Digifarm and Digimon evolution

The Digifarm creates a dedicated area for training and care. Digitation and different evolution paths allow collected Digimon to take on new roles in the team. Preparing your partners is therefore an independent part of progress alongside the turn-based battles.

ADAMAS, Iliad and the time travel

After an incident in Tokyo, your character wakes up eight years in the past. The organisation ADAMAS investigates how the events of the human world and the Digital World Iliad are connected. The story also leads to Inori Misono, Aegiomon and the Olympos XII.

The time jumps form the narrative framework for the search for the origin of the looming destruction of both worlds.
