DIGIMON UP

I may swap to 4 star if the innapropriate word filter wasn’t so buggy, blocking random everyday words without any blocklist or way to turn it off by personal choice. Makes chatting very annoying which is one of the only points of interaction to be had in the idle game. That said, game’s cute enough, harmless as f2p and ad-free player. Came by for the cute digimon sprites; not expecting anything more than an idle game to peek into on the side and chat with other digimon fans. It’s nothing more nothing less and doesn’t try to be anything else. 3-4 / 5 with annoying bugs that drop it to 2-3, hopefully QoL in later patches can clean the game up. Edit: Chat scrolling was fixed and between that grievance and the community aspect keeping me logging in, I don’t mind hanging in it as much. Solid 3-4 stars for Idle game, but would still like to see the chat filter adjusted to not be so excessive and some other activities added in the future

THIS GAME EMPLOYS EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE MONETIZATION TACTICS!!! If you’re used to the idle battler genre this probably comes as no surprise, but between optional ad boosting, gacha with absolutely abhorrent currency-to-reward turnover rates, and more increasingly overwhelming mechanics than you can shake a stick at, this experience is designed to bleed those with vulnerable mental fortitudes dry!!! Best played in short doses to avoid running into the inevitable wall of ‘you’ve run out of things to do, but if you’re willing to pay….’ That being said. If you’re in the right state of mind to play, it can legitimately be a charming game. The sprites are gorgeous and I have to give props to the art team in general for their work. Although the sheer amount of moving parts can certainly be overwhelming, it’s pretty easy to figure out where you need to go next to upgrade your guys. I’m not a huge fan of the gambling, but that just comes with being an auto battler, so I can’t say I didn’t get what I asked for there… Just… don’t buy the premium currency, okay? It’s not worth it. They want 20 bucks for a single 10 pull from pure currency shop conversions. That’s never worth it. Take things a little at a time, if you’re really wanting to support the game buy the ad removal pack or something. Focus on long term growth rather than short term gratification.

I have been playing the game since launch to give it a solid try. First, this game seems like a lazy cash grab. Every part of this game seems to come from recent popular idle games. The in-app purchase pricing does not align with the quality and size of the game, as it is very high for what this game is. The game also incorporates a lot of subscription based passes instead of permanent ones. Do you want x2 combat speed? Then pay us every month. Most mobile games of the past would not put ads on core game content. This game allows, but essentially requires, you to watch 2 ads a day for each dungeon you do unless you want to progress at half the rate. Currently, It is 10 ads a day just for dungeons alone. Don’t want to watch all those ads daily, plus the countless other ads you can watch? Pay the company close to $10 to remove ads. Thankfully, that pass is a permanent one. Although I believe that is the ONLY permanent pass. While many glitches have been patched, the game still crashes frequently. The app’s session cannot hit 1 hour for me, as it will crash before hitting 1 hour without fail. I would expect at least 2 crashes minimum an hour. I often notice my phone is getting very hot within 10-20 mins of play time. While i have been getting some enjoyment out of the game, it has far too many issues.
