  1. I really enjoy this game. It is very addictive and it hits that "Chao Garden" itch which is massively underserved.

    It also makes me wonder a lot about the realities of this genre's fantasy, in a way a lot of content just doesn't anymore. That is something I rate pretty highly in its importance to me.

    This game definitely isn't for everyone, but when you see things like the popularity of Animal Crossing or the demand for a new Chao Garden – it's hard not to think that it's potential audience is a lot bigger than its actual audience.

  2. Hey ed do you think you gonna make a video on Volzerk I think the game already came out in English.. haven't check it thought too lazy to boot up my laptop and still having fun with digimon on the switch

  3. I think it would be great for you to do a full review. There needs to be more reviews from people who actually understand what the game is trying to do. Nintendolife, for example, gave this game a 4/10 and from reading their review, it was primarily because they were grading it from the typical RPG experience. And I've seen people get entirely turned off of even trying it and cited the negative reviews as the reason

  4. I tried this game last year and wanted to like it so bad but the CONSTANT micromanaging for the feeding/taking them to the toilet/giving them medicine completely killed it for me

  5. If anything, I'd say they don't throw enough info on your face :v

    They just explain you the battle system, training and the main objective of the game and then go like "if wanna know anything else, just ask people around". They do the same approuch for many other Digimon games.

  6. This is what I would tell people if they are interesting in playing Digimon World Next Order
    Buy the PS4 version or get it on sale for Steam
    The game itself is good if you like raising monsters but it cannot justify the full price for a 6 year old game.
    It's a shame that the Digimon franschise gets mismanaged like this.

  7. I played the OG Digimon World back in the day and the Re:digitize Decode fan translation for english, this game is very similar to them. But for some reason it felt rather dull. Don't get me wrong, I actually love the OG gameplay and also the Decode one, so this one is almost the same, supposed to be an upgrade… yet I like it less. The story felt rather short and the game structure doesn't make sense; you unlock some of the nicest city functionalities in a game state where you have nothing really to use them on anymore as you're done with quests, recruiting, all the big fights. Let alone how long it'd take to upgrade any of them to the max.

    Ah… so many cons, almost no pros. Soundtracks are nice and I like they added some new digimon I've never seen before. Personally for me it's a 5/10 and very cleanly, I just can't decide whether I wanna like it or not, completely on the fence between good and bad. There's a ton of things to see but really the game is 70% training in the gym, 30% everything else. This is my realistic point of view because I don't wanna be too harsh on it; I love that we started getting Digimon games for the PC and I want more of them, I do recommend this game, just don't try to compare it to other RPGs, it has it's own unique structure.

  8. Even with how similar the concepts for gameplay are, the execution of monster rancher and this are super different. Outside of the idea of acting like a coach for your monsters, MR monster don't poop, lifespans are handled completely differently, the way monsters work in terms of getting them and combat are almost nothing alike, feeding mechanics are nothing alike with monster rancher having so much variety and different needs regarding food, and exploration is more like a board game or have randomized dungeons. Pretty much the only things that are the same are training being done via stations at a home base and both games lean heavily into simulation mechanics but execute them differently. It's a shame to see some people aren't giving this game a proper shot and are judging it as bad because it's just not exactly a genre they expected.

  9. As a note for those stuck in where to go, this game is very based on how many digimon you bring back to town. If it doesn't have a direct objective for you to do, you haven't recruited enough digimon. Which Jijimon sends you a message saying to go out and recruit more digimon.

    Talk to Botamon in Jijimon's house. He will give you hints on who is able to be recruited at the current time and what area of the map they are located in. Most people get stuck because they can't figure out where to go next. It's all about general progression.

    Ignore the alternate colored digimon you can talk to. You can not recruit them. They can give some useful items early on, but they are more of a waste of time for the most part. After your second life, i don't think any of them give any items that really make any difference to you.

    This is not a game for everyone 100%. All the negative reviews on it are almost identical to what DW1 suffered from 20 years ago.(besides the full price tag which is reasonable).

    Some hints for people just starting up, use your digimons first life to go around collecting material upgrades and items to sell for bits. rush the easy recruits for the basic starting stuff in the city.

    Rushing Wormon right away gets you a fishing rod, which is an excellent source of money. Rushing Numemon gets you a free porta potty every day. Rushing Birdramon and Biyomon gets you the fast travel and free ports every 5 uses. rushing Tentomon gets you the shop right away.

    Don't be a gym training nut! All this does is kill off your partners faster to be honest. Make use of all of your time collecting materials and items for bits. Stock up healing materials. use your first life doing only that. Fishing is probably the best use of your time after you rush out those early essential recruits i stated above.

    You need tamer levels more than you need stats that first life, and collecting materials is the fastest way to level by far. Map out your tamer skills before you start. I recommend Extended Life, Battle Bits/Stats reward, Defend Order, and Ressurection stats for your first upgrades. After that, a Bag slot upgrade or two, but it's ultimately up to you. The extended life ones are the only ones that really make a big difference early on.

    Once you pass to your second generation, dump all your money into recovery disks(HP and MP disks) and bandages. Train your stats at the gym to around 200 or so. Then go out and start fighting digimon in the starting areas. You will gain stats far faster in terms of in game time than by using the gym. You can get hundreds of stats in a matter of an hour or two of in game time compared to 150 in a single stat using the gym. Don't waste time on digimon that take forever to kill. Just kill what dies easily and give you good stats(15+ each fight) and fight them 1 on 1 so you can get the most stats out of them.

    This will be very expensive on your money, which is why i said to spend that first life collecting stuff and making money. Get to around 1,500-2,000 stats give or take fighting digimon before you start pushing the story. once you are around that point, your digimon will eventually go mega stage, and you can rush through the first couple of acts in the game. Once you finish the first act, you have access to pretty much everything you need going forward. Use this generation of digimon to push as far forward as you can, and upgrade your city as often as you can. Recommend upgrading your field, restaurant and shops early.

    Once you unlock the fishing hole, start upgrading that asap. Getting fishing hole to at least level 3 is one of the best money farms you can do until you can fight the end game monsters. Level 1 and 2 are meh for it, you can get the same stuff 5 feet outside of Floatia as you will find there easily. but level 3 has a bunch of expensive fish in it.

    The second you have access to the Wastelands(i think that's end of act 2?), rush to Sorcerermon and Recruit him and Garurumon. On Friday's i believe it is, he will teleport you to Absolute Zero. Go around and talk to all the digimon outside of the palace. They'll allow you to unlock the best Restaurant Chef(Seraphimon). you will want to use him for every meal possible. your stats will start growing like crazy by doing so. If you don't recruit Sorcerermon, you've still got a large chunk of the game left to get through before you can get to Absolute Zero normally. You can fast travel with birdramon after that first teleport.

    From here on out the game is fairly strait forward. There are a lot of fetch quests in this point of the game, but just save before talking to any ultimate or mega digimon in the area. A lot of them do want to fight, and they will kick your ass hard unless you are also Mega level, with ExE available to use. Spend time upgrading your city, farming bits, and recruiting digimon. You'll probably go through your second generations life around this point because a lot of the fetch quests take time to get through.

    but you now have access to areas where you can farm your stats to 4-5k in the rookie stage if you have enough healing items. And your next generation of digimon will start with around 1,000 stats in each stat at this point if you got the resurrection stat perks. which will go up more and more each time you get higher stats.

    In short, for fans of DW1, this game is amazing. It has all the best parts of DW1, but with all the ease of access features we wish we had. My only gripe is the difficulty curve. Once you get your town moving, the game becomes quite trivial. I'll be starting a new game on Hard Mode before long myself to make it more challenging on myself.

  10. The game is an acquired taste, just finished the main story line and post game story but not sure if I want to continue… Grinding each digimon back up in stats just sounds egh. The ones I have are at 8k in stats and at the ultimate states so there is still room to grow but not like the gameplay is that interesting to go through the pain of grinding digimon up to see them evolve.

  11. I personal really enjoy the game. I never was a big PS4-Player and while I tried it out on the PS4, I never warmed up with it. (Dunno if it was the controller or the environment the console was in, I just prefer Nintendo-Consols)

    Can't really talk much about the story, since I'm still not very far yet (I'm in Chapter 3 now, I think with my mons in Gen 4)

    While the Grind can be tedious, I think it's pretty relaxing actually and seeing your partners grow and learn is kinda wholesome, since you grow and learn with them 🙂 I hope we get to see more Digimon-Games soon!

  12. im a new player for this game, but familiar with the original digimon world. i have to say the game is comparatively more difficult than the first one. I was careless and got myself defeated by the 3rd machinedramon (infected gotsumon i think). my partners were taomon silver and angewomon. i hope i will get better and ready myself to challenge that boss once more

    Reply
  13. Somehow i feel like compare to monster rancher digimon have more fast space training/routine than monster rancher. Also i don't think level was necessary in this type of game because you have evolution stage like rookie, champion etc.
    And yeah i think next order kind a gimmick game compare to digimon world 1 or re:digitize.If they want to make the same type of game like that again hope it isn't to much gimmick like more than 200 digimon "but half of them was re-skin".

  14. I treat the game like a super advanced and expanded upon form of a Tamagachi, which is what it can be summed up as. That's why I enjoy it. Anyone that wasn't into raising little creatures with the risk of effing it up would probably not like it.

    It has an upgrade system similarly found in rougue-lites, so I feel that those fans could find joy in the sense of progression after every rebirth. I very much enjoy the auto-battle aspect of the game with the occasional trainer input. My only criticism is the effects don't look anywhere near as good as other games within the series, such as Cyber Sleuth. Overall it's one of the more fun games to listen to podcast or watch Netflix as you mindlessly go about the world and train your mons or advance storylines.

  15. The Digimon when in their Mega state are quite annoying, covering the whole screen. Can't even see the surroundings. Having some problems with using a controller. It's still an okay game. Overall, I give it 7/5

  16. Its great…. but it makes me miss World 3… like incredibly… I need digimon world 3 style gameplay, evolutions etc, with the updated digimon list….

  17. This game is definitely for people who love monster raising games. The quest system is old and outdated but that is to be expected since this is an old game and i actually like the recruitment process of this game.
