Digimon Life (デジモン生活, Dejimon Seikatsu) is a video game.
Like the Digimon Reference Book, Digimon Life updated with new Digimon profiles every week, usually on Thursdays, in addition to the profiles it copied from the Reference Book. When profile updates were made available, they were mentioned in form of a Digimon's "eye witness report" (目撃情報), which gave a small, brief description about the Digimon in the new entry. The service was terminated at the end of March 2012. Prior to its termination, there were 596 Digimon pages available on Digimon Life.
Overview[edit]
Digimon Life is a location-based mobile phone game in which players can capture Digimon, read their profiles, and view rare artwork for each species. The base game is free to play, although optional downloadable items are available for purchase.
Gameplay[edit]
The game uses the mobile phone's location services to detect the player's current location, time, weather, and season. These factors determine which Digimon appear, allowing players to capture them through a Flash-based minigame.
More than 400 Digimon are featured, including national, regional, and local varieties. Captured Digimon can be collected on the player's Farm, where they can also be viewed alongside their profiles and artwork.
Players can assemble a Digimon Expedition Team by selecting Digimon from their Farm. Expedition Teams can be dispatched to distant regions that the player would not normally be able to visit, allowing them to return with Digimon exclusive to those areas.
Collecting Digimon increases the player's rank. As the player's rank rises, additional gameplay features become available, including the Digimon Expedition Team, while new Digimon are unlocked and begin appearing in the wild.
The Item Shop offers a variety of optional items for both the capture minigame and the Digimon Expedition Team. These include support items that reduce the game's difficulty as well as items that increase the chances of encountering or successfully capturing specific Digimon.
The game was also linked with the Digimon Xros Wars television anime, with newly introduced Digimon being added to the game alongside their appearance in the series.
Additionally, players could scan special two-dimensional barcodes ("AR Codes") included with selected Bandai merchandise using their mobile phones to summon exclusive Digimon into the game.
