Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode (デジモンワールド リ:デジタイズ デコード, Dejimon Wārudo Ri:Dejitaizu Dekōdo) is a video game.
Story[edit]
Lament of the X-Antibody[edit]
Due to the artificial lifeform Vitium running wild, the Digital World becomes unstable. In order to restore it, the Host Computer of the Digital World, Yggdrasill, is reactivated after having been sealed during the emulation of Infinity Mountain. To achieve this, Yggdrasill spreads the X-Program throughout the Digital World in an attempt to eliminate the foreign beings inhabiting it.
As the X-Program spreads, the Digimon living in the Village of Beginnings begin collapsing one after another. Seeking to uncover Yggdrasill's true intentions and prevent another tragedy, Dukemon (X-Antibody) and Omegamon (X-Antibody) begin investigating Infinity Mountain. Since the X-Program permeating Infinity Mountain is lethal, Digimon without the X-Antibody must struggle to survive.
Under these circumstances, Death-X-mon, who resides on the mountain's terrifying final floor, plays a central role. It seeks to destroy each Digimon's DigiCore, the core of its existence that stores its data. If a DigiCore is destroyed, the Digimon dies permanently and can no longer be reborn as a DigiTama. Death-X-mon is the ultimate form of DORUmon, reached after repeated evolutions cause its powers to spiral out of control.
- In the Ultimate level, Omegamon (X-Antibody) appears. It possesses the ultimate ability, Omega inForce, which grants overwhelming power and allows it to instantaneously predict the flow of battle. When activated, Omegamon's senses and combat capabilities are enhanced to their absolute limits. Dukemon (X-Antibody) also appears in this level. Embodying the loyalty of a holy knight, it fought in the Holy Wars and was ultimately blessed with the supreme sacred armor, the sacred lance, and the sacred shield.
- In the Child level, DORUmon appears. It is a Beast Digimon believed to be the experimental Prototype Digimon created before modern Digimon, as evidenced by the ancient interface embedded in its forehead. Owing to its deep connection with the X-Antibody, DORUmon participates in the investigation of Infinity Mountain. Also appearing in this level is Plotmon (X-Antibody), who joins DORUmon in investigating the mysteries surrounding Infinity Mountain.
- Rosemon (X-Antibody), Ulforce V-dramon (X-Antibody), and Alphamon also appear in this scenario.
Scheme of the Demon Lords[edit]
Although Vitium has been defeated, distortions in space-time continue to wreak havoc upon the Real World. Shinomiya Rina notices these anomalies, but is soon transported to the Digital World after Barbamon, who resides within the core of the Dark Area, activates a program designed for that purpose. Barbamon holds Rina captive because she possesses the same ability as Taiga: the power to use the Decode. Intending to exploit this ability to conquer the Digital World, Barbamon forces the protagonists to confront the Seven Great Demon Lords in order to rescue her. However, each Demon Lord pursues its own ambitions.
- Barbamon, the Demon Lord representing Greed, resides at the center of the Dark Area and leads the Fallen Angel Digimon. Whenever he discovers a valuable treasure within the network, he will stop at nothing to obtain it, regardless of the cruelty of the means required.
- Lilithmon, the Demon Lord representing Lust, seeks to conquer the Digital World to satisfy her own ambitions.
- Beelzebumon, the Demon Lord representing Gluttony, opposes Barbamon's plans and cooperates with the protagonists.
- Belphemon, the Demon Lord representing Sloth, possesses such overwhelming power that, while sleeping, it creates a Dark Area that engulfs everything around it.
- Leviamon, the Demon Lord representing Envy, is a gigantic crimson crocodilian Digimon that seeks to swallow the entire Digital World whole. It usually sleeps in the depths of the Net Ocean, near the Dark Area.
- Although Lucemon retains the appearance of a child, it possesses tremendous power. Manipulated by Barbamon, it ultimately falls from grace as an Angel Digimon and evolves into Lucemon Falldown Mode, becoming the Demon Lord representing Pride.
Several new Digimon also appear during the Demon Lords storyline.
- Orgemon originally serves Barbamon. However, inspired by the bonds of friendship, it reforms and evolves into Titamon in order to save the protagonist. Its seemingly inexhaustible strength earns it the nickname "One-Man Division".
- Tyranomon is traveling in search of greater strength. Through countless fierce battles and by overcoming a harsh environment, it ultimately evolves into Rust Tyranomon, a powerful Virus Attribute Digimon.
Following Barbamon's conquest of the DigiTower, several Digimon rise in opposition to his rule, including Ofanimon. Together with Seraphimon and Cherubimon, she forms the Three Archangels, the guardians of the Kernel, interpreted as the domain of God. Ofanimon embodies the Holy Mother, representing God's infinite love and righteousness.
Gameplay[edit]
The gameplay is comparable to Digimon World 1 (1999) on the PSX and the 2012 PSP Release Digimon World Re:Digitize. While the core gameplay remains essentially the same there are various changes.
Compared to the previous release of Digimon World:Redigitize on the PSP, Decode adds various Quality of Life enhancements. For the first time within a world game, the game keeps a Journal of every Evolution your Digimon went through, including Weight, Stats and everything else. This feature makes you know exactly how you got this Digimon. The game also provides hints for evolutions.
The game introduces the Decode ability, which, depending on your abilities as a Tamer will give your Partner Digimon a serious boost. With the introduction of this new ability the max stats were also upped to 99999/9999 respectively. To get max stats, compared to the previous installation, is now quite challenging.
The game introduces various camera angles to have a better overview in battle. Addressing complaints from the PSP Version, the game also adjusts the overworld camera so that the Digimon and protagonist are closer to each other.
The roster of the game experienced a considerable increase and a total of 161 Digimon are obtainable, with some only obtainable in this game. Re:Digitize on the PSP had 161 Items in total while Decode bumped this number up to astounding 424, with a variety of items never seen before.
The game also introduces Multiplayer, allowing Tamers to trade cards, fight battles or even do coop missions!
Introducing a Hard Mode, a second protagonist and various fan favourites, the game offers a considerably more enjoyable experience than the PSP Version of the game.
