    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 sometimetes 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

    Good game as it is. It was clearly mentioned by many youtubers and bandai, that its a VISUAL NOVEL with tactical rpg ELEMENTS.
    The ratio is 70/30.
    People complaining theres to much text in a visual novel is just hilarious. Your choice impact the chapter 8-12, so wait before u say "my choices do nothing". So please dont mind the low rating by people that dont know anything and go back    Good game as it is.

    This is a really great game. It's one of the best visual novels out there. I highly recommend this if you like Digimon and Visual Novels.

    It was a very nice experience.
    The game is more of a visual novel than a tactics game so if that's not your thing then you may want to skip this one, that being said I really enjoyed the story and the characters. I really hope they make more games like this one.

    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.

    Don't know why people are angry because the game IS what the developers promised to be, it has a great story line, good 2D animations , music and story plot that's heavily inspired by Digimon Adventure 1999 , which is a very positive thing that no other Digimon game managed to capture.

The emotional bonds you develop through out the game might be understandable to some extent, of course it needs to be cleared for the answers that could raise affinity of certain characters , also speaking with characters shouldn't be the only way to raise affinity with them
    Overall , this is a 10/10 for a VN and for a Digimon story-based game, and for being the first of its kind for Digimon    … Expand

Digimon Survive has more animation, better character writing and more engaging lines than in almost any other contemporary visual novel. On top of that a good 40% to 50% of the game is solid SRPG goodness with over 113 possible Digimon to get, which is exceptional variety in this genre. While I have only finished one route so far, I can attest to how great the experience is.… Expand

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    While Digimon Survive is an underwhelming Rookie in the SRPG genre, if the developers continue to evolve the series, a future title could become a Champion. [Issue#19, p.88]
