Last month was the Digimon Con 2022during which the tactical role-playing game of bandai namco Digimon Survive talked about him again. As a reminder, the project was unveiled in the summer of 2018 and has been postponed ever since, with its release currently scheduled for 2022. During the event, a brand new trailer simply introducing all the main characters already revealed and their digital companions had been broadcast, but it is only this week that the publisher shares it on the Web independently of the live which can be reviewed at the end of the article.
The theme of violin and piano play still has its little effect, and a quick passage of gameplay is included, but nothing really new unfortunately or even a release date. However, the producer Kazumasa Habu had then lent himself to the game questions and answersgiving some rather interesting details, starting with development is currently being led by HYDE (Disney Tsum Tsum Festival) while it was originally announced to be made under the aegis of witchcraft (Idol Death Game, All Kamen Rider: Rider Revolution), thus partly explaining the delay. We can expect a darker story than usualsince it is a market of adult fans that is targeted this time, which will be divided into chapters with a ratio between texts and tactical confrontations of 7:3. Yes Triangle Strategy didn’t bother you on that side, so it should go just as well.
Concretely, this entirely solo adventure will alternate between conversations with the characters (dubbed only for the main elements), fights and investigation of objects in the sets during phases of exploration and free expeditions, the time being limited in the latter, linked to the selection of destinations on the map. In free expeditions, clashes may take place, the opportunity to train and become friends with various creatures, and our intimacy with our companions will evolve as we talk to them. The Digivolution of our Digimon it will depend on the affinity that we have with and the progress in the scenario, a system of karma directing the transformations. It is precisely the exploration that will advance this part of the game. We will also be able to alternate between the normal view and that of the camera of our phone in-gameable to see things invisible to the naked eye.
Regarding tactical combat, we will be able to choose up to 10 units at the start of a battlethe turns of action being determined by the speed of the Digimon. The distance traveled and the ability to climb on squares of different heights will also vary depending on the monster used, while the attacks will be linked to a gauge of MS. In short, classic. This bar will fill up a little with each turn and will be consumed continuously during a Digivolution. An order of Conversation will also be used to recruit a new partner.
In total, 12 chapters will be available with three branches from the eighth according to the following terms: Morality, Harmony and Rage. A fourth option, secret, will be unlocked once one of the endings has been obtained, with a mode New Game+ maintaining the level of our Digimonthe Digivolutions unlocked, the items and equipment obtained, as well as the various monsters that have joined us. High level dungeons will also become available.
In terms of service life, it will take approximately 40 hours to reach an end and between 80 and 100 hours to complete everything. We will also be able to train no less than 113 Digimon related to the vision of the world that the team wanted to put in place, with a priority of creatures with designs evoking wildlife. At last, four difficulty options will be selectable, ranging from Very easy at Difficult.
Digimon Survive will be released this year on PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. Waiting for, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition is sold €35.99 at Gamesplanet in its version for computers.
