Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition é aquele jogo que começa “só pra testar” e quando você vê já tá investigando crimes digitais às 3 da manhã com um Digimon esquisito do seu lado. A história é séria demais pra um jogo onde você passa horas evoluindo uma criatura fofa pra um demônio apocalíptico. O sistema de evolução é tão profundo que você precisa de um mapa mental, um café e fé. Combate em turno clássico, trilha que gruda na cabeça e um vício silencioso que chega sem avisar. Não é Pokémon, é Digimon — ou seja, mais confuso, mais complexo e estranhamente mais viciante. Resumo: se você gosta de RPG, Digimon e perder a noção do tempo, esse jogo é um perigo real.

タイムストレンジャーでデジモンってこんなにつまんなかったっけってなったけど 7年前のこれのほうが工夫でグラ良く見えるし音も良いしおもろい

This game is LOOOONG. Too long. I enjoyed it, but it is long. I do love the build up, though. It goes from cutesy in the first half to fricked up in the later hours and it takes its time getting there. The grinding adds much of the time and I wish there wasn't so much of it. There is, however, an autobattle system and that helps with the fights I don't care about. I also wish the digimon you battle with had actual personalities because they are supposed to be able to talk. But only the ones in the farm message the player and none of them seem to have very unique personalities.

It might sound hyperbolic but Digimon Cyber Sleuth changed my perspective on monster taming games. And I don't say that as someone who went from either polar end of the spectrum to the other. Rather I have loved monster taming games from the start of my gaming journey. In kindergarten I was making my way through the Johto region before I could read the words in the game (leading to some less than great choices in the early game, and tens of gameplay hours spent stuck before gym 2). So where Cyber Sleuth changed monster taming for me more came down to how it approached the story, the evolution and stats mechanics, and smaller quality of life features. While Cyber Sleuth became available to steam users in 2019, it originally launched for PlayStation players on the ps vita and ps4 in 2015, a time where game freak was still developing Sun and Moon (a game with notably pandering difficulty, a continuing lack of voice acting, and an astoundingly barren post-game). Cyber Sleuth set itself apart with comparably matured graphics, a storyline that took risks for the genre at the time, and compelling voice acting during many important dialogue sequences (I played with the Japanese cast so I cannot account for the english dub). While in many JRPGs grinding can become monotonous, I often found myself compelled to continue via side quests and the ambition to reach beloved digivolutions. This brings me to another highlight of this game, or rather this franchise, because another key element that made my 90+ hours so enjoyable were the creature designs themselves. Digimon as a franchise has always had a rougher, more Y2K marvel esque philosophy to its character and creature design. While this has shifted over the years, the general philosophy of what makes a digimon a digimon has continued to set their designs apart for decades. When I did have to pull myself up by my boot straps and grind a bit I found the main gameplay mechanic enjoyable enough to offset the repetition. It also didn't hurt that using PlatinumNumemon plus the tactician USB felt like discovering the game's dirty little exp secret. After 90+ hours in the digital world I found that your enjoyment of this game is going to come down to if you enjoy anime style stories similar to persona, JRPG grinding and quests, and (if you are already a fan of monster taming) how willing you are to play a game that strays from the Pokémon formula. If you are looking for a more modern experience, check out Digimon Time Stranger first, but if you can accept some ps vita level graphics and controls this might be the place to start a Digimon journey.

A Must-Play for Digimon Fans and RPG Enthusiasts – 5/5 Stars Having spent 67 hours immersed in Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition, I can confidently say this is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding RPG experiences I've had in recent years. From the very first moments, the game draws you into a unique world where digital monsters and humans coexist in a blend of cyberpunk intrigue and emotional storytelling. The plot keeps you on your toes, full of twists and turns that challenge not only your strategic thinking but also your emotional investment. As a Cyber Sleuth, you're tasked with uncovering the mysteries of the digital world, and each chapter builds up a deeper sense of connection to the characters and Digimon you meet along the way. The battle system is incredibly satisfying. While turn-based, it’s anything but predictable. The depth of the mechanics allows for plenty of customization, and there’s something truly rewarding about training your Digimon, evolving them into their most powerful forms, and seeing them grow throughout the journey. The strategic nature of the battles keeps you engaged and always thinking several steps ahead, especially in the tougher encounters. Digimon fans will feel at home with the diverse roster of Digimon that can be recruited and trained. With hundreds of creatures to discover and raise, the variety of moves, evolutions, and combinations ensures no two teams feel exactly the same. For newcomers to the franchise, the game serves as an excellent entry point, introducing the world of Digimon in a digestible and accessible way. The visuals, while not the most groundbreaking, have a unique charm that suits the game’s style perfectly. The environments feel vibrant and alive, with each location having its own identity, whether you're traversing the bustling streets of Shibuya or exploring the mysterious depths of the Digital World. The soundtrack complements the adventure, with a blend of upbeat and atmospheric tracks that match the tone of each scene wonderfully. Another standout feature is the Complete Edition's bonus content. It feels like a love letter to longtime fans, offering additional chapters, Digimon, and side missions that expand the game’s already substantial content. The pacing throughout the 67-hour journey felt just right—there was always something new to look forward to, whether it was a tough battle, a new Digimon to add to my collection, or a major plot twist. In short, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition is an incredible RPG that delivers on multiple fronts. Whether you’re a Digimon veteran or new to the series, this game is a must-play for anyone who enjoys rich storytelling, tactical gameplay, and the thrill of raising and battling your own monsters. I loved every minute of it, and I can easily see myself returning for more in the future. Pros: Engaging storyline with great twists Deep and rewarding battle system Huge roster of Digimon to collect and train Gorgeous environments and great soundtrack Tons of bonus content and side missions in the Complete Edition Cons: Some repetitive dungeon design Some may find the pacing a bit slow early on If you’re a fan of RPGs or Digimon, this is a game that shouldn’t be missed. 10/10!

muy buenos juegos, las historias son aceptables, batallas clásicas por turnos y Digimon para todos los gustos. Para poner el juego en español ver en la sección de guías del juego.

THIS IS BETTER THAN MOST POKEMON GAMES (as a person who played fire red, platinum, emerald, black and white 1 and 2, sword, ZA (newest game) I recommend this alot if you love digimon and persona games, TONS of dialogue tho, but it works up by the PEAK digimon in it. Alphamon Ouryuken mode? Imperialdramon Paladin mode? Jesmon? Chaosmon?? IT JUST GETS BETTER!!!
