Of the 3 on PS1, Digimon World 2 is my favorite. I was very happy to play this version.

They fixed the story of the original, added a lot more domains, fixed their maps and made an absurdly difficult ending.

Knowing the difficulty of the game, I set up a time where at the end everyone was at level 40 and had healing assists. Also, 2 of them with Friendly Fire and Scissor Arm Omega.

Until the last battle in the coliseum, with this team, I had no difficulties.

As for the guardians and Overlord GAIA... they reminded me of Mirei's battles against the Demon Lords in Cyber ​​Sleuth: almost impossible to win.

I still have to finish Bug Maze... but I'll leave that for another day. For now I'm satisfied with having managed to defeat the final boss.

Thank you so much for making Digimon World 2 Alternative!

I loved this hack! It feels like I forgot my childhood game and playing it all over again. It's like the same story order, but with different dialogs, maps, logic, improvements, and tweaks. If you want to have the same fun as older times, please give this a chance. There are also a lot of newly added Digimon, including the scrapped ones (they showed up in DMW1, but not this game).

The gameplay is smooth and engaging, and the storyline is captivating. I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Thank you to the developers for creating such an incredible gaming mod experience.

As I play I get more fascinated, the new evolution, new attacks. The changes in the history are splendid and when I discovered the POST Areas after boss room I went full crazy. Awesome hack! I will keep playing it.

I played all the way up to the 2nd to last Domain in the story which took over 120+ hours to reach.

This mod is a huge improvement for the base game, the pacing at the start felt great, the changes made to bosses is a huge plus, the changed DNA system makes for a fresh experience, and the Domain tilesets and floor layouts are beautiful overall.

However, as you get so far into the game, mainly towards the end, you will be heavily brutalized. My first issue was the new Difficulty Curve in conjunction with the new Floor Layouts. While appreciated at first glance, as the game progresses is feels way too dragged out and tedious. In my honest opinion, the amount of floors in later Domains alongside the bigger floor layouts make the Domains take way too long to traverse and makes me paranoid for even the slightest mistake, be it a Return/Energy Bug or an Electro-Spore jump scare. These were in the vanilla game so I guess this point wouldn't have merit, but it how many/big the floors are that make mistakes very unforgiving. It didn't feel enjoyable to play a game where it takes multiple 15 minute long trips to beat a single Domain. Next, in conjunction with the Floors, is the difficulty curve. I feels it steeps way too hard at around Chaos Lord's Domain. Granted I got past Chaos Lord, it's after that I started to not see any enjoyment in the game and it felt like a chore (more on that in a bit). The inclusion of more Digimon variety is great. I started Black Sword and had a solid team. My problem is that the game feels like I was discouraged to use the Digimon I wanted to. I got to the final Crimson fight, and it broke me. How? The way I play DW2 is that I stick only with what I want to use, do a grinding session when a trade is available, then bum rush the Bosses running from any fights I get into; rinse and repeat. I know this playstyle is odd, and heck, is probably not the way it was intended to be played. But having played this game (vanilla) 3 times before this mod, it's ingrained into how I play RPGs in general. In fact, this was the RPG that burned this playstyle into me in the first place. Back to point, I was very demoralized once I hit that last Crimson fight. I resorted to cheats to cut down the grinding from that point on, but it wouldn't be enough. I got to the end of the 2nd to last Domain and got to the Boss. I got close to winning, knocked out 2 of 3, but I got out-DPS'd and Game Over'd. I took a second to breathe, looked at my playtime, and said "I'm not playing this anymore."

Finally, in summary, This mod had a lot of care put into it to make it an improvement over the original in more ways than one. But despite all my hours, all the grind, the team I thought was the best; I resorted to cheats and still couldn't finish it. Maybe it's because I was going into this to just have fun, not give 110% every two minute long fight. This is a massive overall and vastly different, but no amount of modding or hacking can fix this game's overall biggest fundamental flaw, the grind.

From my experience I give this a 6/10. This is a great mod with so much to it. But sadly, it isn't for me.

Greetings from Brazil!!

I'm really enjoying this game, been playing for 5 hours (in the save) and 5 days in real life :D. I saw the reviews complaining about early rookie digimon changing their type when digivolving, like betamon to airdramon. Personally I liked this feature, it increases the difficult and forces you to find another way. The real problem was when I tried to DNA my Sorcerymon with Airdramon, it didn't work even though they are the same type (wonder if its cause betamon was virus). LOVED the conflux cave maaan, what in the world?!?! LOVED that you made the different skills really matter in terms of AP, MP cost, halving defense, specialty, AoE, effects, visual effects... Been wondering if some big rocks you put in empty walls are just to mock us or there are secret fake walls. Will review more later, but for now, thank you for this work of art.

Just finished the game and it was pretty incredible! But the difficult part was in the beginning where certain rookie levels digivolve into different types from their original type (Vaccine turning into Virus etc.) locking them out of DNA digivolution because the result will be a different type from your team's specialties. Had to rush the story and reach Device Dome to fix this. Overall a really nice mod for veteran and new players alike.

I love the addition of new recolor Digimon like ModokiBetamon. Kinda wish we can know what the Digimon evolve to especially with the DP system and the changing of attribute on evolution in this mod. I evolved Betamon that is Virus into Airdramon that is Vaccine, now I can't use him for DNA evolution.

I want to say 3 things, trying to be as brief as possible:

1- This hack is a great work and it will inevitably bring fun if you like this game. Play it!

2- I would like to express my gratitude to whoever is behind this. You are amazing!

3- I already want more, I believe there is still room and I would love for there to be a complete new plot with new bosses and everything after the mainline.

It balances out many aspects of the game and provides even more usage of floor types to regular enemy encounter. I just reached File Island, the last domain fight before I can get to the island is certainly challenging and surprising! Love on the little friendship between Volt and MegaSeadramon. Onward to the final boss

Digimon World 2 is already a pretty decent game, and this rom hack makes its amazing, the games overall looks alot nicer and feels alot faster.

This is a great rom hack overall and I'm glad there's still people out there that want to make rom hacks for digimon games! For how good the original Digimon World games already are, adding to them make them all the more amazing, thank you!
