For me this game was a huge surprise normally i avoid DIGIMON GAMES cause THEY SUCK, my experience with NEXT ORDER was awfull and SURVIVE IS LIKE READING A BOOK. So was quite fun had a a DIGIMON GAME THAT IS ACTUALLY FUN, as i say in past videos the first ten hours for me were: "WHAT AM I EXCACTLY PLAYING, THIS CANT BE A DIGIMON GAME".

GOOD ASPECT OF THE GAME


A GREEK TRAGEDY

The story had good and weak points as any other JRPG, the stories about time travels and paradox are always in the same plot, but here they add the GREEK MYTHOLOGY and THEIR TRAGEDIES, that somehow make the story spicy... you can say this story is a deep tale about ATLAS and HERCULES.

COMBAT AND GRINDING

Is pretty much a rule in JRPG and RPG that at somepoint you will had to farm o grind for something (EXP, GEAR, MATS, ETC), here is about LEVELING DIGIMON and GET A FEW ITEMS TO MAKE THE GAME EASIER. The COMBAT SYSTEM IS THE SAME AS CYBERSLEUTH, but with a few improves to make the grinding a lot easier.
For example we had the autocombat option, 2x to 5x speed, auto recover for the team, the reserves space like the banks in POKEMON, all this sytem work together to make the FARMING PROCESS RELAXING.
The combat system is pretty simple each DIGIMON HAD A NATURE TYPE (VACCINE, DATA, VIRUS) along elemental weakness, the idea is know which DIGIMON IS STRONGER AGAINST CERTAIN TYPE. Thats all.

BOSS FIGHT AND CHALLENGE

Normal fights are easy and boring if you know how to play, but BOSS FIGHT ARE THE CREAM IN THE CAKE... HARDER, UNFORGIVEN AND BRUTAL. Is pretty common you just get a party wipeout if you combat a boss without preparation, this fights are long and force you to think how beat it. The biggest problem here is there is not a management option before the fight, you will had to fight which the team you had at the moment... so you can imagine how you had to givre up that fight, reload and set the correct team. Sometimes i just was farming when i reach the boss fight with baby digimon, i just yell OH SHIT.

ANIMATION AND MUSIC
Something i like from this game is how similar was the animation with the anime, so for plp that love the shows is an hyper hype. The standard music is good and decent, not spectacular or epic like others JRPG, except if you bought the DLC where you get the classics (BRAVEHEART, EVOLUTION, ETC) "A DIRTY TACTIC"

WORLD AND DUNGEONS
If you know JAPANESE DEVS and their practice, is quite obvious the RECYCLE HERE AND REUSE OF THE SAME AREAS...here that not change so you will the same areas over and over... apperently the city representation are quite similar to the true cities in JAPAN, i cant say much since i never visit SHINJUKU.

DIGIMON AND EVOLUTION

The game itself is not a revolution has the same issues we always find in JRPG, but had a gameplay so addictive that you can lose hours and hours, that say a lot about the game. THis is probably the more ambitious digimon game, we had 450 DIGIMONS and ANIMATION VERY CLOSE TO THE TV SHOWS.
Im not a DIGIMON hardcore -fan but i love digimon, so having the chance to get my favorites DIGIMON was the principal hook for me, build that waifu team was my main goal. Or exploring this or that evolution line, an SAYING HOLY SHIT THIS DIGIMON LOOKS OP, I WANNA TRY IT.
That is pretty much the strong point of DIGIMON STORY TIME STRANGER, thats is the reason behind the farming and trying diferent digimons, the DIGIMON MANAGEMENT IS STELLAR.

BAD ASPECTS

As i say before there only a few things i could say are isues in the game so im gonna do a list here:

1. DLC PRACTICE IS TERRIBLE, FORCING YOU TO PAY EXTRA MONEY FOR FANSERVICE LIKE THE OST.. THIS COULD BE AN EXCELLENT COLLECTIBLE (SPECIALLY FOR DIGIMON FANS)
2. . THE DIGIFARM NEED A MORE ELABORATE SYSTEM THAT LET YOU KNOW WHICH EVOLUTION NEED THIS OR THIS TRAIT, LIKE A WHOLE TRAINING PLAN
3. THE AGENT RANK SYSTEM IS BULLSHIT, IS A VERY PAINFUL WAY TO FORCE THE PLAYER TO DO CHORES AND EXTRA CRAP... AS I SAY BEFORE A MATERIAL SYSTEM WILL BE A LOT BETTER, FOR EXAMPLE THE MEGAEVOLUTION ARE UNLOICKED TOO LATE IN THE GAME , PRETTY MUCH BEFORE THE LAST FIGHT EVEN DOING ALL THE SIDEQUEST
4. I DONT LIKE MUCH THE DNA EVOLUTION ARCHETYPE, SPECIALLY WITH THE PERSONALITIES REQUERIMENT, BUT THAT IS MORE ABOUT HOW I FEEL NOT EXACTLY AN OBJECTIVE COMPLAIN
5. WE GOT A GOOD TIME IN THE DIGIWORLD, BUT I WOULD LIKE HAVING MORE AREAS TO EXPLORE.. JUST IMAGINE AN OPEN DIGIWORLD... THAT WILL BE SO COOL
6. SOME PLAYERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE DIGIRIDE OF SOME DIGIMONS, well i had a lot of fun riding my DIGIMONS.. THAT HOURS IN WITCHMON BROOM WERE ENJOYABLE


FOR ME WAS GOOD GAME MAYBE THE BEST GAME OF THE SERIES SO FAR... ON OF THE BIG SURPRISE OF THE YEAR. IF YOU LIKE JRPG OR DIGIMON THIS GAME IS FOR YOU.. I TOTALLY RECOMEND IT .. AN FUCK POKEMON AND THE FPS PERFORMANCE
