Digimon Alysion is a free-to-play online card game to rival Pokemon TCG Pocket, but we’ve no idea when it’ll actually come out yet
Digimon Alysion has been revealed during Digimon Con with a nice and short little trailer. In it, we see a variety of characters in cinematics, a new Digimon, as well as some gameplay! We’ve not got a release date though, so you’ll have to hang tight for more news on when you can actually play it.
According to the game’s new website, it’ll be a free-to-play mobile game with in-app purchases. Any other information must be gleaned from the trailer itself, so brace yourself for some top-notch analysis of that. You can also watch it yourself down below!
Straight off the bat, we see the game being played – the player has a bunch of cards in their hand reminiscent of the pre-existing physical card game. So, it does seem to be a faithful recreation of pre-existing format. After that, we see a selection of pixel art Digimon with levels attached. Now, we don’t know how this’ll work, but it appears as though players will be able to select and level up a collection of Digimon avatars. These don’t seem to allign with the cards themselves either, but hey, if you like the idea of Digi-volving your little guys, that appears to be a feature.
Then we get a shot of what appears to be a pack opening, and a card collection screen. Pretty standard. On top of that, we see an early look at the start of a PvP match between two players. So yes, this looks like a multiplayer card game, rather than some sort of PvE single player card game.
After that, a variety of characters are shown off, all of which look pretty cool. But the real meaty reveal is a new Digimon! Gemmon is a little rabbit looking freak, with a big gem in its forehead, as well as several embedded into its body. Gemmon doesn’t see too peeved about that though, in fact it appears pretty chuffed about the whole affair. As it should! Being a Digimon is cool.
That’s basically all we get. We do see Bandai Namco’s logo at the tail end of the trailer, which makes sense as it is the primary developer behind the game.
