Powerful skills with huge ranges can cost upwards to 40-50 CP to cast, so the gimmick offers an interesting risk and reward system. For example, transforming into the Champion stage depletes five CP per turn, and the Ultimate stage depletes 10 CP per turn, and so on. The gimmick here is that Digivolving to a stronger form requires a number of CP each turn. The other primary aspect of Digimon Survive is its turn-based strategy battles. That makess the emotional stakes behind these plot twists something of a mixed bag. But other characters definitely don’t deserve their untimely ends, and I felt sorry to see them go. This was fine for unlikeable ones - I felt a bit elated that I was rid of them forever. It’s exhilarating and allows the social mechanics to feel worthwhile and rewarding.īut don’t get too attached - Digimon Survive has the guts to do away with its main characters. This incentivizes the player to prioritize their favorite characters and raise their affection levels, which allows you to unlock stronger Digimon evolutions for that character. During free time, there might be five characters available to talk to, but there are only four points to spend.
