Digimon World 3: The Door of A New Adventure (デジモンワールド3 新たなる冒険の扉, Dejimon Wārudo 3 Aratanaru Bouken no Tobira) is a video game.


Story[edit]

Digimon Online (デジモン・オンライン), the first virtual online game utilized by Matrix Chamber (マトリクス・チェンバー) and maintained by MAGAMI (マガミ), is open for business and Atsushi is ready to play. The tale of a young boy and his friends begins as they travel throughout the Asuka Server, raising and battling alongside their partner Digimon.

Suddenly, the maintenance of Digimon Online is announced and all humans inside are unable to return to the Real World. From the depths of the Amaterasu Server, the terrorist organization A.o.A emerges, trying to take over both the Digital World and the Real World. It’s up to Atsushi to stop them in their tracks and keep the peace before their server becomes corrupted forever.

After peace returns to the Digital World, Digimon Online is reconstructed with only the Central and East Sectors of Amaterasu Server accessible. Atsushi can finally challenge the real leaders of Amaterasu Server by collecting all 5 Epic Items (エピックアイテム). Only then will the World Champ (ワールドチャンプ) reveal his identity, and Atsushi will have to earn that title by finishing the final battle.

Gameplay[edit]

Digimon World 3 is a traditional RPG that focuses on battle and mostly exploration. The battle system is a single battle with up to 3 Digimon in the party. The player can command his Digimon by attacking the enemy without MP or using Techniques. Any attacks may result in a critical hit and can be evaded randomly. The player can also switch out his Digimon or run away from wild Digimon. When a Digimon is switched with a compatible Digimon, they can do a temporary Jogress Evolution and use its Signature Technique.

The natural evolution system of partner Digimon is based on level: LV 5 for Adult, LV 20 for Perfect, and LV 40 for Ultimate. The additional evolution depends on the partner Digimon and the requirement of certain stats. Certain Techniques can be learned and loaded to other evolutions by reaching certain Digimon's LV Skill. Any partner Digimon as Child stage already have their Signature Technique, but is unable to use any loaded Techniques. Each partner Digimon can have up to 3 different evolutions at a time, and up to 3 loaded Techniques per evolution. These can only be changed by Dr. Kadomatsu or any Piccolomon in the Digimon Lab.

Evolution of partner Digimon can be set before the battle and can be performed during the battle. However, partner Digimon may devolved when they are ambushed, thus cannot attack for on the first turn. Every partner Digimon also have a Blast Gauge. When the Blast Gauge is full, the Digimon will evolve into a higher level stage and can use its Signature Technique and any Loaded Techniques for 3 turns without needing MP. Blast Gauge can only be raised by receiving damage of at least 30% of a Digimon's HP.

Equipment can be equipped on certain Digimon to enhance their stats and have an additional effect, but some of them can have drawbacks. The equipment slots of the partner Digimon are Head, Body, Left Hand, Right Hand, and a pair of Accessories. Certain equipment can be bought from shops, found in treasure chests, or by defeating certain Digimon. However, the enhanced stats of these equipments are ignored for evolution requirements.

There are 8 partner Digimon in total, which can be obtained by using the Digimon's DDNA, which can be obtained by defeating the Perfect form of their respective Digimon. The Digimon's DDNA can be brought to the DDNA Agents, thus the player can have their newborn Digimon appear in the Digimon Lab.
