I love the Digimon franchise, but sometimes it sucks to be a fan. This game is one of those times, as it is a monotonous, unfair, and downright broken mess of a game that doesn't even capture the essence of the Digimon franchise.

This is a top-down beat-em-up game, where you and up to 3 other friends can pick one of the four playable Digimon and explore different worlds with them, fighting other creatures and bosses while looting for weapons, accessories, and other items.

If you haven't noticed yet, this is a basic Diablo clone with a Digimon skin, but in my opinion, it is worse than that. Levelling up your characters doesn't give you much other than increased stats, and sometimes a generic skill to use. None of the characters have their signature attacks but instead use generic spells and weapons.

You also cannot Digivolve in this game, though you can unlock some of these forms by beating missions or stages in a specific time limit or on a specific difficulty. I doubt you would do that though, since the game is completely unfair with its enemy placements and boss fights.

At the very least, the game looks passable. It isn't unique or memorable but it isn't ugly. Unlike the music, which is grating and annoying at times. This honestly should never have been a Digimon game and certainly not a Digimon World game. It has none of the charm, or even understanding, of the franchise at all. Skip out on this one completely.
