As someone that owns a digi-vice, this game mimics the mechanisms of the handheld toy. You are essentially paying for a more immersive version of the handheld toy. I'll compare it to Tamogatchi since it was more popular. You raise your Digi-pet by feeding them, playing with them, training them, battling with them. Digi-pets have a evolution path that is dictated by how well, or not you take care of them. Overall, the care system could be burdensome on someone who has never owned or experienced a handheld digi-pet device. Though the fans of such things will find joy in the gameplay... This isn't a digimon game you play for the story and wouldn't recommended as a entry level game into the world of Digimon. Cyber Slueth is better in those regards.
I liked this game. Raising two Digimon at once is a great idea. The early game is a bit hard since everything can wall you, but once you get a hold of the mechanics and start evolving your Digimon, the game becomes more fair—well, at least until the post-game. The graphics and art style are good, and the gameplay is addictive. I just didn't like the idea of Digimon dying and then having to raise another Digimon without knowing what it will evolve into. The Cyber Sleuth games did this better by allowing us to choose the evolution. In this game, evolution is based on the stats you've raised through training. For example, I spent a good amount of time getting my favorite Digimon, Dukemon, but it died and I had to raise something else. :( You will spend a lot of time training, grinding, farming for items, and checking evolution guides to progress. It's fun most of the time, but once you beat the game, you'll realize that you're in for a long stay in grind hell. If you're a fan of Digimon World 1 on the PS1, you might like this game. I enjoyed this one even without having played World 1, though.
Overall, I would recommend Next Order, especially if you enjoyed Digimon World back in 1999. If you didn't play the original game Next Order might feel a bit directionless, but stick with it and you'll get all the digi-action you want. It's far more accessible than the previous game, and runs very well on Steam Deck. However, for full-price, it lacks polish. I would recommend it at about half-price. 🟢 It's Digimon World ++. Players of the original game will recognise a lot of music, sound fx, and characters from the original game. The nostalgia is tasteful and not over done, and it blends well with Next Order. There is a good mix of Digimon from different generations, all recognizable. The new Tamer levelling mechanic layers on to the previous mechanics really well and adds a fresh angle. Additionally, the ability to see what stats drive digivolution really helps to demystify the more annoying trial & error gameplay from the first game. These are the exact additions I would of loved back in 1999. 🟢 You always make progress. There is always some small thing to upgrade, skill to earn, or quest to complete. Even if you have bred a pair of absolute window-licker Digimon, you can still make some progress; it could be discovering the required stats for a better Digimon, or klepto-collecting resources to upgrade buildings, or just farming basic items for the next generation. You've always got something to get on with. 🟢 Built for the Steam Deck. The game runs a solid framerate and the UI suits the Steam Deck's screen resolution perfectly. Which is no surprise considering Next Order was developed for a handheld. 🟠 Hands off battle system. Just like the 1999 game, the Digimon fight, more or less, without your input. You can interrupt them with orders to attack, or run, etc. and they will follow your order to the best of their ability. But some times they make questionable tactical moves that had me roll my eyes. If you love the turn based, crunchy mechanics of Pokémon, you'll probably find Next Order's battle system irritating at first. The key is to use the Guard command a lot. Your Digimon will actually interrupt their current thing to guard right now , which is essential to surviving high level fights and big, sudden attacks. 🟠 The narrative is unremarkable and very similar to Digimon World 1999. Additional characters have been added, and a previous one makes a reappearance, but you are still rebuilding digi-city and defeating evil digi-virus man. It doesn't get in the way, and the writing is adequate (for an anime game.) But I couldn't help but skip most of the dialogue and the anime voice acting. Some people love it, but it just irritates me. 🟠 The PS Vita holds the level design back. There is not a lot of variety in the shape of the terrain. Many of the areas are just planes with some greebles; green grass plane with trees, yellow sand plane with rocks* 🟢 Though, having said that, digital elements make for interesting land marks (such as a giant server tower sticking out of the desert, or circuit board transistors flocking in a field.) 🔴 The quality on the character animation is quite cheap. All your favourite Digimon feel very wooden and lack character, which is a big downside to a game all about collectable characters. Additionally, most (if not all) the special attacks are underwhelming. This is likely a technical limitation of the PS Vita. But, as the game is priced at £39.99, this lack of polish can feel like a big let down. 🔴 Camera focus bugs. When using a toilet outside digi-city or fishing. The camera blurs the foreground to focus on the midground. But the blur does not reset until you enter a new area. This means you are stuck with a blurry character and Digimon until you zone. This is quite irritating and happens consistently, despite being a common and very solvable issue** ___ *This is probably a technical limitation with Unity Engine's stock Nav Mesh from around 2011, running on PS Vita hardware. It required flat terrain for better path finding calculation. **This is a common problem with inexperienced (or rushed) developers using Unity's camera system Cinemachine. Usually, this is down to the State-driven Cinemachine camera missing transitions.
