I’ve been enjoying Nexomon- Extinction so far, it’s a sassy game that’s quite fun to play! The game mechanics work as intended and there were only a few things which I questioned before an NPC provided an answer. Leveling up my Nexomon seems like a potential slog though, I’ve gotten used to experience sharing in Pokémon games; I must unlearn this behavior. There are cores which can act like an Exp Share, which is nice because there are two party members that don’t need to hog a large chunk of experience! I’ve been juggling those cores around to passively level up Nexomon which were behind in levels while using stronger creatures to tank damage.

I appreciate the game’s aesthetics because it reminds me of older Pokémon games, while remaining unique. The setting matches up with the desperate situation this world is currently in as there are settlements and camps throughout the land outside of their one big city. Humanity seems to be close to potential extinction. Nexomon Tamers are responsible for desperately keeping the wild Nexomon at bay so others can labor on in safer surroundings. I’m going to keep playing today and get further in! As the need to know what happens next is strong, I felt that similarly with Coromon too.

    Finished and totally agree, Nexomon Extinction for PC is a well designed catch-em all game with good graphics, monsters, mechanics and a kinda entertaining story.

      @DNU I’m close to finishing the game myself, Nexomon- Extinction has been a solid adventure! I have a higher opinion of the story only because the satire really vibes well with me!

        Well, tbh I think the story of the game was pretty good, though it’s nothing I still remember. It’s been some time since I finished the game.

          @DNU There are games I have fond memories of, but my memory of specific events is all but gone. I usually remember themes more than story details (especially for games I played years ago). I understand your lack of memory associated with Nexomon- Extinction.
