are getting into. Maps are big but units don't always have movement options to account for that, so you can end up sending 4-5 turns just trying to reach an opponent, or more if said opponent is programmed to just run to the far corner of the map. It's pretty uninteresting overall, especially when playing on lower difficulty levels. I hear some people say that auto-battle makes that a non-issue, but if the preferred way to play a game is to not play it at all, then there is likely something wrong here. Similar to games like Fire Emblem, you can attempt to recruit opponents depending on the battle type, though this process is very tedious, and begs you to just use a guide. Whether you have the chance to recruit depends on whether you guess the right answers to 3 questions, with the mediocre translation making your responses nonsensical at times (a running theme in the game). Not that it matters, as there is absolutely nothing to indicate what the correct answer should be, it's a complete guess if this is your first time hearing that enemy give that question. Even if you do get every answer right, you can still lose out on recruiting simply because you only have a percentage chance to be successful, depending your character's current alignment, so some Digimon will always just be more difficult to get depending on the route you are attempting to take.

    Battles of course are only a third of the equation, possibly less depending on how you play. The game is first and foremost a visual novel and it really likes to draw that out. The scenarios exist largely to waste your time, as it can take a significant amount of time for anything meaningful to happen. Characters waste time repeating information constantly, and not just single sentences. A perfect example is chapter 4, where the exact same 5-minute situation plays out at least 3 times, with no progression of any kind, followed by the most drop-dead uninteresting exploration I've ever experienced. It's clear they were really trying to include gameplay elements for the sake of simply including gameplay elements, but these portions of the game would have been MORE interesting without needless player interaction. Meanwhile for cases where player choice does matter, the localization is once again very hit and miss, making it sometimes difficult to choose an answer you would actually agree with. The free-time segments are probably where the visual novel aspect shines, as despite the confusing translation, you generally do end up at least getting to know the characters better.

    All of these complaints are mostly harmless, but they do add up to make an experience that isn't by any means new or interesting. There are much better visual novels, there are much better tactics games, go play those instead if you haven't. If you really like Digimon (which I do), then you may at least find value in this being an enjoyable Digimon narrative.    … Expand

    I am a digimon fan. I have *always* loved digimon games and regularly play digimon world 1 to this day.

    That said, every digimon game has some fatal flaw that prevents me from recommending it to a friend. Digimon Survive is no exception. Let's start with the good: 1. I honestly love the characters.

    That said, every digimon game has some fatal flaw that prevents me from recommending it to a friend. Digimon Survive is no exception.

    Let's start with the good:
    1. I honestly love the characters. They are all quite solid.
    2. The story is great.
    3. It is pretty polished and looks great for the most part.
    4. Combat is actually pretty good. I know it looks like a bad mobile game, but it is quite fun.

    Now for the bad:
    1. The digivolution mechanic is... not great. I would argue that the most important aspect of any digimon game is it's digivolution mechanic. In this game, your digimon changes based on your choices in the visual novel. That's cool, but many digimon only have 1 option available and there's no DNA digivolution option to spice things up.
    2. I hate agumon. This is the only digimon game I have ever played where I am *forced* to play with an agumon partner. I just don't like this guy. Never have and never will.
    3. You *must* play as Takuma. I recognize that there were some press releases that explained you would be playing through the game as Takuma, but the main website really makes it seem like he is just one of many possible main characters. I don't think Takuma is bad, but I feel like I would have preferred to play as almost any other character.

    Other notes:
    1. There aren't too many available digimon. If you are a monmon fan, you are out of luck.
    2. I had a bunch of technical issues on steam. I am completely unable to save and sometimes the game will just freeze after the intro cutscene. I recognize that this could be my fault, so I am not holding that against the game for this review.

    The verdict: If you like visual novels, Digimon Survive is pretty decent. If you like the digimon anime, you might like this game. If you are expecting a traditional digimon game, you probably will not like this game.    … Expand

    If you don't like orange, don't order orange juice. This is a visual novel, which is a pretty niche genre. If loads of dialogue annoy you, this game simply isn't for you.
    However, if you enjoy Digimon and a pretty good story with (some) decent characters, take it. It's an amazing visual novel and an amazing Digimon game.

    TL;DR: This game fails at every corner, becoming a subpar tactical RPG, and an even worse VN.

    The long awaited newest Digimon Release is unsurprisingly a massive disaster.

    The game is split up into two Sections and intertwine: One being a Visual Novel about a handful of Kids lost in a different world, desperate to get back home. the other part is a table top / fire emblem esque RPG.
    First off: The actual combat of this game feels bland at its best. There is virtually no difficulty here either, even when turned to hard. Even when you're just farming for necessary Items to advance your Units you'll most likely end up so horribly over leveled that the entire twist of this game style is immediately lost. On the other hand these exact Items On the note of necessary items - The way they are hidden is beyond cryptic. On a blind playthrough you'll maybe stumble into one or two of these but good luck finding the required amount to actually get the Digimon you really wanted. All in all it feels like a very very poor copy of original Games using this gameplay mechanic. The boss fights never pose any challenge at all, as the player is given so many tools to power up their units and Items are so abundant that nothing really can stand in the players way.
    This bland and sometimes blatantly boring design could be easily dismissed if the Story would hold up.

    But it doesn't.

    The Visual novel part takes up about 60% to 70% where your choices mildly affect the story on your first go. It's appreciated that they tried to implement a much much heavier tone into this game, something I always enjoyed in the Digimon franchise.
    However the writing in this game is very dry. Characters feel more like cardboard than actual human beings. Each of them lacking common sense in more then one department. The character twists are either obvious or just mind numbing.
    Many times you'll find characters act in a certain, completely unrealistic and even stupid, way just so the game can drag on for another 40minutes, so you can fix the issue. By the end of the story each and every character has grinded my patience to the ground. I cannot stress enough how bad this writing is!

    Honestly if you're a hardcore digimon fan I would recommend getting this in a sale. There is some around the corner throwback to the og series.
    BUT if you're not a Digimon stan then stay the hell away.
    This VN is devastatingly bad and the rest of the game doesn't make up for it.

    Very sad to see yet another subpar Digimon release...

    Being a visual novel is never a problem when a skip button is there to ignore all the filler dialogue, but when you get to the actual gameplay element and it is not at all good to look at it.

    The UI and layout mixed with the lackluster 2D sprites gives me a good amount of grief waiting and hoping for the next Story/World game. What made them decide to go in this direction is baffling because instead of improving and learning from the previous iteration of games, the developers decide to go off in a completely different direction from the core fans. And as a core fan of the Digimon IP, I would never recommend someone new to franchise to ever pick up a game like this because the World and Story games are undeniably the better option and entry points.

    It's almost like playing Hunie Pop except Hunie Pop is a million times more engaging in all aspects.
    Just because it's a visual novel, doesn't mean it shouldn't have proper game elements.
    Persona did it right, Fire Emblem did it right, Disco Elysium did it right

    Sorely disappointed that with numerous delays that this is the result we get.

    Decisions and deaths is the scoop of this visual novel, but is a fallacy. Events occur by default regardless of the player's decisions or parameters they have obtained.
    Always in your 1st game certain characters will die with their digimon and certain characters will live, even if you send them to the battlefield as a sacrifice.

    So it seems that the only real decision is to buy this title or not.

    Most of the characters have cartoon personalities and do not make decisions that a human would make in reality and it doesn't feel like a mature story at all, but the death scenes can be disturbing for the little so I don't understand what audience it could be directed.

    For other part, Takuma doesn't compl as a character or as an avatar, and it's hard to connect with him. There is no female lead character as in the case of Cyber ​​Sleuth or Next Order.

    Regarding the story, it is poorly worked and the translations in parts are poorly done.
    I feel that 4 years gave them time to think well about the plot, but not respected the basic concept of digimon (digital beings) and treated them as ghosts/spirits.
    The twist of the story is not surprising at all, many events are too predictable, which makes the story feel heavy, for taking so long on something obvious.

    Regarding the SRPG, it is an interesting proposal but still green, however, it has potential.

    The balance between digimon does not exist, and some have a clear preferentialism and others have been very disadvantaged.

    The price for what it offers is not correct.

    I would say that it greatly influences how you get along with the characters influences whether you like the title or not, so if you do not check the deaths and survivors you can run into an unpleasant disappointment of the title, as I said the deaths are default and unavoidable.
    And I mention it because if you dislike both characters that will survive in all the routes, the game becomes torture for completed and can access to NG+...    … Expand

    Digimon Survive is a Isakai Horror Mystery Visual Novel Fire Emblem monster collection game that is definitely not for young children with choices that lead to a branching story like until Dawn.

You will love some characters amd hate others as you try to survive in this crazy and gritty world where Characters can die or be driven insane inside a world that os of a mix of the upside down in stranger things amd the island in Lost. The story is very deep and well written an pays almage to past Digimon Anime. It's not the type of game you wanna get if your a story skipper there's maybe 5 hours of gameplay if you skip story and dont do any of the extra or monster collection. I find myself trying to hurry thru gameplay sometimes so i can get back to the story amd see what happens next. In my opinion it's atleast a solid 9.5 but imma give it a 10 to help offset all those 0 that this game doesn't deserve.… Expand

    Digimon Survive is an exciting alternate take on the tone and style of the Digimon series. It doesn't execute things flawlessly - those opening chapters are a bit of a chore and the tactics gameplay is simple with a capital 'S'. Still, when things kick off and the story starts to come together, it's a suspenseful and gripping journey that I'm glad I got to experience.

    Blending a pure visual novel with a turn-based tactical RPG combat, Digimon Survive is one of the best surprises of this year so far despite its issues. It is held back by some localization issues, but feels great to play on PC including Steam Deck after a post-launch patch addressed most of the issues. Digimon Survive also serves as a nice entry point into the franchise for newcomers as long as you aren't turned off by the structure.

    Digimon Survive has both a well-made story and a deep combat system that will engage players through each route they may take, but the first few hours are ill-paced with long breaks away from combat.
