Digimon World 2 (デジモンワールド2, Dejimon Wārudo 2) is a video game.


Story[edit]

Akira lives in Digital City, a town located in Directory Continent, a land where Digimon used to live peacefully. However, wild Digimon began attacking Akira's hometown, and Akira joins a Guard Team (ガードチーム) that is charged with protection peace and security of the region.

Akira finishes his last Training Mission from Zudokan to become a Guard Tamer and joins one of the Guard Teams. Akira has the option of choosing between the teams of the Blue Falcon (ブルーファルコン), the Silver Cross (シルバークロス, dub: Gold Hawk), or the Black Sword (ブラックソード). Akira receives missions from the Team Leader, such as hunting down and battling wild Digimon, finding important people, and encountering and defeating Tamers belonging to the Blood Knights (ブラッドナイツ), an evil and malicious team that revolt against Digital City 30 years ago and used various Digimon to do their bidding.

Gameplay[edit]

Unlike its previous game, Digimon World, Digimon World 2 is a traditional turn-based RPG with dungeon crawl as the exploration element. The player's exploration in the dungeons involves around DigiBeetle, a digital vehicle equipped with various cannons, armors, batteries, and additional engines. DigiBeetle is the main tool to perform important actions such as destroying obstacles and hidden traps, assisting the Digimon allies in the battle, as well as luring and befriending wild Digimon to increase the player's party. However, there is a limit number of items and Digimon that can be brought during the mission, which can be increased by upgrading the DigiBeetle.

Evolution and Jogress play an important role as the grinding experience system. Digimon's evolution is determined by the Jogress Points (JP), while Jogress is heavily required to progressing the level limit. A Child Digimon may evolve to Adult Digimon at LV 11, an Adult Digimon may evolve to Perfect Digimon at LV 21, and a Perfect Digimon may evolve to Ultimate Digimon at LV 31. Unlike in the anime, Jogress is the process of combining 2 Digimon with high Level into a Digimon with lower Level. However, the Jogressed Digimon is potentially stronger and can learn many Techniques from its parents. The result of Digimon by Jogress is determined by the parent Digimon's genetic and Attribute.

Battle Mechanics[edit]

The battle system in this game is 3-VS-3 Digimon battle that revolves around 2 Digimon traits: Attributes (Data, Vaccine, and Virus) and elements (Water, Fire, Nature, Machine, Darkness). A Digimon has stats that consist of HP, MP, Offense, Defense, and Speed. Speed is the most difficult stat to be raised, but Digimon with slightly lower Speed has a chance of act faster than the higher ones.

Attribute Chain

  • ... → Data → Vaccine → Virus → ... (strengthened by)
  • ... → Data → Virus → Vaccine → ... (weakened by)

Elemental Chain

  • ... → Water → Fire → Nature → Machine → Darkness → ... (strengthened by)
  • ... → Water → Nature → Darkness → Fire → Machine → ... (weakened by)

The battle also involves Techniques, mostly by using Digimon's MP to lower opponent's HP to 0. Depending on those Digimon's stats, damage calculation is always fixed in this game, but they can be strengthened or weakened by the corresponding elemental Tile. A Digimon may also able to Guard, which reduces the damage taken and restores its MP a bit.

Naturally, a Digimon species can only have 1 signature Technique, but it can learn up to 12 Techniques. There are 4 types of Technique:

  • Attack (アタック): Basic/regular attack that sometimes deals additional effect.
  • Counter (カウンター): Always goes after Attack, but deals additional effect only when the user is attacked.
  • Interrupt (インタラプト): Always executed before any target's action, but can be only used when the target's Tech is not Interrupt.
  • Assist (アシスト): Non-damaging Techs that usually support the allies and/or disrupt the opponents.

There is multiplayer gameplay called Battle Mode, which unlike single-player battle, the battle relies on the priority of Technique gauge by pressing the button repeatedly.

Compatibility[edit]

Any Digimon that raised in the Pocket Digimon World series can be transferred to Digimon World 2 by using a Memory Card that emulates Pocket Digimon World. This is the only legitimate way to obtain Chimairamon in this game. Digimon World 2 is also compatible with WonderSwan/WonderSwan Color by using D-1 Grand Prix feature.

However, these compatibilities were removed in the English version.

Each Ultimate Digimon also have two other unused signature Techniques: Baihumon's Techs are Tekkosou (てっこそう) and Seidouhou (せいどうほう), Omegamon's Techs are Garuru Cannon (ガルルキャノン) and Omega Heal (オメガヒール), and Diablomon's Techs are Paradise Lost (パラダイスロスト) and Multiply (マルチプライ).
  • There are two Battle Mode soundtracks which was later used in Digimon World 3, which specifically can be heard in the Legendary Gym and when battles against friendly Tamer. There is also a soundtrack used when in the Shop, which was later used in the same game, which can be heard in the auction in the Cargo Tower of Asuka City.
  • Pre-orders of this game came with the Hyper Colosseum card Dw-4.
