![]() This makes the catch more involving and is an addition that feels quite fun and very addictive. Of course, these aren’t new mechanics but what is new is engaging in the prompted button presses during the animation for the capture. For example, with capturing monsters, you are able to alter your percentage chance of catching that elusive Nexomon by throwing food and different trap types. To trap them is my real test…Įverything great you remember about those games is in this game but with enough changes to make it feel unique. It’s a very funny script and one that would actually translate very well to a tv show or at least a properly voice-acted game experience. Coco is a brilliantly funny character with jokes that land exceptionally more often than not. Much of the humour comes from the companion you travel with, a talking cat known as Coco. The game has some very witty and self-aware jokes that break the fourth wall. The tyrants especially are very imposing figures and deserve their status as legendary monsters. ![]() The monster designs are actually very different and often feel more imaginative and interesting than those it is inspired by. ![]() ![]() The expectation going into it is to see a bunch of monsters that are almost direct rip-offs: i.e an electric mouse or a fire dog but it’s actually nothing like that at all. The thing that impresses the most about Nexomon: Extinction is that it manages to be inspired by those older games but also be completely unique in its own right. It’s a very pretty game that feels alive as you explore it. The characters you come across on your journey all look like they’ve been ripped out of the pages of an anime illustrators’ workbook, each as unique as the last. The animations of trees and grass, to the move sets within battles all look fantastic. Nexomon: Extinction feels very much like the older games in the genre but with its own art-style. Rather than gym badges, in this you must increase your rank within the guild and rise up to become the hero the world needs. So where does the player come in? Our hero is part of a guild of monster tamers that have the responsibility to face these huge monsters and protect the world from them. These monsters are trying to prove themselves as the successor to the almighty Nexomon known as Omnicron but in the chaos of this civil war humans and monsters alike face extinction. The more powerful of these monsters are known as tyrants and are usually dragons. With a wonderfully animated introduction, the player learns that the world is inhabited by Nexomon that are all fighting to be the king of monsters. Despite this being a sequel to a mobile and PC game, you don’t need any prior knowledge at all as it starts with a fresh story to sink into. Though it must be pointed out that all of the monsters are available within the first few hours, they aren’t locked out.Ī pleasant surprise is just how much more focused the plot is in Nexomon: Extinction compared to other monster catching games. In Nexomon: Extinction there is a choice of 9 starter monsters making that decision even tougher. Remember how choosing a starter monster in previous games was the hardest decision ever? That was between 3 types. From there, the hero wakes up in the orphanage that they’ve grown up in on a very big day, it’s time to get their first Nexomon. When the game starts, the player is asked to choose from a set of character bodies and to name the playable hero. Should you abandon those other two big-hitters in the genre though? I Don’t Want To Be The Very Best? Yet for the most part, Nexomon: Extinction actually proves the opposite, providing a refreshing take on this 20 year-old premise and stands out as a game that deserves your attention. In a time where there are so many RPGs available where the goal is to catch monsters and raise them up to be world beaters, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the genre didn’t need another one.
