![]() ![]() ![]() Stronger, or more complex moves typically cost more to use, meaning your ‘mon won’t be able to stay in the fight for very long. Each move a Nexomon uses costs Stamina (enemies included!). Nexomon also boasts a stamina gauge, which is one of its most interesting and unique features. It’s an intricate game of ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’, only there are significantly more options to your disposal. Throwing a water attack onto a fire-crab is probably a good idea, whilst setting fire to that same crab, probably won’t get you anywhere anytime soon. Actions are typically attacks, but also includes using items, swapping Nexomon mid-battle, and even running away if things go awry.Įach Nexomon has a type, which comes with inherent strengths and weaknesses against other types of Nexomon. Battles are turn-based, with each turn consisting of one action. Within these mysterious shrubs, you will find wild Nexomon, ready to be beaten to near death and forced into your eternal servitude – probably via science. As you wander the world you will see your fair share of suspiciously long grass. The core of Nexomon: Extinction is it’s battle and trap system. Sure there is a world-wide crisis the likes of which we’ve never seen, a giant war between city-destroying Nexomon known as Tyrants and it seems pretty evident by the way some NPC’s talk, that you may be apart of the end-times, but for the most part, you will just be trundling along your merry way doing the usual Monster Taming stuff you’ve come to expect by this point. Things calm down pretty quickly after this, and you are given some basic instructions and let loose on the world of Nexomon. Just as you’re about to get into your tried and tested starter-mon stride, you are visited by a ghost, attacked by a dragon, forcibly given a Nexomon, pushed into battling the aforementioned dragon, defeated and given a brief tutorial by the spirit of a long-dead, yet modernly dressed, ghost-tamer. After conversing with a bunch of people you will never see again – and a few that you will – you set off to find your first Nexomon. You play as a customisably-named, customisably-faced young go-getter who has graduated from their Orphanage with an A+ in age. That hasn’t stopped Nexomon: Extinction from trying, however. Many have tried to capture this formula (pun intended), but few have managed to attract a following quite like Pokemon. There has always been something magical about finding whacky new travelling companions, training them up and watching them evolve into even crazier versions of themselves. My opinion is based on my experience with the Xbox One version of the game.Įver since the dual launch of Pokemon Red and Blue way back in 1996, gamers young and old far and wide, have been enamoured with the ‘Monster Taming’ sub-genre of (J)RPGs. This will have no bearing on my review, opinion or recommendation. The game is being promised as "a return to classic monster catching games," which seemingly is a shot at Pokemon and the more recent titles in the iconic series that aren't quite in-keeping with the original classic Gameboy titles.Review code graciously provided by PQube Games. Vewo Interactive confirmed that the game will feature a "colorful cast" and "over 300 Nexomon to catch." In a move that will please Pokémon fans who don't own a Switch, Nexomon: Extinction will be coming to not just the Switch, but also PS4, Xbox One and Steam. The original announcement for the game indicated that it would be released on the Nintendo Switch at some point this year (this was back in January) and although we don't yet have an official date 'Summer' is at least narrows the timeframe. ![]() Nexomon: Extinction is a new title from developer Vewo Interactive and is slated for release this Summer. A potential rival to the behemoth that is Pokémon will be released this Summer. ![]()
