Three friends, Junior, Teddy and Ivy, enter a virtual game called Digimon World 3 , where digital monsters live. A digital terrorist attack traps all players inside the game. The owners of the game, the MAGAMI Corporation, claim there is no major problem and it will be fixed soon. However, not all is as it seems as Junior uncovers secret mysteries about the digimon, the game, and the corporation.
Digimon World 3 features a free roam approach, moving beyond just dungeons and mazes. The game has a turn-based battle system, similar to other RPGs, with random encounters against enemy digimon. During battles, it is one-on-one fighting, allowing players to initially fight with only one digimon at a time. Digimon have various attacks, skills, and digivolutions, enabling them to evolve into stronger forms. The player chooses an initial pack of three digimon but can obtain all nine – plus a bonus digimon – through side-quests.
