    Awsome game. It’s like I’m playing a Digimon Anime. Really good story, very imersive. Adds a lot to the franchise. But, Be warned. The game is mainly focused on the narative and Visual Novel elements. It’s not a regular RPG.

    I don't understand all the unnecessary hate on this game, IT IS a visual novel first, then an SRPG, If you like visual novels and story driven games, Digimon or monster raising, this game is for you, the game heavily focuses on the story and then the combat, which is also fun and has enough depth to balance it out, If you're a fan of visual novels, digimon, and SRPGS, then this is a gameI don't understand all the unnecessary hate on this game, IT IS a visual novel first, then an SRPG, If you like visual novels and story driven games, Digimon or monster raising, this game is for you, the game heavily focuses on the story and then the combat, which is also fun and has enough depth to balance it out, If you're a fan of visual novels, digimon, and SRPGS, then this is a game you must try and give a chance… Expand

    One of the best VNs on the market. If you're a fan of the genre this game is a must play.

    Sarò onesto, dal punto di vista narrativo questo Digimon fallisce come romanzo visivo, o almeno ha molte decisioni che non mi piacciono. Questo è importante perché è una delle sezioni principali dell'intera esperienza.
    E dal punto di vista del gameplay, il sistema sembra incoerente e ha molto potenziale sprecato.

    Graficamente sembra umile ma la maggior parte delle presentazioni sono immagini statiche, senza troppe ambizioni.    … Expand

    Digimon Survive should have a lot of depth, with partner Digimon evolving and devolving, free-roaming Digimon to recruit, and a vibrant cast of characters who, on the surface, are generally enjoyable. Looking at the game from afar, it truly captures a feeling of desolation and nostalgia. But it comes up just short when it comes to gameplay and story—the two most important things for an SRPG and visual novel hybrid. A “Truthful” path awaits as a New Game+ option, but the gameplay shortcomings, unfortunately, aren’t alleviated with repeat playthroughs. Digimon Survive‘s charms aren’t fleeting by any means, but neither are its disappointments.

    With its mature themes, Digimon Survive provides a refreshing take on the franchise and fits into the series' canon in a really cool way. I hope we get more Digimon games exploring new directions like this! [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 73]

    I love visual novels, and I love strategy games. For a subsection of gamers, Digimon Survive will hit the perfect sweet spot between both of those. It’s got everything you’d expect from a digestible entry with a focus on presentation. However, I couldn’t help but feel that the game is just shy of greatness. Make no mistake, Digimon Survive is good. However, despite its best efforts, I found that the pacing drags and the combat mechanics are unremarkable. If you have enough patience to engage with its story and gameplay, the positives will far outweigh the negatives. It’s flawed, but the heart shines through and it goes down easy thanks to being one of the best-looking anime-style games released in years. Are there better SRPGs to play right now? Sure, but none offer Digimon’s unique brand of SRPG and I think it hits more than it misses.
