The game combines top-down exploration with turn-based battles. When encountering enemies, players enter combat and rely on Digimon attributes, skill types, and evolution paths to win. Digimon can be trained, healed, and managed in Digi-Farms, which also affect growth and stat development. As the story advances, new areas, requests, and evolution requirements open up, while quests and materials help expand the roster and strengthen the team.

Strategy
Build a balanced team with varied attributes and skill types so you are not easily countered. Establish and use Digi-Farms early to improve training efficiency and meet evolution requirements. Take on side quests and requests whenever possible to earn resources, unlock new areas, and gain more Digimon. In battle, pay attention to elemental advantages and turn order, and keep at least one recovery-capable Digimon on hand.
