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.

    If indeed the PC version is not free-to-play (which, judging by what you’ve said, seems to be the case), I am definitely intrigued.

    Also, I…think perhaps I mis-worded myself. I was not trying to insult you or your taste in games. I apologize if I came across that way.

      @EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted Its fine, sometimes people don’t understand one another initially. I’m verbose in my replies so that might have also been a cause of said misunderstanding.

      Yeah, Nexomon-Extinction for its price point is surprisingly free of the garbage that plagues mobile games! It shocked me as well and I found it hard to process at first. You’ll have fun with this game because it challenges those who have been starved of challenge by Pokémon games! The Nexomon designs are intriguing, I’d love to pick their brains on where their inspiration comes from.
