November 24th, 2015. Bandai Namco Entertainment has published a trailer on their official YouTube channel for upcoming smartphone game Digimon Linkz, identical to the video uploaded by V Jumpfor TGS2015 earlier this year. The game's farm system is derived from the Digimon Story series, with a gashapon machine replacing the standard shops, while its 3-on-3 battle system is partially borrowed fromCyber Sleuth.
Instead of SP, Digimon in Linkz are shown to have AP gauges divided into a fixed number of bars, and the battle menus read (clockise) "ATK, AP2, Activate, AP3" rather than the normal Sleuth menu. The player is also given the option to set the speed of animations in the game while in-battle, while in Sleuth they could only turn the animations on or off in the field.
September 17th, 2015. Digimon World -next 0rder-'s official promotional video is now available through V Jump's
public YouTube channel. Featuring our first real gameplay clips, the trailer shows off travel in the field, evolution, and the game's battle system. It opens with the (untranslated) phrases "I'm
hungry," "I want dinner," "Waii!" "Friend," "Play," "Welcome home," and
finally "Thank you." The player's Digimon can be seen speaking to them
in real time as they travel the digital world, asking to be fed,
expressing excitement, and sleepiness.
The
player characters can be seen traveling through several areas,
including a beached shipwreck, a desert of communication racks, and a
city. The storyline dialogue sequences use a more polished version of Cyber Sleuth's
engine, while the battle system is original (seen from 1:20 on). The
trailer also features two of the Royal Knights Digimon, Alphamon and Omegamon, briefly fighting before its end, and a mysterious new Digimon
at the 2:15 mark.
The shorter Linkz trailer shows Digimon being raised on a Digifarm, and battling in a mobile replica of Cyber Sleuth's battle system. The game was previously detailed along with -next 0rder- in this month's issue of V Jump.
