Ah, Digimon. I remember you well. You appeared somewhere between Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! on the children’s fad timeline, and while I found the series’ premise interesting as a youngster, it never stuck the way the other two did. Pokemon become a global phenomenon and permanent gaming mainstay, but what of Digimon in 2014? Well, that’s what…
-
Namco Bandai made a new Digimon game
-
It's a Western exclusive, which is cool
-
There's a solid selection of Digimon to choose from
-
Story mode is front-and-center when it shouldn't be
-
All gameplay outside of standard fighting is tremendously half-baked
-
Fighting itself becomes dull after just a few hours
-
Button mashing is usually the best strategy
-
The game's existence is a mystery when better Digimon titles could have been localized
