Every stat has to be developed one session at a time. Building the Digimon you want takes serious commitment.
With the Digimon anime becoming a sensation and Nintendo’s own creature features’ popularity peaking, Digimon World seemed poised to be a massive success. When it was released, however, it wasn’t quite what anyone expected. Even so, this tough and obtuse adventure remains unique.
“I was 10 and all my digimon turned to poop,” shares @KeepDrawingChar. That this bizarre statement isn’t uncommon sums up the game perfectly. Riffing on the Tamagotchilike Digimon LCD devices more than the cartoon, your player character is sucked into the digital world where they have to set out into dangerous environments while raising a partner correctly, in order to reassemble a city. The game frequently felt punishing, with your pal dying if it lost too many battles (after which it would have to be reborn). And if you allowed it to poop on the ground too often it would turn into a turd-shaped sukemon.
