The core gameplay differs from traditional fighters by replacing health bars with a "D-Spirit" collection system. When players land hits, the opponent drops orbs (D-Spirits); the winner is determined by who has collected the most spirits by the end of the round. Characters can "Matrix Evolve" into their Mega forms mid-battle to gain a temporary power boost.

It was exclusive to the WonderSwan Color, Bandai’s Japan-only handheld system. While the Game Boy Advance version (which was simply titled Digimon Battle Spirit ) was a port of the original Ver. 1.0, the WonderSwan received this superior, expanded version.
