    Excellent gameplay mechanics, though some may say that it's too simple, I would disagree, as it can go quite deep. As for strategy, there is a perfect mix of luck and strategy that needs to be present in a card game. If I had one complaint, it would be the story, or basic lack thereof.

    I play this game at least once every year since I first played it in 2004. No other games have better replayability than this one. You don't need to have any prior Digimon-related knowledge to enjoy this game. One of the best games on the PS1 for me. The critic reviews are laughable, no wonder they don't even exist today.

    The ratings from the critics do not do justice to the game itself. The game is great with tons of options and hours of gameplay.

    This is a classic, one of the best games for psx i don't know why the critics are so inaccurate. The main characteristic it's the similarity with the series the way you use your cards to play has the essence of Digimon

Otra falla magnamon no se puede obtener hasta después de pelear contra la segunda final,entonces para que te o dan? si después de ahi ya no hay mas nada que hacer? bueno solo quiero agregar que la música es excelente y sos fan de digimon o te gustan los juego de cartas tipo heartstone este juego puede gustarte, a pesar de todo lo malo que tiene. A esta altura creo bandai odia digimon… Expand

    I've played DDCB since my parents rented it for me at Blockbuster back in 2002.

    This is an excellent game that I think some people overlook. The rock, paper, scissors like battle system is something that has a good amount of complexity when you take abilities & in-hand card effects into consideration. I come back to this game pretty much once every year to re-enjoy the gameplay. I    I've played DDCB since my parents rented it for me at Blockbuster back in 2002.

    Nobody can tell me that Battle Cafe Phase - 1 isn't a straight up feel good song to just put on to raise your mood!    … Expand

    Surely one of the best card games of all time. I hope they could create a remake of this for PC.

    A surprisingly simple game lies beneath these convulted rules and great graphics, which is a shame because this is the first Digimon game to do justice to the cartoon.

    While DCB accurately duplicates the flow and gameplay of the tabletop game, its simplicity will turn off any but the youngest of players.

    The cold, hard truth is that unless digi-fans…existed, most would not care two digi-bits about DDCB after playing two digi-seconds. [Oct 2001, p.156]
