Digimon Survivehas been getting some juicy tidbits as of late, such as morecharacter and storydetails. Recently Bandai Namco also dropped some brand new screenshots depicting more of the world as well as the characters currently inhabiting it. The screenshots come fromJapanese site PlayGameand were thankfully shared by Twitter accountDigimon Tweets:
The full gallery of pictures, posted just below, showcase a few interesting things. One of my favorite takeaways are two screenshots (the second and third ones in the middle row) that depict Fangmon, a criminally underused Digimon. What’s even more interesting is that since Fangmon is supposed to represent the Big Bad Wolf in children’s fairytales, it actually fits very well with the theme of the game.
Another interesting detail to note is that we have a couple screens showing characters at night time. I wonder if this means there will be day and night cycles inDigimon Survive.Finally we get a view of the world map as the four human characters traverse it:
Recently Bandai Namco releasedÂa developer diary starring producers Habu Kzaumasa and Tsuzuki Katsuaki dug deep into the past, present, and future ofÂDigimonÂvideo games. And of course this means they touched on Digimon Survive as well.
Kazumasa talks about how the team is trying to build to something that will cater to both the hardcore and casual audiences. To do this, the team mashed up elements of old school tactical RPGs and adventure games. The devs hope this combo of gameplay styles will make the game more accessible for everyone.
Katsuaki talks about the two different parts ofÂDigimon Surviveâs gameplay. The first, which he calls the âdrama part,â is akin to a text adventure. Youâll be given a number of options and your choices will influence the story. The âbattle partâ is a standard tactical RPG; however, choices you make in the âdrama partâ will influence various conditions in these battles. You can also Digivolve yourÂDigimon during battle. This lets you open up opportunities to exploit your opponentâs weaknesses and finish them off in quick order.
Check out some battle and story gameplayÂhere, and some beautiful high quality screenshotsÂhere andÂhere.ÂDigimon SurviveÂwill be coming toÂNintendo Switch, PC,ÂPS4, andÂXbox One sometime in 2020.
