I was an avid fan of Digimon as a child, and it still holds a special place in my heart today. And though I loved Digimon Rumble Arena on the PS1, and its sequel on the PS2, they were still rather flawed games. Thus, when Digimon All-Star Rumble was announced, my inner child was absolutely ecstatic in the hope that we would finally be getting the perfect Digimon fighting game.
This time around, Bandai Namco Games takes the publisher’s seat, as Digimon All-Star Rumble is developed by Prope Ltd., an independent developer whose only other Digimon-related title is the 2013 RPG, Digimon Adventure for the PSP. While this did set off a few alarm bells, I decided to give them a chance. Have Prope done the source material, my childhood, justice and given fans the Digimon fighting game we’ve been waiting for?
The latest fighting game discounts includes Digimon All-Star Rumble (Xbox 360) at $24.45, Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition (PS4) at $13.79, Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector's Set (Xbox 360) at $56.95 and more.
Worthplaying: For a time, Digimon was up there with Pokémon in terms of awareness. It might not have been as wildly popular as Pikachu and friends, but it did have a long-running show, an assortment of games, merchandise, and a theatrical movie before bowing out of the American marketplace. In Japan, the franchise has kept moving along with new anime, manga, and a few games on portable systems. The 15th anniversary of the series is coming up and a new anime based on that series is expected in 2015, so Bandai Namco decided the time was right to bring a Digimon game back to North America. Instead of going for RPG adventures on the portable systems, however, we got a fighting game, Digimon All-Star Rumble.
The price for Digimon All-Star Rumble has been discounted to $29.99 with a new deal.
