Digimon’s death and rebirth offers higher base stats, eventually to the point where new evolution paths become available. Both Digimon partners in your party have a set lifespan after which they will die and be reset to a baby form. However, in that game players only had to take care of one Digimon instead of two, which was not only easier to manage but I never had to worry about one Digimon falling behind holding me back from progressing like it does now. These systems are all based around the pet simulator-like mechanics of the original Digimon World. However, making those steps requires your two Digimon partners to be powerful enough to overcome the dangers of the Digital World, and while I found the act of raising Digimon to be fun on its own, the complex mechanics behind training them and keeping them alive often held me up for hours at a time before I could even consider moving toward a story mission or recruiting more people to Flotia. While recruiting Digimon to the city mostly boils down to fetch quests or mini-boss battles, seeing this small group of Digimon grow into a booming city with new features becoming available as they return often left me feeling like I was accomplishing something important even in the most mundane moments. Watching Flotia flourish is one of the most satisfying parts of Digimon World Next Order. Ultimately Flotia will basically keep your supplies stocked, with daily supply drops coming from various members of the city-all to help you go out and find more missing Digimon to help bring the city to its former glory. As you find and recruit more civilians to join the city, it prospers with new stores and services, eventually becoming a thriving civilization. Progressing through the game’s story requires you to find the scattered citizens of a hub city called Flotia. These kids all meet citizens of the Digital World, are partnered with their own Digimon, and look to find a way home and restore the Digital World to its former glory in the process.įor much of my early time playing Digimon World Next Order I was incredibly overwhelmed by all of its moving parts. As the destruction reaches its peak, a group of teenagers from the real world find themselves trapped within the Digital World. Powerful Digimon called Machinedramon are terrorizing the Digital World, wreaking havoc upon its citizens and downsizing its biggest settlements into shells of their former selves. It’s a punishing experience one that I found myself equal parts frustrated and enamoured with as it constantly halted my progress.ĭigimon World Next Order takes place several years after the events of the original Digimon World. The game feels more like a pet simulator than it does a traditional RPG experience like last year’s excellent Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, which may, justifiably so, be a barrier to entry for all but the most dedicated of players. ![]() Harkening back to 1999’s original Digimon World, Digimon World Next Order’s obtuse mechanics made its early hours a stressful blur of time, resource, and party management. Digimon World Next Order offers no qualms about throwing the player into the deep end from the very beginning. ![]()
