It has some similarities with 2 and 3 due to being in the same basic monster collection genre but that's it, really.
Hmm, thanks you two. It looks interesting and it's the right price point (also knowing that it was localized by 8-4 is a plus) but I think I'll wait for some impression. I really wish it had a demo.I wish, Digimon World was all about deep interaction with your monster which this game doesn't seem to have?
It does remind me of Digimon World 2 though with the usage of a customizable vehicle as a major element.
