Any Digimon fans here?
The newest game is basically Persona with Digimon, maybe a bit more shallow. I actually think it's pretty decent, for once.

Re: Digimon: Cyber Sleuth
I honestly never played one.
My only encounter with the series is through stuff like this
What aspect of this new game is the shallow one compared to Persona?

Re: Digimon: Cyber Sleuth
The battle system is a bit simplistic as far as turn based, traditional RPGs go. I've played a lot of better ones.
it's hard to manipulate the turn order and there's no system for social links. The skills also feel like they lack a lot of variety. SMT games place more significance on support skills imo. Those are important in this game but don't seem as critical. A lot of the time it feels like fights are won based on having Digimon with winning attributes in the rock-paper-scissors arrangement they concocted. To put it explicitly, if you're fighting a virus digimon and you have a bunch of vaccine digimon, a lot of the time it seems like you'll kick their ass with no problem whatsoever.
This has kind of changed a bit as I've progressed further though. The last boss I fought was brutally hard and was succeeded by another boss immediately afterward which was non-typed and seemingly resistant to everything except flat damage (unaffected by defense).
Maybe I needed to progress further in order to be exposed to some of the depth this game has. Early on it's very rock-paper-scissors and cheesy, but it has required a bit more strategy as I've gotten further.
