As its name implies, the game invites players to step into the shoes of protagonist Takuma Momozuka, who, along with his friends, got lost on school trip and was somehow transported to a mysterious world filled with dangerous monsters.

The "potentially grim" choices players make are said to be able to heavily influence the direction of the "dark" story, including the Digimons' digivolution process, different paths, multiple endings and what characters are killed — hence the T (Teen) rating.

In addition to the storytelling, Digimon Survive is said to have a focus on turn-based combat, as well as free time sections, a friendship affinity system and more.

The RPG is set in a 3D world, however, battles in the game are fought in 2D in a more classic SRPG style.

Initially announced in a July 2018 issue of the Japanese magazine V Jump, Digimon Survive's release does come three years later than originally planned.

Thankfully, however, it is available worldwide as of July 29, 2022 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC (via Steam).
