That was a great review dude!! I never thought of myself as a digimon fan, tho I did watch the first 3 seasons back when they came out, also not an anime person AND I don't really like turn based videogames. But lately I've been feeling the uncontrollable urge to consume digimon related stuff, came across this video and it was super informative so thank you so much! I don't think I'll love it but it's actually like %70 off on steam right now so what the hell ° U °
Thanks for the kind words! It's been a while since I played this but over time my memories of it have seemed better and better. I hope you really enjoy it!
I just beat it like a week ago. I'm so OP, and then started the other side game with my mega levels etc. It has way too much text to read. I love the OG Digimon World 1. It was truly an adventure
Hey, I wanna say thanks for the review. I've been watching some videos to help gauge my option if to buy or not. This have been helpful in answering my questions. Thanks.
@@Hynotama Yes, I did bought the game, specifically the Hackers Memories version for the Switch. The game is a real grind feast, but thankfully the exploit for the Switch makes it easier to deal with. All in all, I really enjoyed the game.
@@GottaFistDemAll get 3 PlatinumNumemon and equip each of them with 3 Tactician USB. It gives ridiculously high amounts of EXP (because all those double EXP effects are stacking). You can get a mega digimon from level 1 to level 33 with a single battle, in an area where champion level digimon spawn. It far outstrips anything the farm exploit can give you. Also if you have it on Switch, you have both games.
Digimon has a sort of power ceiling. There is a max evolutionary stage of growth. By japan terminology There are 2 baby stages, Child, Adult, Perfect, and Ultimate. For reference these correspond to Baby 1(Botamon), Baby 2(Koromon), Child(Agumon), Adult(Greymon), Perfect, (Metal Greymon), Ultimate (WarGreymon). Their are "SuperUltimates" Which are basically ultimate's combined from two or more individual ultimate digimon or comprises of an Ultimate powered up by unnatural means. Devimon was an Adult stage but at that point in Digimon Adventure (The anime) Some perfects were already introduced and fought against (Andromon, Monzaemon). Devimon was a threat because he amped himself unnaturally without evolving. He just grew giant but it made him in the range of power comparable to perfect stage. Infermon(the red and white spider) from the our war game movie(The one with omegamon (NOT OMNIMON bs name-change by the way Alphamon and the royal knights don't approve) was a perfect stage and became an actual threat when he evolved into diablomon. War greymon and Metal Garurumon only lost before jogressing (Joint progressing) into Omegamon was because Diablomon duplicated into millions of copies. And Omegamon killed all of those in seconds so yeah digimon get pretty op. But Royal nights and other high level factions comprising of Ultimate's tend to be the power ceiling in any digimon setting.
Amazing review! Also Digimon was a huge part of my childhood too! There is actually a Digimon game for PSP about the first season, woth the original chosen kids, It is a complete reteling of the original one with a format very similar to the one of Cyber Sleuth, you should check it!
You can watch some seasons of Digimon on Crunchyroll, at least in my country! If you don't mind doing it less legally, you could try Kissanime. I'm a long-time Digimon fan, and Cyber Sleuth actually reignited my interest in the fandom after I played it. I loved the story and didn;t mind the large amounts of text at all, I'm a big visual novel fan, after all. My favourite thing about the gameplay was digivolving the heck out of everything. Another bonus was that my favourite Digimon got to shine in the story, even if he was a villain yet again. Really advise you to play Hacker's Memory, it's a great addition to the story and has moved me to tears!
Good review brotha. Its on sale right now for 25$ i here it has 2 games. Im gonna get and also immortal fennix rising. Thanks for all the detail and you know your digimon anime and cant believe youve played megaman battle network. That was my favorite megaman it even had cartoons on fox too
Right on! I haven't played the second game on it yet (Hacker's Memory I believe it's called) but plan to sometime in 2021. Let me know how IFR is, that one is on my radar. Early on I did a casual review for Megaman Battle Network 4. I loved the cartoon and I remember I wanted a P.E.T. so bad but I never got one.
Thanks! That's partly my intent when I make these casual reviews, the other part being I have a full time job with no time to write scripts if I want to keep gaming!
If you wanna watch the anime, there's a few places... I know Crunchyroll has some of the earlier anime seasons, and also the newer series, like the new 2020 anime. (Also, if you haven't watched the 3rd season, i would highly reccomend it.)
I wish Bandai would bring an update and or made the game where it shows the foe Digimon level and name to make things so much easier. Is it necessary not to be over level or too strong for the wild Digimon? Which game do you recommend playing first?
It's been a while now since I have played this game, but from what I remember I never felt underleveled but I did feel a certain amount of overpowered at times. I have yet to play Hacker's memory, I only played through Cybersleuth which from what I remember that's the one most people recommend starting with.
Great review. On Digimon being fluid, after playing the game myself, i think i have to disagree a bit, cause there are certain digimon that I couldn’t get because i converted the wrong baby, for example, Wanyamon or Koromon dont have any lines connecting to Stingmon, then again im not sure, they might. Also its a bit hard to talk about digimon or any monster catching/raising games without even mentioning Pokemon. I really think that Digimon World 1 on ps1 was the only “true” digimon game, its very much like a virtual pet, it can get super annoying and tedious, but its an experience lol
@@Casual_Reviews Digimon World? Well they remade the game twice, the recent one came out about 3 or 4 years ago, its called Digimon World: Next Order. The one before that is called Digimon Redigitized, though this one was not localized, but fans made an english patch for it. Digimon World and Digimon Story is very different from each other
Lol Debimon is basically the devil I had all the mini figures of everyone from the movie 💚🔥🔥 I agree that it is funny that our nostalgia Digimon are just so easily obtained lol 😆
One thing to mention about digimon when it comes to level is the only real time they matter is for digivolutions. In battle, it's more about stats, attacks, and strategy rather than if you are over or under leveled. This is why I love digimon. You need to think and use more strategy about how you "raise" your digimon, what you digivolve it into, and what attacks and stats you put into them for a battle rather than just level them up higher than your opponent. Now, to be fair, there are some game breaking/over powered attacks you can get but those come later in the game and are still hard to get.
I like this game mostly as a grind to get the digimon I like and the story is not too bad. However I have come across a bug that infuriates me. I got a random quest to beat a hacker in level 1 kawloon and he is nowhere to be found. I looked all over... nothing. Worst yet I couldn't quite the mission and move on to another one. So I had to log out with out saving just to keep playing.
Did you end up playing Hacker's Memory? I don't know if the games you play like monster hunter or whatever finish in one week like Pokemon but some of the best games I ever played take a month from this to Persona to even final fantasy games and so on
The eden maps seem too lazy to me However the game has fun animations Well made models, fun to grind levels & more Just wishing the post game wasn’t this hard
"The female characters are just there to be sexualized" Nokia drives the plot forward just as much as the main character Mirei manages the digilab in a very similar way to Igor does with the velvet room in Persona Yuuko has direct ties to one of the main villains and antagonistic forces the game I get that the designs are... Not for everyone, but to say that the female characters are just there to be sexualized is pretty reductive.
I bought this game on sale for switch, forced myself to play it for 13h trying to like it and i just couldn't, i hate this game, so boring and lame and bland everything is bland, and im a digimon fan, i wanted to like it so badly and i just hate it xD i dont think ill even keep playing it
@@Casual_Reviews yea and its nothing interesting, ever, just a boredom fest i honestly dont get how this game is so high rated, to me its just an extremely low effort boring cash grab, i cant stand playing it anymore xD
you cant do a review my man. all i hear is digimon digivolve dedigivolve. you need to stay at the game and its mechanics its self. and who cares either u watched the entire series or not. either you liked them or not. all you had was 1 job and that job is talking about the game its self. if you wanna take my advice to you, you need to use different words. because honestly you are so boring to watch. thats a good thing so u can improve ur speech. gl my man.
Wow, it almost sounds like you were looking for a NON-casual review. If only the reviewer had put "casual review" right in the title so that you could read that. : /
It's far more comparable to SMT and Persona than Pokemon. SMT did the whole creature collector subgenre before any of them.
I've heard the comparison to Persona before. Never played the series before but I've heard very good things.
@@Casual_Reviews Persona 5 is a must play! (But Royal is the better version ofcourse)
This is such an underrated review. Thank you for this!! ☺️🙏
Woah thank you very much! It's just a casual review (an unscripted rambling) so I'm surprised people like it!

@@Casual_Reviews It is only available on PSP, It is called Digimon Adventure, an amazing game even better for true fans!

Kind of nice to hear some casual discussion of a game instead of a stiff, scripted review. Feels like a more honest overall reaction.
Thanks! That's partly my intent when I make these casual reviews, the other part being I have a full time job with no time to write scripts if I want to keep gaming!
Hack ability: force encounter is the best feature to grind for me, since i came from digimon world 3 where grinding XP is so hard
The movie was my all time fav as a kid I used to watch the vhs like everyday almost lol
I started with Palmon and over the course of the game got her all the way to Rosemon Burst Mode
I'm surprised you were able to keep track of it that whole time!
If you wanna watch the anime, there's a few places... I know Crunchyroll has some of the earlier anime seasons, and also the newer series, like the new 2020 anime. (Also, if you haven't watched the 3rd season, i would highly reccomend it.)
How does the subscription for crunchyroll work? is it like a monthly fee or is it free with commercials?
Digimon full 1st series is on Hulu I believe.
I lost track of my terreirmon very fast as i didnt realise i could name them till chapter 18
I’m thinking of buying it for 14.99 at GameStop
That's not a bad price imo
Nice dude. I just subbed to you and I am currently playing streaming Digimon Cyber Sleuth games.
Oh nice! On Twitch? I've been thinking about trying out Hacker's Memory.
@@Casual_Reviews really I want to see that. What is your twitch Channel.
@@ronalddragonofamerica I appreciate it, I haven't thought about streaming before though.
@@Casual_Reviews I would at least watch it.

crunchyroll has the original digimon adventure series and has the remake
Guys need help dont know if I should get it on the switch or ps4?
If you want it portable, get it on switch. Otherwise ps4 is the way to go.
The eden maps seem too lazy to me
However the game has fun animations
Well made models, fun to grind levels & more
Just wishing the post game wasn’t this hard
I like it but that Eden thing is stupid, I wish we could use our Digimon to fight in the real world of digimon
"The female characters are just there to be sexualized"
