Digimon Survive (NSP, XCI) ROM + v1.0.5 Update + All DLCs

Digimon Survive is a visual novel with tactical role-playing game elements developed by Hyde and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. Announced in 2018, the game was originally developed on a much smaller budget compared to previous Digimon games.

However, as development progressed, producer Kazumasa Habu realized that their original budget and smaller studio were inadequate to achieve his vision, resulting in the game being re-developed from scratch and switched to a different game engine.

This, along with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulted in the game being delayed from a previously announced 2019 release date. The game was released in Japan on July 28, 2022, for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch then released on Windows and Xbox One the following day worldwide in other territories. The game received mixed reviews from critics and fans.

Upon becoming disoriented during a school excursion, Takuma Momozuka finds himself thrust into a world inhabited by formidable adversaries and newfound comrades. Accompany Takuma and his companions on their quest to return home, crafting your narrative in this gripping visual novel complete with turn-based combat.
