Games Like Pokemon on PS4
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth
Digimon will also be associated with Pokemon, as it is seen as one of the first and most successful counterparts to the beloved monster catching series.
But while the Digital Monsters franchise has its own loyal fanbase, it always finds itself in second place by a wide margin in this rivalry, both in games and anime.
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is an exception to that pattern though, as Media.Vision beat GameFreak to the punch on the console market with their RPG.
In this third-person title, players assume the role of either Takumi Aiba, a human that can control Digimon. Just like Pokemon, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth allows players to choose from three main partners at the start: Palmon, Terriermon, and Hagurumon.
Regardless of who is picked, the game follows a linear storyline in which Aiba must battle and capture other Digimon in order to build a roster to defeat strong opponents.
Type advantages and leveling are identical to Pokemon, which shouldn’t surprise anyone familiar with the series.
The battle system doesn’t try to fix what isn’t broken either, focusing on turn-based tactics and allowing for the use of items as well.
PlayStation fans that have been avidly awaiting a possible Pokemon console game, or at least an equivalent, should give this one a shot.
