    The game is a masterpiece. Is a visual novel and a tactical RPG, like Final Fantasy Tactics series!!. Of course is a lot o text... Because is a Visual Novel!!! And you known what? Is perfect! The battle mode is worderful! Classic tactital rpg for turns, when you need a real strategy. So in my opinion is one of the best games of Digimon games!!

    I can't believe how many people just didn't read what kind of game this was going to be, it was defined an interactive anime with SRPG battles and it's precisely that, the art style is great especially in the battles and the story is great too from the routes I have completed (Moral and True routes), the only real problem would be that there aren't many digimons avaible but that's simplyI can't believe how many people just didn't read what kind of game this was going to be, it was defined an interactive anime with SRPG battles and it's precisely that, the art style is great especially in the battles and the story is great too from the routes I have completed (Moral and True routes), the only real problem would be that there aren't many digimons avaible but that's simply because making animated 2D sprites requires a lot of time… Expand

    Well writen story and characters. I normally don't like visual novels or RPGs with that much text, but I love Digimon Survive. Ist's story is just as good as an Anime. The SRPG elements are fun and nice.

    Honestly a mix of fire emblem with a move dynamic visual novel side.
    The game play is very fun and there is free battle to grind our levels and the conversations with digimon are reminiscent of persona/shin magami tensei. Over all its a fun story and decent game play. Anyone who is review bombing this really needs to understand they are the reason we won't get many games localized.

    Jamás tuve interés por las novelas visuales pero me apetecía mucho un juego de digimon y me abrí a la experiencia a ver que encontraba.

La primera mitad me gustó mucho, de verdad mucho, me parecía todo de 10. Pero la segunda mitad de la historia pierde interés, los combates se vuelven tramites lentos e incómodos, la captura resulta un infierno, y las evoluciones te desmotivan al ver que todos convergen a unas pocas lineas evolutivas que se repiten idénticas entre distintos digimon: Imagina esforzarte por sacar 3 campeones completamente distintos y ver que los 3 evolucionan solo a etemon y monzaemon, los cuales puedes en ese punto capturar directamente.

    (Acerca de lo de la historia, tengo que mencionar en su defensa que por lo que he leído hay tres posibles rutas en la historia cuando comienza la segunda mitad y yo seguí la ruta con la trama más calmada y aburrida.)

    En resumen. Como novela visual me parece muy bueno. Como juego de estrategia es básico, agradable a la vista pero mediocre en mecánicas. Como juego del género monster taming es malo, muy por debajo de la media. El tiempo de trabajo puesto en desarrollar cada uno de los tres apartados está muy desbalanceado y el resultado no es bueno.

    Me gusta mucho el enfoque narrativo atrevido y arriesgado que han hecho de la saga. Hay un trabajo a reconocer, un claro esfuerzo en algunas cosas, y por eso le doy un 5, pero me temo que la conclusión es que no es un buen juego de digimon. Una historia novedosa que funciona, si, pero no un buen juego. Ha habido cosas que me han gustado, y de verdad la primera mitad la disfruté bastante, pero a no ser que te gusten mucho las novelas visuales no lo recomiendo ni a mitad de precio.    … Expand

    The game is a visual novel with RPG touches. While it is true that it is a linear game, some decisions matter. Review subject to change. It seems that some people did not realize that it is a visual novel and that is why the score is so low.

    Fantastic new addition to the list of digimon games I’ve played. The story kept me entertained, I had fun guessing what was going on in the early game. The battle mechanics reminded me of some the games that got me into gaming like final fantasy tactics.

    Muy buen juego para los fans de Digimon o visual novels. La peña que se queja, es porque no saben leer. ES UNA VISUAL NOVEL CON COMBATES RPG. Historia muy interesante con toques mucho más adultos que cualquier juego de Digimon, creo que la única pega que puedo darle es que los combates, en el final, se me hicieron bastante fáciles y tampoco que que hubiese farmeado demasiado

    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. Sem dúvida alguma é um jogo que vale muito a pena de ser jogado.

    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

    An innovative mix of visual novel and strategy RPG, Digimon Survive tells the most mature and compelling story of any Digimon game so far. An interesting cast of characters, humans and Digimon alike, pull you through an incredible story full of twists and turns. The gameplay is varied, with a mix of exploring the world, engaging in dialogue, and training a team of Digimon for battle.

    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]
