Just finished Cyber Sleuth at 79 hours (a lot of that time was spent getting certain Digimon).
Overall, it was a great Digimon game. I’d recommend it to any Digimon fan who’s willing to power through another language. I really hope it gets a Western release, so I can enjoy it fully. Here’s some pros and cons:

Overall, it was a great Digimon game. I’d recommend it to any Digimon fan who’s willing to power through another language. I really hope it gets a Western release, so I can enjoy it fully. Here’s some pros and cons:
Pros
- The Digimon models are fantastic. This is the best they’ve ever looked in game form and screenshots don’t do some of them justice.
- The characters and story are great. While I have a few problems with it, I find it to be my favorite Digimon Story… story. I will say that if you heavily prefer the Adventure/Frontier feel (i.e. going on a journey in the Digital World) you might like the other Story games’ plots more, but I still feel this one is pretty good.
- The music is awesome. There was a point where I got tired of certain tunes, but that should be expected after 79 hours. There are some tracks in the game I wish came with the CD, but Youtube’s good enough.
- There are unique side quest stories that were fun to play through.
- There are some cool looking dungeons. The ones toward the late game especially.
- I loved Agumon and Gabumon.
Cons
- The difficulty is way too easy. This becomes really apparent when you fight the (Chapter 19 side quest spoiler)
Royal Knight copies
- Going through the same type of dungeon gets pretty tiring (I hate Coulomb). Even some of the unique ones get a little boring after a few side quests.
- After finishing the game, I feel the MC should have had more of a voice. He/She is as far away from a blank-slate a blank-slate can get. Emotional scenes would have been better with the lines voiced, imo.
- Those fetch side quests need to die in a fire.
- Late game spoilers:
You see a lot less of EDEN towards the end, to the point I forgot it was there. I don’t know if it’s a con exactly, but I would have liked to see more areas
- Chapter 20 spoilers:
Like EDEN, I wanted to see more of the Digital World
Other notes
- Moar Digimon pls. I know this is an obvious one, but there are some Digimon (like Wendimon, Cherubimon (Bad), and other Armor evolutions) I wish had made the cut. Hackmon needs his Adult and Perfect forms!
- Playing as a girl makes the story strangely more “girl powery”. I can only imagine the harem that awaits male MC, lol.
- After getting Imperialdramon PM, I will probably stop playing, so if you have a screenshot request, get it in now.
- Speaking of, is anyone interested in a spoiler full story screenshot album? I wouldn’t mind putting one up, but it’s not worth the effort if no one wants to see it.
