    This game is a VISUAL NOVEL it literally says that. Many other reviews are ignoring that. Story telling wise, this is digimon at its peak. Seriously one of the best visual novels out there. This is aimed at older audiences or long term fans. The strategy gameplay is great, only cons to this game is that there's no English voice acting and that there's no online.

    Thw visual novel is like playing an anime. The story telling is well done and when it gets into the strategy gameplay it makes me really think out my moves carefully. I'm enjoying this game a lot.

    As far as Visual novels go this is such a solid experience and a great game, Bandai Namco was open from the start that this was a visual novel, people are actually review bombing this cause it’s a genre they don’t like, it’s the same thing as giving Mario Kart a 0 because it has too much racing

    Keep in mind this is a visual novel and something different Digimon has done before. It's such a great story for a VN and a fun battle system. It does start a little slow but once it gets in gear, hold on tight.

    I loved my time with Digimon Survive. The game is a Visual novel with a heavy amount of visual novel and light amount of gameplay. Early on the gameplay is very fun but late game and NG+ it becomes a repetitive time with no challenge. Survive shines with it's story. A Dark Twisted take on Digimon, Survive will have you rethinking your choices and fighting to Survive

    The theme is very horror-esque, and it really feels like it pays a little homage to one of my favorite tactical rpg series, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor. If you have ever played an SMT game (but especially the Devil Survivor series), I highly recommend checking this game out. It's slightly more simple than SMT:DS, but it has a charm to it that more than makes up for it.

I particularly like that you can convince Digimon to join you through talking to them on their level. Twists and turns aplenty mean the story surprised you by not going where you think it will.

    The music is in this game is absolutely a treat for the ears, so well produced and orchestrated thst it's one of those OST's I might listen to outside of the game. The Chibi arstyle of the characters during battle is beyond charming, that partnered with the fact that the cut scenes are clearly of incredibly high production, like a high end anime and you have one of, if not my favourite game this year.    … Expand

    This is an amazing game, if you like visual novels, darks stories, or digimon, you will probably like this game. The visual novel aspects are beautifully done and the combat is good. It's roughly 70% dialogue and 30% combat, so be mindful of that before you purchase this game (note: you can do infinite free battles if you want more combat and you can save at almost any time.)

Sin apenas publicidad, sin reseñas ni aportaciones de la prensa, con un lanzamiento simultáneo al de Xenoblade 3 y siendo un juego atrasado mas de dos años... casi parecía que la propia Bandai quisiera ocultar el juego a los usuarios, lo cual podría hacer pensar a cualquiera que el juego iba a ser un enorme desastre. Sin ir mas lejos, personalmente creo que Digimon Survive es un juego que aporta mas cosas positivas que negativas, siendo una visual novel entretenida y, lo mas importante para mi, sorprendente a nivel de madurez para lo que podría esperarse en una aventura de digimon (aunque he de reconocer que es mi primer juego de la franquicia).

    Si pasamos directamente al análisis del juego, Digimon Survive es una visual novel no muy compleja ni elaborada, donde tenemos 3 posibles caminos y uno oculto para el cual no es necesario haber desbloqueado los otros antes. El camino que tomamos está marcado por el tipo de decisiones por las que optamos durante la aventura y que están diferenciadas por colores (decisiones morales, iracundas o armoniosas). En base al número de cada una de ellas que acumulemos llegados a ciertos momentos, se nos presentarán, o no, ciertas decisiones que marcarán las difererentes rutas. Hay que decir que el juego está totalmente traducido al castellano, algo que no sucedía en la franquicia desde hace bastantes entregas.

    La 1a partida está dirigida a impactar y lo consigue con creces, con una banda sonora que no destaca especialmente pero que, en los momentos de tensión, consigue ponerte los pelos de punta. El sistema de combate es un sistema de turnos muy clásico y desarrollado sobre una cuadrícula (similar a un triangle strategy, FF Tactics, etc.). Personalmente considero que el combate cumple de sobra con lo que propone, de forma sencilla pero tremendamente entretenida. Contamos con mas de 100 digimons jugables y muchas ayudas de calidad de vida (omitir textos, velocidad del combate hasta x3, etc.). La duración media de cada historia la estimaría mas o menos en torno a las 15 horas, siendo el final verdadero algo mas largo. Como referencia, he necesitado 40 horas para el platino, aunque de no hacerse ciertos guardados en momentos puntuales podría extenderse varias horas mas.

    En definitiva, Digimon Survive no es una revolución dentro del género de las visual novels pero cumple con creces todos los objetivos que se propone. Con una historia sorprendentemente adulta, un combate simple pero entretenido, muchas ayudas de calidad de vida y una banda sonora que, por momentos, consigue poner los pelos de punta a cualquiera... Digimon Survive es un juego que personalmente considero de notable y que ha sido una muy buena apertura de entrada al resto de juegos de la franquicia.    … Expand

    I enjoy the game for what it is -- a visual novel with tactics-esque battles and a darker, mature story compared to pokemon.
    With more polish on both the storyline and battle system, this could have been a total home run.

    I liked the concept of the game from the very first trailer. While I am not a fan of visual novels, Digimon Survive's tactical battles managed to balance the game between story and gameplay. The characters and their interactions, as well as their take on their situation felt far more genuine than any Digimon media so far, which was a breath of fresh air in my opinion.

    It's a beautifully styled digimon game that dares to try new style of storytelling within the digimon platform. It's first and foremost a visual novel game, with elements of strategy/tactics game mixed in it
    The story is very gripping, it's a classic digimon isekai story in a tad more mature tone than the usual digimon story (and the usual digimon story is already pretty dark in general).

Gameplay is honestly pretty basic, but that doesn't mean it's not satisfying. Players looking for a challenge should turn on hard mode for all battles at the get-go.
    I don't get the hate people are giving this game for being a visual novel. If you don't like visual novels, don't play the game, there are other more action packed digimon games out there. Don't judge this game as an action turn-based JRPG game, judge it for its genre, visual novel/tactics game.    … Expand

    Muchas personas que han puntuado de forma negativa este juego ha sido porque no han leído la descripción o visto un mísero vídeo, puntuando una NOVELA VISUAL, como si de otro tipo de juego se tratase, pues, habiendo jugado más de la mitad del juego puedo decir:

    Como novela visual, el apartado gráfico es FANTASTICO, dibujos preciosos y entornos que para nada dan la sensación de estar en 2D, la música aunque no es de mi agrado acompaña agradablemente las escenas.
    Tiene tintes de Fire Emblem y persona 5 pero RECORDAD sigue siendo una novela visual cosa que estos juegos NO.
    En cuanto a la historia y esto puede ser a causa de la traducción al español, he encontrado alguna laguna o diálogos que no se profundizan cuando la información que dan son para ello, posponiendo conversaciones para después que a mi parecer no tiene sentido pero claro, la trama debe continuar.
    También a la hora de las elecciones, cuesta ver por dónde va a tirar la conversación con las respuestas que dan, también puede ser un error de traducción, un fallo de mi comprensión lectora o de este tipo de juegos o no sé, simplemente muchas veces el diálogo después de la respuesta no me cuadra mucho. Pero poco más, solo por esto le pongo un 9 al juego.
    Si te gustan las novelas visuales, te gustan los juegos del estilo fire emblem y persona, este es tu juego pero te tienen que gustar por igual porque el juego ya se dijo en su momento que iba a ser 70% novela visual y 30% combates, así que LEED bien antes de comprar y disfrutad el juego.

    En resumen:
    Apartado gráfico: 10
    Música: 10
    Combates: 9
    Diálogos: 9
    Historia (llevando más de la mitad del juego): 9
    Traducción: no voy a poner nota a esto pero ha dado la sensación por algunos fallitos que se ha hecho rápido, lo que he comentado de los diálogos podría ser error de esto también.

    What did people expect when they buy this game? It's a visual novel and not a shooter, the story is great with some unexpected turns. The most negative "reviews" are the ones that don't know what they buy, they would cry when they buy a book because it has words in it.

    The combat may be a bit simpler than some turn based strategy games, but this game provides a nice hybrid between the visual novel and turn based rpg genres and does so very well. The visual novel elements are rewarding and the karma and relationship systems have tangible effects on not just the story, but your digimon and also combat. This makes every decision one you think about as you never know exactly what a character may or may not like, and the same with the capturable digimon.
    For those that enjoyed fire emblem 3 houses, consider this a lite version set in a digimon inspired universe, and you'll have a great time.

    The game takes the character archetypes Adventure layed out as well as the narrative mysteries and twists them into interesting new variations, providing a more realistic take on the setting of seven kids getting lost in another world with monsters. The result is something like Lord of the Flies, where the kids constantly argue and some even start to lose their grip on reality. It's refreshingly raw for the Digimon franchise and goes to some unexpectedly dark places in the storytelling.

    Digimon Survive não só inovou ao trazer uma jogabilidade de RPG tático a franquia como também inovou ao trazer um enredo mais sombrio e voltado para um público mais adulto, definitivamente esse jogo não é adequado a crianças, a história é excelente, a arte e as animações também.

    Solid Story, great characters, well made ost. Karma System is fun and can grant unique dialog and special interaction with the story. Digimon Survive took season 1's premise and threw in folklore horror for a new unique recipe that I'm loving as an older fan.

    Only real Negatives I have is the auto feature speeding through unspoken dialog, playing hard mode doesn't feel particularly rewarding and the hard locked deaths in the 1st playthrough.

    If you only want to fight and power level Digimon this isn't the game for you. If you don't like sitting through dialog this isn't for you. If you want a vast open world to explore this isn't for you.

    If you're looking for a good story this is for you. If you wanna see characters at their best and worst this is for you. If you're looking for an easy to follow introduction to Digimon then this is for you.    … Expand

    Although its east to miss the dizzy heights of the Cybersleuth series, it's to be applauded in what has been attempted here and with an easily accessible series, will convert even the most hardened hater of visual novels. With the superb presentation and the relaxed approach, many Digi-destined (which sounds way better than trainers too) will be happy for the series to continue in this style of digi-volution.

    The story in Digimon Survive is an example of why fans of Digimon flock to the series. Fans enjoy the themes of the series presents to fans about the pressures of growing up. While the gameplay in this outing is limited and lacking in complexities when compared to its predecessors. As a visual novel, it more than holds up as a Digimon anime entry and is a great game that any Digimon fan could enjoy.
