Digimon World 4, known as Digimon World X (デジモンワールドX, Dejimon Wārudo X) in Japan, is an action role-playing game for PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox developed by BEC and published by Bandai as part of their Digimon franchise.
Unlike previous games in the Digimon World series, it features action-based hack and slash gameplay and supports up to four players. Each player plays as either an Agumon, a Veemon, a Guilmon, and a Dorumon. The game is loosely based on the 2005 Digital Monster X-Evolution film, even using footage from the movie itself. The GameCube version was not released in the PAL Region.
Gameplay – Digimon World 4
Digimon World 4 is an action role-playing game with elements of digital pet games.[1] The game offers a choice of one of four starter Digimon: Dorumon, Veemon, Guilmon, and Agumon. Depending on what the player does in the game, the Digimon it selects and the level, it may gain a Digivolution. In this game the player does not use the Digimon powers but instead attacks the enemy by using weapons like swords, guns and axes.
Reception – Digimon World 4
Digimon World 4 has received average to poor reviews from critics. It holds an average of 6.1 on IGN, which states “Digimon World 4 had the makings of a decent action role-playing game. Unfortunately, a myriad of issues bring it down. It has a wholly unsatisfying single-player game, made worse by a clunky camera and overly cheap enemies.
It’s also unbalanced, leaving players without any compatriots out in the cold. Bring in a few friends and things change drastically.”[9] The game was also criticized for its similarities to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, yet “not coming close in terms of narrative, style and game mechanics,” and for its drastically different style than the other Digimon World games.
