Digimon Deal Makes Newest Game Just $15

With a brand-new Digimon Story game on the way, many fans are eager to revisit or catch up on earlier Digimon games. Many of the most recent, most beloved games in the Digimon franchise can cost up to $60. We don’t yet know how much Digimon Story: Time Stranger will cost, but it’s safe to say that the other recent titles at least come close to that price tag. For the Digimon fan on a budget, watching for discounts can be a great way to catch up on the back catalog. And thankfully, a Nintendo eShop deal makes the newest Digimon game before Time Stranger just $15 for Nintendo Switch.

The game we’re talking about here is Digimon Survive, which arrived in 2022, on the Digimon franchise’s 20th anniversary. It blends visual novel storytelling and tactical RPG mechanics to create a rich, narrative-driven experience set in the world of Digimon. In it, players will find themselves transported to the Digital World, and gameplay focuses on battling to survive and find your way back home.

While the different style compared to games like Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth left some fans feeling underwhelmed, many gamers think Digimon Survive is one of the best Digimon games of recent years. As fits a visual novel, the story is compelling and takes center stage. Even so, the turn-based combat makes Digimon Survive a bit more engaging gameplay-wise than some visual novels. For those looking to engage with a deep, emotionally powerful story, this game will almost certainly deliver. The game’s main story takes around 32 hours to complete, with up to 75 total hours of gameplay for completionist gamers.
