Nexomon: Extinction 12+

Better Story then Pokemon

As a casual competitive pokemon player who has been extremely disappointed by Nintendo and GameFreak’s handling of the 3D pokemon games, this game is a breath of fresh air. The story is extremely good compared to anything out if GameFreak. The Nexomons are pretty cool as well. The battle system feels pretty good but I definitely still have a lot to figure out with it. I am very tempted into buying the full version so i can see how the story unfolds.

Even with the free content I am seeing myself going through and training up a bunch of different mons and trying to catch a whatever I don’t have. I am very tempted to get the full version since its only $3 on mobile. There’s a lot to do even with the free content but now I am at the point of deciding whether to spend a little on this game to unlock the full version or moving on to something else. As far as ios creature collecting goes this game is probably the best. EvoCreo isn’t too bad but I had much more fun with Nexomon as the demo for evo creo is way too short.

Good job devs on making such a spectacular game that brings the spirit of old school pokemon but with an actual storyline.

For the devs

Fantastic job Dev’s, I can really say you did a fantastic job moving forward with Nexomon during the first one, now this. I loved the characters, but the one that turned out to be my absolute favorite with no comparison was coco the cat. I laughed a lot, really because he was relatable and I found myself thinking the exact same things as he said, when he said them. He is beyond fantastic and I would LOVE to see another coco in the next Nexomon game, so please add a new coco descendent or similar vibe character to the next game, I just enjoyed him way to much to not see myself in the game without him.

To anyone interested or curious- get the game. You will enjoy it a lot, especially if you want to get away from Pokémon, but still play something *close* to it. Drawing is crazy across the board with different art styles and concepts. Tyrants all had different personalities and it goes to show how some good story-telling will keep someone around. I recommended this to my friend(s), and I do the same to you guys. Worth every penny; Have fun!

Need to be patient

I’ve played most of this developers games from micromon and up. This dudes definitely come a long way. My current issue is how easily the content is to clear, we essentially waited 2+ years for some more detailed backgrounds at the cost of actual content. Nexomon was quite a bit better than extinction currently is. Of course we need to wait for player battles ( even though it’s only a npc of the player)to be released as well as an end game arc. Just like he did in nexomon, with the wardens. ( at least I hope endgame content is in the works). As it stands it feels the developer sacrificed the games foundation for some mediocre polish. The lack of strategy is also a downside, I mean you can quite literally just spam psychic and normal type moves to win 99% of the time. I was able to beat the game with ONLY the psychic starter and had little to no trouble until vados. Then it just became a small lvl grind and use some elixirs when needed. I’m happy to see how this guy and his team have grown, but extinction definitely needs some love in the content department. Would like to see extinction become better.

Response to developer: I wrote this review with 100% completion.

Developer Response ,

Nexomon: Extinction has about 3x times the content than the original Nexomon (depending on how you play). There are side quests in Extinction and you can go anywhere in the world from very early in the game. It is really up to the player how much of that content you want to skip.
