Is Digimon World: Next Order Worth Playing? | Digimon World: Next Order Review

[@Avitus.ExE1]

I played this game when it first came out and had a really hard time with it, getting stuck on the 1st boss of the game for hours due to the same misunderstanding of how to raise my digimon. I came back to the game this year with my knowledge of how the game actually works and had a blast with it, taking down super bosses and all.

[@MykonosFan]

Glad to hear others had a similar experience with coming back to it!!

[@captaindrachma2041]

I found that the key is to "stagger" your Digimon. I always wanted one of them to be at a higher stage than the other so I could go grind and not have to worry about losing both of them. It made it so I could basically power level the lower staged Digimon.

[@dridda9117]

yeh but once you hit endgame thats not viable anymore, which is why only 5% of players completed the last dungeon lol casuals

Hey! This game is coming to Switch and PC in late February 2023! I've gotten tons of comments saying they wish the game was available on those systems, so I'm happy it's happening. I don't plan to get either of those versions, but if I do, I'll update this comment to say how those versions are / if they add or change anything worth mentioning.

Next Order is my therapy. When the world is chaos or when I'm trying and failing at something I can always go back to it. Almost everything you do is progress in this game. You are always getting stronger whether through generational stat boosts, moves acquired, facilities or bits. It can be grindy sometimes but it can always be broken down into small manageable pieces.

[@jess2109]

@@superiorgo2368 This sounds exactly like what I like to do with my games, but even watching and reading countless reviews I wasn't sure if that was possible with this game.

[@AkaDuchess]

Just saw this game on sale for $8 on PSN store. Can't wait to relive my childhood in this game. Digimon world 1 was such a difficult and obtuse game for a 6 year old but it taught me so much- including how to read! It was so much fun playing such an obscure game that no one else had. I still have my original PS1 disc and strategy guide. Such good memories.

Definitely. You almost have to actively try for Numemon by comparison.

[@pikapat321]

Honestly I adore the atmosphere of this game, it’s a game I always play to unwind and relax

[@stefandiacenco]

Yeah, next order is quite confusing at first, with very important things like monster grinding and blocking not exactly being some of the first things to come to a new player's mind. Hell, I even went through a save where I was completely blocked and stuck in a loop of boosting my Digimon's stats in the training center and seeing them die of old age countless times while I was stuck through the story segments. But under all of that is a pretty neat game with a lot of possiblities and replayability to it. Gotta note how I love having to constantly assess the battlefield to perfectly time your abilities, but it all feels a bit pointless when you can consider how easily the game can be broken by just ExE spamming or other scummy tactics. 8.7/10 would recommend

[@MykonosFan]

For sure! Like it does a lot of "bad" game design things, but once you get the hang of what it actually wants it gets a lot more fun.

[@o0DnDing0o]

I myself prefer Cyber Sleuth, but if you don't mind the slightly confusing, slightly open play of Next Order, (plus some of the grinding) it's not a bad pick.

[@MykonosFan]

I feel that. I’d probably still hand it to Cyber Sleuth all in all, but I’m glad there’s this weird, different flavor of game too.

[@TheTetsuHai]

The gym is mainly used to perfect stats for an evolution, pass time quickly while training and so you can control what digimon you digivolve into prior to the dojo being opened. otherwise always grind on high stat gain digimon or eat at the restaurant.

[@eric3d2b]

Honestly, the trick to using the gym properly, is that the only stats you should ever use it for are str and def (maybe mp). Every other stat is best to grind when you take 0 damage and one shot enemies. Once you hit mega, stat gains are terrible anyways, and having them out of sync means you can power level mons by having the older one knock enemies out instantly. Also, younger Digimon get huge boosts through training depending on the evolution difference between them. Since egg strength is 10%(+1% per each egg level) of the absolute max of any generation, every new high of 100 points is up to 14 extra power to the every other generation. If you get 5k of a stat, and max egg levels, you start off with 700, basically meaning an in training will absolutely win against a lot of mons. Once one mon gets a head start, then you can power level the other one.

[@cesco1990]

That soothing soundtrack was in the first Digimon World game as well. It was one of the first copied games I had for my Playstation 1, loved that game and later Digimon World 2 as well. I have dabbled in those 2 games for most of my first youth and the feel of nostalgia is taking over and making me want to try out this game..

[@Medascott]

Gosh, this is making me want to plug in my PS4 and continue playing this game. Didn't appreciate it the first go around, but it really grew on me...still need to try and beat it though

[@MykonosFan]

Yeah, it's a very long game even if it does rub you the right way so I can totally understand that! If it hadn't struck me at this exact right time mentally, I probably would have fell into the same boat.

[@joshuafoster8726]

You take accountability for your past video and own that you misunderstood and that's really nice to see. Digimon on ps1 was my favourite game and I was so excited for world order. I looked at guides as I played and tips and truly enjoyed it much more than the original I'm glad you feel somewhat the same happiness I feel with the game. Well done and great review!

[@MizuShiori]

I ended up getting this game for switch and i really enjoyed it. The main story quest doesn't take much time at all, but there's plenty to do now that the dimensional dungeon available. Plus it's been a lot of fun raising a bunch of digimon and seeing what they grow into during each life cycle.

[@harryc657]

I love this game. I say a mechanic that would really help is giving the player a way to digivole and get high parameters faster when the player progress through the story. Once their digimon passes away, the player will have to grind to get to their parameters again to progress, which is what turns away a lot of players. There are tricks you can do mid game that will give your digimon crazy stats and lots of money, but it feels more like an oversight than a design (and I say these tricks make the game more enjoyable). The gym needs to be MUCH more efficient, especially in late game where you go against tough bosses.

[@billy-waynejeffcoat4828]

I myself own digimon world 1,3,4 and next order. I hope they finally localize redigitize. Played it a few times since its been translated but would love to own it. I wish they would give more love to the world series. Tho I am looking forward to digimon survive.

[@MykonosFan]

I need to give the fan translation of Redigitize a try sometime. I really do value seeing all the new buildings come into the city, which I know that game kinda doesn't do. Is it still pretty fun in spite of that?

[@jpedro1800]

@@MykonosFan I love it, and the game is the origin story of characters like Miriei and Rina, it have lot's of content, a great extra story and a somewhat fun last extra dungeon if you want more, and even a new game plus, where you play with Rina. The only problem is that training is only with the gym, and can be a little trick if you want to do the post game extra dungeon, and training can be a little boring, so I recommend doing it while watching something or so. Also, I'm pretty sure that some of the super training that you open later in the game is impossible to do, I would ignore it and just go with automatic training, way quicker, you can skip the cutscene, and is possible to beat the entire game with it.

I agree, this game can be the best Digimon game you've played if you know a few things ahead of time (like areas to grind). It's a very charming game, especially to fans of the original style of digimon which was training them to do well and letting them go ham in battle with little to no input from you as the trainer. Great review.

[@Greyshadow511]

THANK YOU! for bringing up training/battling at certain locations. I felt like I hit a point in the game where I couldn't progress anymore and gave up on it a few years back. But now I'm excited to dive back in and see where I can get

[@ShoXwavee]

I also made the mistake of only training at the gym. The days passed and my digimons grew old with not much progress. Another mistake was using the instant evolution items that don't really help that much. Now I understand the game more. Even against way stronger enemies there's a chance to win if you get that digi fusion scene near death lol. The only thing I really don't like about this game is that it's really difficult to keep both digimons at the same age

[@MykonosFan]

Dude I'm glad it's not just me who did it, it makes me feel a bit better lol. I stockpiled the instant evolution items to the point that I honestly forgot about them...oops. It would be cooler to be able to keep them more in sync though, yeah. Mine got out of wack pretty much instantly so I spent the entire game with one almost always being a higher "level" than the other.

[@ShoXwavee]

@@MykonosFan yeah I noticed in the video the different digimon levels xD

[@marcosdheleno]

@@MykonosFan an easy solution would be a "bill's pc" of sort maybe some farm like place that lets you keep one of your digimon without counting time(or at a very reduced time pass), so you could either level a new one, or go solo. it would even be good for challenge solo runs as well.

[@thewerebear1]

Actually, de syncing your ages is great for grinding provided it's only like a 2-3 day difference. You make the mega speed grind for your rookie and it'll get strong so quickly that it can do the same for your other digimon when it reincarnates

[@ShoXwavee]

@@thewerebear1 Interesting. I'll have to try that strategy

[@UltimateDarkloid]

I got this game and finished it a couple of years ago, and had constantly mixed feelings about it. The change in battle system from direct commands to "order points" was the worst part of the game for me. I didn't know about training through battle at first either, and beat the final boss by relying only on the gym. I did try grinding through battles towards the end but I could never find the right balance between gaining stats and not having my digimon take too much damage, so I just stuck to the gym. The story I felt was lackluster too - most of the chapters were fine, it was just the ending that I felt was a bit anticlimatic, when they could've perhaps tied things together more neatly than they did. Despite how frustrating it was, the sense of wonder I got from exploring the game, meeting digimon and rebuilding the city was enough to keep me going. I had no idea the PS4 visuals were so much better than the Vita ones, and they're probably a huge part of why I love this game so much. It's just another experience that's missing from most digimon games. I just enjoyed the journey too much to give up on it. Contrast this with Cyber Sleuth, which took me two years of playing on and off just to finally finish. I think I will definitely revisit Next Order, perhaps put it on easy mode this time and just enjoy it!

Damn bro, I just picked up the game on sale & am having the exact same problem/s.

I still have good memories of it(though some fights felt really cheap forcing you to abuse that dna-ultimate attack) and would love to come back to it. But my main issue is that I built the town and had everything in place, but took me hours, days, weeks, MONTHS of my time to reach that. This game is absolutely fun to play but takes too goddamn long to reach something and when you finally do, your digimon dies, starting all over again.

This was the exact same feeling I had with the game as well, right down to taking a multi-year break and coming back to it later once I had a better understanding of how to grind stats effectively. The game does not explain it's mechanics effectively, but once you understand it a little more there is a pretty good game here.

[@LivinSober]

First time I picked up this game, I put it right back down and took it back to Game Stop the next week 💀 but Once I learned the specific spots to train at certain levels, and at certain evolution stages, this game became so fun and simple and I couldn’t believe I ever gave up on it. I’ve played it all the way through twice now and intend on playing through it again real soon. That being said, however, I could easily pick it apart for how unnecessarily complex the gameplay is. The love for this game is limited by the fact that casual gamers cannot simply pick it up and start playing without some sort of guide. I don’t think games should be designed that way.

[@danishdude2191]

I kinda love this game, but I also hate that my digimon dies over time. Its just so much unnecessary grinding when you have 2 digimons and their lifetimes does not match up. At the start of my game I run with 2 Ultimate/Mega levels for a good amount of time and have fun, around the end game i maybe have 1-3 ingame days before one of my digimons die and I have to train it up again. And when that one is up around Ultimate level, then my other digimon dies of old age and I can start over with that one as well, spending maybe 12-14 days on training and 1-7 days on game progress, over and over again. If they made some changes to the training hall in the city, like a heavy money/bit cost for using the training hall and reduce the attributes gained after each battle by 75-90% and then only let my digimons die when they lose a fight (maybe give each of them 3 lives, like in the first game, so the surprice EXE on a lost fight, still can pop-up from time to time). That would be more worth of my time. I like the story, but never really cared much about it after I beat the last Machinedramon. To much running back and forth, too much waiting, way too much talking and very little action. But the game has many other really nice things to offer except from the story and I think it is a shame, that much of my experience with it, dies little by little along with my digimons, over and over again.

[@marcosdheleno]

12:15 wanna know an easy way to not only fix it but also make the game better overall? outside battle abilities, specifically traversal abilities. what if you could ride a digimon to walk faster? or reach higher places? what about flight and floating abilities that could let your digimon carry you over unwalkable terrain? maybe a surf like ability that lets you go through a lake. and so on. that could also make getting certain types of digimon more interesting. what if instead of digimon, you get tools that let you do that, so you could still use no matter the digimon you have. imagine if the tool could let you "store" a digimon you unlocked as a skin, maybe do both, with early on, areas being locked until you get a flying capable (at least adult) digimon, and after a while you unlock a tool that will let you do it no matter the digimon you have. same for mounting, so you could always have a faster run for certain maps. there could be an area that is involved in darkness that would require a holy digimon to cleanse, or a hot area that you could either bring an ice or water type monster that would help you go through it.

[@sonoskay]

My arc with this game was very similar, I tried it and was disappointed, between the nostalgia goggles, the balance problems, multiple dificulty cliffs, I really repelled off it. I was happy for the short novelty of a true digimon world game, but wasn't impresses. When I came back later, I really did enjoy my time. I feel the first game is still better designed but this did recapture the best part of the original, and that's exploring a strange and wonderful land while raising cool digimon

This was my favorite digimon game. I loved pretty much everything from the gym grind to the life span (which I did hate when I first played) but I remember telling my friends if you wanna play this then you have to LOVE monster raising. not like it, but love it or you’ll get burnt out

[@xionghero1901]

Game is still amazing today. The cool concept with 2 Digimon was amazing allowing you to really do some cool stuff late game:D. Took me forever to really learn how to actually play the game but best way for anyone still interested today. The game is hardcore grindy but the most similar mechanic i have found similar is pokemons EV mechanic. Training in the gym takes 1 hour away in game but you could farm and push for better stats by farming certain Digimon. This allows you to true min max on another level but grinding takes way too long. The end game is a bit confusing sending you to random places to battle tough digimon but the ability to min max and turn your digimon into the actual merged digimon is amazing.

This game is a great distraction. I use it for self-therapy a lot if things aren't going very well in my life. Digimon will always be one of my ultimate comfort series c:

[@Yeraus]

I just want a new Digimon World developed for newest hardware to make me happy. Next order was good but still lacked in many departments, like graphics and digimon variety. Still, the original Digimon World is one of my favorite games so having a sequel meant the world to me and it was AWESOME. I just want to see the full potential of this series.

[@henry2168]

Very good video, gives me everything I need to understand what this is about, and what's going on with this "new" digimon game coming in 2023. I'm pretty dissappointed we essentially get a remaster of this over a new jrpg, but I guess ppl that like the original world will be happy.

[@SmittyMacJones]

I was the same way I spent all my time In the gym without actual grinding so I was stuck for min on the final boss🤣 so once I let my digimon die and actual train the game became enjoyable I give it a 7.5/10 catch it sale a good pass time

[@SamAllmon]

The number one thing I have beef with this game on is that they don't correlate digimon Levels and and evolutions, so finding those places to grind is real hard, and not intuitive. So you have to like, sneak past a weirdly strong Koromon, to then fight a weirdly weak Birdramon, and it feels like a game I had to play with a guide open, and couldn't just intuit where to go. I love all of the QoL it gives for the World subseries, but it wore me down with the grind. Maybe I'll play it again one of these days, and like you, have a different read on it, but the thing that changed your mind and made you have fun with it, is the thing that made me mad, and stop having fun with it. Great video, here's hoping we get some crumbs for the next Story game soon.

[@FL3Xn]

It seems many of us have had similar experiences with the game, me included. I bought the game for cheap, exciting to finally be playing a digimon game on a big screen, having missed out on all prior entries before. I had no idea how to play, got numemon multiple times and I said yeah I’m out. Seeing the switch version trailer and the $60 price tag on that, I figured if I’m to give this game a shot it better be with the copy I already own. It makes sense now that the game feels like it was made for a handheld device but I am loving it nonetheless playing it remotely on my phone. No numemon and actually have an ultimate in 4 hours of game time. We’ll see where it goes from there though, I am mostly looking forward to it

[@dantewarheart6434]

Hope any of that helps if u didn't already know but trust phantom necter is the item u gotta get trust me super worth it at the vending machine u can spam buy soda to get phantom necter randomly the soda can be used for food that bosses friendship and the friendship between the two Digimon sorry for ranting on just wanted to pass on info that might make these game mechanics more dealable and adjustable

[@PriestessOfSlaanesh]

Hey there. I just found your video , i just finished the the cybersleuth games and absolutely LOVED them to the ground. Now im gonna play Survive and Next Order... Probably survive first... but you made me rly curious about next order. I will tell you after i finished both and thank you (maybe). See in some weeks/months

[@Kroganmerc]

I want a remake of digimon world 2

[@jamesp52]

Always go back to this game every so often. Took a bit to actually learn what to do and crap. The only thing i suggest to people sadly is to follow a guide/know where to train and crap as i hardly use the gym myself. Took me a while to get past ch 1 the first time through. (Still have trouble getting through ch 1 with my first digimon, tho my second gen does most of the work of completing the story lol)

[@GoriCHAD]

played the japanese vita version 5 years ago too, it was grindy but i liked it. wish the ps4 version get a port to pc or something

[@omarreyes7626]

4:40...yeah this really puts me off, if there was an option to fuse them for the stats like in digimon world 2, I would've love this.

[@DiaborMagics]

your training problem is exactly what i needed to hear. i dont remember much from world 1 but i remember that when i played it (as a kid) i trained at the gym a lot. i thought that was what i was supposed to do. and when i tried next order 2 years ago, i thought the same thing, so i went to train and train and train. and the game sucked for it. i dropped it in under 2 hours and if its indeed battles where its at then that should be loads more fun!

[@RS-yk7xh]

Yeah I'm not gonna lie, I was really caught off guard when I heard Guilmon"s new voice since I was always used to his iconic voice from Digimon Tamers.

[@t-rexngatokorua8733]

As someone obsessed with the original on PS1.. I found this one a faithful adaption yet made a lot easier to suit modern gaming. I really like it but can't seem to get annoyed by how much easier it is... And the progression just feels so much faster. . I'm only nitpicking though . It's probably for the best to suit a new audience. I'm just happy they even did a new version of my all time fav digimon game. Would love to see a remaster of digimon world 3

[@Jeppan212]

Idk if people know this, but its also on steam now, not only playstation!

[@TheGuardimaster]

I remember when i was in middle school, playing digimon world psx.... didn't get it and play a lot of the card game in high school i give a new try to DW1, love it, sort of janky, but i love it, get 100% everything. Then in university, a friend exchange me his 3ds for my ps2 and i'd try playing Digimon Re:digitize Decoded Holy Gods it was supreme! it was.... everything i remember in DW but, better. The minigames are super fun, the quest, the cards, even the coliseum, and the best thing..... the optional dungeon, what a odyssey! but worth it! X evolution was the touch for a really good service.

[@grinningdragondren]

Digimon world Was the 1st one I played and seemed to enjoyed the most as when digimon world 2 and 3 came out I was a little shaken by how different they where from the original pet chain and first game. This looks like it will scratch that itch I have to play digimon world again.

[@Restartkun]

How you felt was reasonable. Digimon has had things going for it but hasn't invested on those well and a lot of the new attempts have been pretty much a miss. The most I enjoyed digimon in the recent years is Rearise which is a mobile game with horrendous gameplay and presentation. They could've just taken Adventure Reboot's budget and made that an anime instead. Right now I'm just hoping Survive finally delivers a Digimon experience I've been looking for. Btw great vid I already had lots of reservations towards this game but I'll probably get it eventually :D

[@MattDustyParker]

I'm excited for the switch release of this game coming in February 2023. Long live digimon.

[@yuriassis7184]

I pretty much HATE the lack of care that the developer put after the game release. There is a bug that you need to be aware of if you want to get the platinum trophy. Basically someway somehow eventually you will pick up an item from the ground and it will not be registered in your inventory. If it's a part of a quest, sorry, you'll never be able to finish it and if you're not paying attention, you'll need to restart the entire game. Oh boy how I hate this... I love digimon so much! Wish they release another entry to the "world" franchise.

[@pheonixfire9517]

Imo, yes. Its a really good and ones you get into the meat and potatos of it and are able to chooce what the peeps Digivolve into.... *Chefs kiss Would happily play it again.

[@deling_city]

game is on sale and I grabbed it and love it! tried to play it when it originally came out and didn't like it then

[@AmarantFFO]

and if you wanna hate it, go for platinum, rising the 200 diferent digimon took me way too much even tho I bought many chips that reduce life of the digimons and cheap away the proccess by using evrery item in the game that allows evolutions, took me like 100 hours to get it. Never again.

[@AGildedLie]

I am not a Digimon fan, but I randomly picked up the OG Digimon world on PS1 back in the day and loved it. I have recently been watching a lets play and its got we thinking that I'd really like to play a more modern version of that game. Would you recommend this game for that? or is there a better one? Haven't touched a Digimon game since that first one and am clueless about whats out there.

[@MykonosFan]

There’s a Japanese-only Digimon World called ReDigitize, it has a PSP version and a 3DS version with more content. I think both have English fan translation patches, if you’re willing to mess with emulation and all of that it might be worth looking into. It’s one I haven’t played yet. If that’s more than you’re willing to do this one is basically your only option. There are other Digimon “World” games on the PS1, but they don’t play like this one and the original do. There are other Digimon games I'd recommend overall, like Digimon World DS or the new Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth games. But they're more traditional JRPGs so they don't give the same experience.

[@akantor0811]

Really wish this would get released on steam already

[@csvickers151]

My opinion and the best digimon game since digimon survive came out has not changed it still is digimon world 2003. The endless grind can be quite discouraging at least in world 2003 they don’t die off afterwards so I have to start again. In next order my digimon died right before I had to defeat the main villain. It was really annoying.

[@luxkrux8677]

i still havent continued playing it, i cant get into it, but i really wanna like it so i might give it another shot
