I love this game so much. I've beaten it 3-4 times. That being said, this has many flaws. To start, some areas (notably Loop Swamp) are annoying to navigate, and you basically need to be aware to use the touchscreen to look around the screen at all times. Second, there's obnoxiously high encounter rates throughout the game. Good for grinding (and sorta helps to alleviate some points later), but bad for revisits for various quests. Third, making digimon stronger amounts to de-digivolving and only re-digivolving when they were the level they were when you first de-digivolved, otherwise they're gonna be weaker for a bit. Lastly, the various Digivolution requirements, notably "species EXP". There are 8 types of digimon in this game: Holy, Dark, Beast, Dragon, Insect/Plant, Bird, Aquan, and Machine. Most Digivolutions (if all) require revelant species EXP (like MetalGreymon requiring both Dragon and Machine). How do you get this? By grinding. A lot. And if you want something like Alphamon in Dusk, good luck because a lot of Holy digimon only appear in Dawn, while getting a VenomMyotismon in Dawn sucks because of the lack of Dark monsters in there. These wouldn't be too apparent in the base game, but when you're grinding for the ridiculous post-game challenges of the 2 boss rushes the game has to offer, these glaring issues are so damn apparent. I wish I could rate it higher or even recommend it, but it's such a slog of a video game at parts. Still love the game and the Lunamon line with all my heart.
