They missed the chance to use Start.bat if that's the case.

It's sounding like my jam but I'm undecided if to get in on PC for performamce or on Switch for portability.

You know, as well as it would work for most digimon games the .bat pun probably wouldn't work for survive. So far nobody has said the prefix 'digi-' outside of the title of the game (even the monsters changing form is just called 'evolution' and not 'digivolution') and from what little bit of history we've gotten it seems like the currently-unnamed-world containing currently-unnamed-monsters has been in contact with the human world for at least hundreds of years and has nothing to do with computers.

I've been playing on switch and performance has been fine. A couple framedrops during dialogue segments when they zoom in on something with an Ominous Smoke particle effect, but the battles themselves run fine.

So my Switch copy of Survive arrived today, but I won't be able to play it yet due to IRL obligations. I just wanted to to ask, for anybody who's been playing- I've heard that the game's translation work is awful. Is it as bad as I've heard? Of course I'd still be willing to trudge through that for the gameplay, but I just want to go in with clear expectations.

I'm badly hoping he's the Magikarp of this game and becomes the best character once he evolves.

As far as I've gotten (start of Part 2) the game's translation is a big improvement over the previous few. Every character has their own clear voice and the mood of the game is shown well. I've found a few typos but nothing too big, definitely no random Bakemon so far.

It's pretty awkward and stilted. The characters still manage to be likable in spite of it though.

They should have pre ordered five years ago if they wanted a copy now.

But seriously, very little hype support for this game, really feels like Klonoa.

Tentomon and Patamon can evolve into their lines so maybe try to recruit them if you can. I’ve only encountered Patamon in a battle during Free Time where I scanned a shadow in the shrine area, if that helps

Also: Digimon Survive takes place in 2020

Ghost Game 36: the show returns to its roots: doing one-off episodes about weird monsters causing distressing situations while pushing a central theme. They also had a bigger revamp to the opening than I thought they would, and judging by it we can now confirm that Ruri is really excited about having a murder bunny.

Shouts out to Gigasmon for finally getting that episode he was denied in Adventure 20. I think they legitimately used him really well as a monster of the week. And I know the punchline is that he saw a movie trailer and thought it was real, but did anyone else get the sense that the show was quietly suggesting he might have actually been on the right track? Or is that just me?

Also, what's the over/under on spooky girl becoming Espimon's partner when he finally shows up? It feels like she could be fun as a full character, and being plausibly psychic would give her a role to fill in the team dynamic.


Next episode! The show went down the list of horror movie set ups and landed on zombie apocalypse so that should be fun and/or unpleasant.

I think that's the first time they've pulled that particular localization out since maybe Frontier's dub so that's kind of odd

Makes me wonder if that's a card game thing, so they can leave off the text that says "this is a Leomon" for future English printings.

Survive is charming and fun and perfectly playable (on Switch) but probably could've used an extra few months in the oven.

For someone who hasn't played a Digimon game since the PS1 Digimon Rumble Arena days...is it worth getting Survive or just letting it sit for a bit to see if they do any patches to it to fix anything?

Apparently talking to Fangmon and then choosing item has a high chance of getting you one. Ditto for Monzaemon and ultimate digivolution items.

By the way if you’re finding the recruitment mini game frustrating(because sometimes the answers make no sense) here’s a Reddit thread with the correct answers for most of them:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DigimonSurvive/comments/wasexo/digimon_recruitment_guide/

If you fail it you can also just go to menu and retry the battle. This also works with conversation options if you reload the auto save
