[quote=@SleepingSilence] Don't get my hopes up. ;-; How would you rate the other games in comparison? (If you've played them/from what you've played of Survive.) >searching for youtuber's opinions as we speak Because I've been wanting to get it since the first trailer. (Since it promised a darker story/concept than the prior games.) But I was curious if that element was still present. [i]Or if it was exaggerated for marketing purposes.[/i] [/quote] Keep in mind I'm still going through it, am only up to chapter 5, but: Yeah, I'd say the darker story is very much present. There's plenty of suffering to go around, and it almost gets a bit TOO melodramatic in points. I think it strikes a somewhat okay balance between when it needs to lighten up and when it needs to get serious, though. Keep in mind it's still Digimon, so you're not gonna see people implied to be gored or anything, but it's real good. The only other digimon games I can say I've played seriously are the Cyber Sleuth ones, and this seems just as high quality as those (albeit with more text this time around and less gameplay.) Speaking of gameplay: It feels like it's a bit limited in places. Movement feels very constrained, stuff dies really fast and you don't get a whole lot of moves to use on your individual digimon. Its also been an absolute pain to use a varied team because of maps only allowing 6 digimon at most, and since the protagonist mons are what you'll have access to the most, there's no real reason to ever deploy anything besides them. You'd want to keep two other digimon levelled at most for those times the protagonist goes at it solo, because maps like that usually only have two slots beside Agumon for deployment in the first place. Like, the game's not perfect, but despite the flaws I'm encountering I'm still having a blast and am fully hooked into the story. All I wish is that Shuuji was less of a little bitch and I'd be good.
