Digimon Survive - Gameplay and Features
Digimon is a visual novel game with survival strategy RPG elements. The game follows a group of teens (Minoru Hyuuga, Aoi Shibuya, Saki Kimishima, Ryo Tominaga, Shuuji Kayama, Kaito Shinonome, Miu Shinonome) that get lost on a school camping trip led by Takuma Momozuka. However, things turn south after they are transported to a strange world of monsters and danger.
Consequently, the group must fight through an animated world, with many difficult decisions and deadly battles, to return home. Throughout the game, players' choices impact the evolution of their monster allies and the endgame; battles in the game are fought in 2D, in a more classic SRPG style. Digimon Survive will comprise various gameplay types, ranging from Free Battle to Drama parts, through which players must unravel the game's storyline.
