Play Digimon Story - Super Xros Wars Red (J) Online

Digimon Story: Super Xros Wars Red is one of those DS games that flew under the radar outside Japan, but it’s a solid pick if you’re into monster-raising RPGs with a twist. Right off the bat, you’re thrown into this weird digital world where your Digimon can actually fuse mid-battle—like, three of them smashing together into one overpowered monstrosity. It sounds chaotic, but once you get the hang of it, pulling off a perfectly timed Xros Fusion feels ridiculously satisfying.

The roster’s packed with familiar faces (Agumon fans, you’re covered) and some deep-cut Digimon I didn’t even recognize at first. Battles play out like a grid-based tactics game, so positioning matters way more than your typical "mash A to win" RPG. Just don’t expect a fancy story—it’s mostly an excuse to grind, fuse, and watch your weird little monsters evolve into even weirder ones. If you’ve got a soft spot for the DS era’s janky charm, this one’s a fun time.
