Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode

=Story=

Lament of the X-Antibody
Due to the artificial life form "Vitium" ran wildly, the Digital World became unstable. To restore it, the of the Digital World, Yggdrasill is turned on, having been sealed during the emulation of the Infinity Mountain. To this end, he starts to spread the X-Program in order to force the removal of the alien beings of the Digital World. Under the influence of the X-Program, the Digimon living in the Village of Beginnings start to collapse one after another. To discover the true intentions of Yggdrasill, who has caused the tragedy from happening again, Dukemon (X-Antibody) and Omegamon (X-Antibody) begin a research into the Infinity Mountain. As the X-Program within the Infinity Mountain is persuasive, the Digimon without the X-Antibody must fight to survive. Under this circumstances, Death-X-mon, located in the terrifying final level, acquires an important role: he seeks to destroy the DigiCore (what makes each Digimon unique, where its data is stored, so if it is damaged, the Digimon dies and cannot turn into a DigiTama anymore) of each Digimon. Death-X-mon is the evolution of DORUmon when, after having evolved many times, its powers go out of control.


 * In the Ultimate level, Omegamon (X-Antibody) - He has the special ability of the ultimate force "Omega inForce", a skill that gives great power and allow him to see the future quickly during the battle. When he uses this ability, the senses of Omegamon and its combat potential increases to its maximum limits under any circumstances. Also in this level, Dukemon (X-Antibody) - Bearing the loyality of a knight, Dukemon threw himself into the and was finally blessed with the supreme sacred armor, sacred lance, and sacred shield.
 * In the Child level, DORUmon - A Beast Digimon that is believed to be the experimental "Prototype Digimon" before the Digimon were discovered, as he has an old interface on its forehead. DORUmon, who has a deep connection to the X-Antibody, participates in the research of the Infinity Mountain. Also in this level, Plotmon (X-Antibody) - A Digimon who has joined DORUmon to investigate what happens in the Inifnity Mountain.
 * Also in this scenario, Rosemon (X-Antibody), Ulforce V-dramon (X-Antibody) and Alphamon make an appearance.

Scheme of the Demon Lords
Although "Vitium" has been defeated, the space and time abnormalities continue wreaking havoc in the Real World. Shinomiya Rina notices them, but is quickly sent to the Digital World when Barbamon, who resides in the nucleus of the Dark Area, actives a program for this purpose. Barbamon holds trapped Rina because she has the same ability as Taiga (the ability to use the Decode) and the Demon Lord plans to use this ability to conquer the Digital World. The protagonists must now face the Seven Great Demon Lords if they want to save Rina. However, each Demon Lord has his own plans:


 * Barbamon, the Demon of lies in the center of the Dark Area and is the leader of the Fallen Angel Digimon. When he finds a treasure in the network, he does whatever it takes to catch it, regardless of the cruel means to get it.
 * Lilithmon, the Demon of wants to conquer the Digital World for its own ambitions.
 * Beelzebumon, the Demon of wants to polish off Barbamon's ambitions cooperating with the heroes.
 * Belphemon, the Demon of, that creates a Dark Area by sleeping that blocks everything with its enormous power.
 * Leviamon is the Demon of, a gigantic red crocodile who intended to swallow the entire Digital World with its jaws. Leviamon usually sleep in the bottom of the Net Ocean, near the Dark Area.
 * Furthermore Lucemon, who despite its childish appearance has a great power, is instigated by Barbamon on its fall as an Angel Digimon and its subsequent evolution to Lucemon Falldown Mode, known as the Demon of.

Also, new Digimon appear on the stage of the Demon Lords:


 * Orgemon was originally a servant of Barbamon, but thanks to the power of friendship, tries to make good and evolves to its final form, Titamon to save the protagonist. Ironically, despite its good reasons to evolve, Titamon born from the hatred towards the Olympos XII. Its inexhaustible power makes him earn the nickname of the "One-Man Division".
 * Tyranomon is in the midst of a journey to become stronger. Thus, finally evolves to Rust Tyranomon, a Virus attribute Digimon who could evolve by overcoming tough battles and an hostile environment.

After the conquest of the DigiTower by Barbamon, several Digimon who disagree with the situation have emerged, such as Ofanimon, a female Angel Digimon. Ofanimon, Seraphimon and Cherubimon configure the Three Great Angels who guard the (interpreted as the domain of God). Ofanimon is a kind of that represents the infinite love of God and his righteousness.

=Gameplay= 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. Adressing 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.
