    Com certeza o melhor digimon de luta, um jogo com várias opções de batalha, vários personagens e pega de até 4 players. Indico a todos que gostem de jogos de luta estilo smash bros, inclusive jogo até hoje com amigos!

    This game is terrible such a disgrace to the first.

    Evolutions aren't even emphasized it's like a casual evolution ughhh.
    No minigames
    Music is bad
    Stages are bad
    Characters have the same movesets
    No headroom for strategic play

    The gameplay is very good; the enemies can be easy and VERY hard, so the difficulty setting is good. But the problem is that some digimons are way stronger than others: Piyomon sucks so much it's almost impossible to win in hard with that, black versions are not only different, but stronger (grabs drain life), the music is absolute garbage compared to the first game.

The good part, other than the gameplay, is the maps, like toy madness, or the final stage; 3 evolutions and the unlockabl bosses. Expand

    this game kicks ass, maybe didn't age the best but can still squeeze a few hours of fun out of this every now and then.

    Is it worth buying? Its a game for kids really, I played it as an adult and really enjoyed it and it was just as good as I remember it, but thats because I already played it so much in my childhood. But if you have a kid run this game in a Playstation 2 emulator and show it to them, they might love it.

    Gameplay: Many characters that all have special moves and play somewhat different

    Gameplay: Many characters that all have special moves and play somewhat different from each other. And the evolve mechanic is super fun and adds to the gameplay. This game has also many unique map designs that give variety. And on top of that it even has different game modes. The game can also be played locally with 3 more players. And the bots are pretty smart surprisingly.

    Graphics: On an Emulator this game looks better than many games released in 2022, it also runs very well in 60Fps.

    Story: Doesnt have a story because it doesnt need one.

    Sound: Good sounds and good music.

    Fun: If you like the game genre you will have lots of fun with this game.

    9/10 Not perfect in any way but a darn fun game.

    Overall the game has more polish and a few new features, none that I would consider to be more than what you would find in an expansion pack.
  2. It is very depressing to see a game unashamedly take ideas from existing franchises. Worst still, Black Ship Games have not in anyway tried to improve on the game they so hopelessly ripped off.
  3. It may not inspire players to sing praises of its innovation or unparalleled gameplay, but it is nonetheless an entertaining foray into the world of monster collection.
