When the boundaries between the real and digital worlds break down and digital monsters start kidnapping human children, whom do you call? If you're a fan of the Digimon television series, you'd know the answer immediately: the Digital Accident Tactical Squad (also called DATS), of course! Digimon World: Data Squad is the Digimon series' latest game, and this time, it's in the form of a turn-based RPG.
The game has a fantastic concept. You manage the relationship between the trainers and their Digimon - depending on the Digimons' moods, they'll want to perform different actions in combat. For example, if you scold a fragile Digimon, she might want to flee from battle, whereas if you throw her a few words of encouragement, she might really desire to Sunshine Bazooka an enemy. How do you know what your Digimon want to do, though?
