To welcome newcomers unfamiliar with the franchise's notoriously punishing raising and battle mechanics, the developers introduced a "Beginner Mode." This mode adjusts the damage dealt and received, making it significantly harder for your Digimon partners to die. It serves as an on-ramp, allowing players to experience the full breadth of the adventure without the steep learning curve of the original titles.
