Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker's Memory

Game Overview

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker's Memory expands upon the world established in Cyber Sleuth, presenting an intersecting story told from the perspective of the hacker group Hudie. When Keisuke Amazawa’s EDEN account is stolen and linked to a criminal conspiracy, he joins forces with Hudie to navigate cyber-dungeons, resolve online disputes, and uncover the truth behind the digital realm's impending collapse.

Gameplay focuses on exploration, turn-based combat, and monster collection. Players explore physical Tokyo locations alongside digital cyberspace networks, taking on requests from citizens and hackers alike. In combat, players deploy up to three Digimon at a time in tactical turn-based battles governed by classic type match-ups (Vaccine, Data, Virus) and elemental attributes.

The game boasts a roster of over 320 unique Digimon to scan, hatch, train, Digivolve, and De-Digivolve inside DigiLabs. Additionally, Hacker's Memory introduces Domination Battles, a grid-based strategy mode where teams fight for control of node squares across tactical cyber-maps. Tailored for the PS Vita, the game features crisp anime visual styling, full dual-analog exploration, and cross-platform save integration.
