Make good choices at Digimon camp
The long-awaitedDigimon Survivegot anew trailer today, highlighting both its tactics and its story ahead of its July 29 launch. There are dangers, decisions, and a whole lot of Digivolution.
Digimon Surviveis one-part visual novel mystery adventure, following a character lost in the world ofDigimon. These sections seem to follow the cast of humans as they venture around, trying to figure out what’s happened and how to get back home.
Then, once a battle breaks out, it gets tactical. Digimon battles happen on a grid system with turn-based tactical fights. And yes, the Digimon can evolve into wild, wacky new Digimon.
The mix of mystery and tactics certainly seems interesting. And I can’t help but be drawn in when the trailer shows a chart of Digivolutions with all kinds of crossing arrows and paths.
Digimon are the champions
The tactical story-drivenDigimon Survivehas been in the works for quite a long time, withquite a few delays. Then, earlier this year, theteam finally locked a firm datefor it on July 29.
With such a long road to launch, I’d hopeDigimonfans find what they’re looking for inSurvive. OtherDigimongames likeDigimon Story: Cyber Sleuthhave flown under the radar, but beenpretty solid.
The tactical take and incorporation of adventure game elements inSurvivereally intrigues me, even as someone who isn’t the biggestDigimonfan. (I did really likeOur War Game, though.)
Hopefully the wait’s been worth it.Digimon Survivewill launch on July 29 for PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
