If you are a big OG fan of Digimon this is an easy buy. Since first generation of Digimon I've wanted something like this and glad to have been finally able to buy it after all these years. There is even a MMO Digimon game much older but it offers what I was also looking for in a free to play MMO Digimon game (still up and running on steam).

Runs great even on my super garbage very very low end PC 60FPS decadent.

Are you a die hard digimon fan? If not, there's other games that'll scratch the JRPG/Monster Raising itch out there, that do just about everything Cyber Sleuth sets out to do and far better. While the game isn't horrendous (outside of two categories I'll mention later), its ultimately bland and fails to excel at anything it sets out to do. This may be a result of being developed for a handheld first and foremost, but just about everything it does sets it as awkward or clumsy in execution.

Story wise: Cyber Sleuth and especially Hacker's Memory continually jump over the line between wanting to be taken seriously and have adult tone and questions, to juvenile humor (most of it revolving around poop). Because it can never nail its tone or decide just what exactly what it wants to be, the stories themselves suffer. Likewise the dialogue also suffers from a fairly shoddy Japanese to English Translation. As a result of the poor translation, inconsistent tone and lack of any real characterization of the leads, its hard to care too much about what happens.

Gameplay: Playing Cyber Sleuth, if you've had any experience with Pokemon or other rpgs, will feel like an old blanket you had as a child wrapping around you. Its nostalgic, but that's a major problem. It reminds you of other, better games with deep systems and more options. Cyber Sleuth sadly has VERY little in the way of mechanical depth. It all comes down to Rock, Paper, Scissors at the start of the game, but by the end of the game, there's really only about 20 viable options out of the 336 digimon presented to you in game. (There are technically 341, but I'm not counting the NX-mons).

Sound Design: It's hit or miss. Some of the tracks are bangers that will make you go looking for the OST. Others have you reaching for the audio to turn it off completely. On another note, headphone players, DO NOT WEAR YOUR HEADPHONES WHEN YOU BOOT THE GAME. It does not save your sound settings for the start screen and it will make them bleed. Likewise, even with all audio settings at 10%, I still found the game uncomfortably loud.

Characters: Hard to care about most of them, Very one note or tropey, which isn't always a bad thing, but when its your entire cast....yeah. Also, for Gods sake, can we not put the 15 year in a Nightie for the entire game? (and for that matter, can there be more than one female member of the cast that doesn't look like a prostitute?)

Other Issues: There's no escaping this one. Cyber Sleuth is PADDED and there is next to ZERO Environmental design going on in this game. Nearly every map looks the same, made even more annoying by how often you're going to be back tracking through them. And even more, you're going to grind, and constantly grind if you want to get anywhere in the game. EXP gain is PAINFULLY BAD, unless you happen to know of one digimon and one item that gives you way more Exp. The item is locked behind RNG, that is only "Acceptable" after about the mid-point of the game. The digimon?

A literally pile of Platinum Crap. Enjoy the next 50-80 hours of not getting to use the digimon you like, because you need that EXP boost and instead being forced to watch the wiggly pile throw his own poop.

So not set up for pc play I'm not sure WHY they are selling it here?!
It is a grift and theft. Mostly, it just doesn't work on PC, so them selling it here literally is just theft. WHY ALLOW THIS,
STEAM?!?! I'm getting my money back. So you aren't getting money for it...
I'm starting to get tired of Steam just letting any clown sell obvious fakes.
What happened to Quality control, Gabe?!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I'm about to be done with your SLOP ♥♥♥♥, you are turning out to be a worthless launcher. I have about a hundred games on Epic, they may be ♥♥♥♥, but at least they pay me in free games to put up with their failures.
This CONSOLE game that is STILL a CONSOLE game even though its being sold on PC, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thieves. But Bye Felicia. Give me my money back, you chumpy little liars. I'll just '7 seas' this pile of ♥♥♥♥, they have better customer service and probably a better platform to use...

The game is great but it desperately needs an option to skip cutscenes. I've been playing for hours and have only had 2 fights.

If there was an option to skip all cutscenes, skip all instances of dialogue whatsoever, this game would be flawless. Know that my recommendation for this came comes only on the heels of the creature battling and collecting aspect of this game. I have loved Digimon since I was 7 and I am begrudgingly wiiling to sit through this horrendous poorly written, downright lame weeaboo trash that if you want to enjoy the digimon aspect, you will have to suffer through it. and I do mean SUFFER. The dialogue is sooo bad and these segments come in abundance, consecutively, and are egregiously long. what felt like the first 20 minutes of the game I spent mindlessly spamming the A button before getting to the first actual digimon fight. And its been relentless ever since. You should only play this game if you either really love Digimon, enjoy creature battlers/collectors, or you have abhorishly bad taste and extremely low standards for what is acceptable entertainment.

digimon smt, im not even jokin

Great digimon game. If you liked Sun/Moon/World DS you will like this game. Same style and gameplay loop with upgraded graphics and I believe more digimon than those games.
