Bandai's alternate-dimensional digital monsters return to 128-bit generation consoles in this role-playing release. Unlike most previous games of the franchise, Digimon World 4 offers a real-time combat system and a multiplayer mode that supports up to four, for a hack-and-slash Gauntlet-style adventure featuring 16 of the most popular Digimon from the animated television series. Access to the real world has been cut off, but a portal to a strange unknown world has just been discovered, and must be explored. As they make their way through the game, characters can collect new weapons and armor, and of course, unlock new Digievolutions.
