Following up on the screenshots I shared a few days ago, here’s a short trailer showing the project in action.

This preview includes exploration, partner training, recruitment dialogue, digivolution, and combat. I’ve been refining the environments and core mechanics, with more work still to come.

Thank you for the feedback on the first post. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts now that you can see some gameplay, or even just opinions. i want to keep it as close to the original as possible but also add some secrets.

The npc claims a one handed weapon and a shield, or two one handed weapons, will be better than a two handed weapon. In digimon world 3. They're also more expensive. Two handers are cheaper.

But the stats on two handers absolutely blow the one gander + shield out of the water. It dominates so massively that the early game two hander the zweihander is about as good as two belial fangs or grey swords, endgame one handers.

There is a bonus also for using a complete set of signature items. Eg for guilmon that's the hazard set. But the actual stats seem paltry compared to normal two handers.

The Gulf Sword, late game 2h gives +540 strength. That's completely monstrous. The cost is tiny amount of speed, which is easy to boost with training.

Am I missing something? Is there a hidden advantage to one hander and shield?
