Game Description

Digimon Digital Card Battles are three round strategy match ups using 30-card decks based on creatures with unique attack powers, special effects, counterattacks, armor, and the ability to increase to stronger levels through "digivolution" using special option cards or creature fusion. Three Digimon card levels, rookie (R), champion (C) and ultimate (U) (mega Digimon), can be "digivolved" to create more powerful creatures. Partner Cards, selected at the beginning of each game, can get armor, gain experience points, and power up with the use of Digi-Parts as you advance through battles.

Five specific cities are available for fighting battles: Beginner, Flame, Jungle, Igloo, and Junk. Each city features a different style of Digimon opponent with fire, nature, ice, and rare specialties. Beginner City contains a Battle Café (info), Battle Arena (tournaments), Fusion Shop (merge cards), and Player Room (statistics). Digimon cards come in five flavors, including fire, ice, nature, dark, and rare, with specific hit points, attack power, "digivolve" power, and support features.

If two players each have a game saved on a memory card, Digi-Battles and trades can occur on one system using the "Battle with a Friend" (versus) option. Balancing decks between R, C, U, and option cards is essential for success in Digimon Digital Card Battles, as more than two dozen methods are available for gaining experience bonus points depending on your setup.

Roots & Influences

Digimon first appeared on the Bandai handheld WonderSwan in 1999, and quickly became available in Europe and North America on the PlayStation as a competitor to the Pokémon franchise. Digimon Digital Card Battle features many of the characters and monsters from the animated cartoon show seen on Fox Family.

Digimon Digital Card Battle (known as Digimon World: Digital Card Arena in Japan) is a PlayStation video game based on the Digimon franchise. DDCB is very different from the other Digimon releases in the fact that it is a totally card-based game. Players have a deck of 30 cards, consisting of Digimon, support and special digivolution cards. The digivolution concept is similar to the other games, in that you start off with a Rookie and finish with an Ultimate (missing out Fresh, In-training and Mega, although Mega Digimon appear as Ultimate). Players sacrifice Digimon in their hand in order to build up "digivolution points" or DP. When one has enough for their desired Digimon, digivolution becomes possible. This brings a new tactical element to the game: deciding which cards to sacrifice.

Partners

As the game starts off you are able to choose one of three Digimon to be your first Partner card (Veemon, Hawkmon and Armadillomon). As the game progresses your partners will gain experience and become stronger and gain the ability to Armor digivolve. As you use this ability you lose the ability to digivolve into Champion (C) or Ultimate (U) levels. You can have multiple partners in a deck.

Digi-Parts

As the player's partner/s go up in ranks, he/she gains digi-parts. Digi-parts can be used to modify the partner to boosts its HP, attack power or support effect. The others can be gained by beating certain opponents a certain number of times and partner fusing.
