It just goes to show that the EXP grind is slow. This made progress much smoother and made it easier to keep my entire team at a balanced level. However, many of my grips are fixed after about five hours because you end up collecting enough minerals that allow you to create EXP boosters and power level up your Nexomon. However, they seem to want to battle again after 20 minutes, and they come back with much stronger Nexomon, which you may not be prepared for. Slowly, you’ll inch your way to where you need to go, but I ended up avoiding as many encounters along the way.Īlso, if you fight trainers in the wild, they will want to fight again, which I thought was a cool feature. It forces you to battle a Nexomon, then go back to a healing station, then go fight a trainer, then go back to the healing station, then fight the next trainer, and so on. This happens dozens of times within the first few hours of gameplay. I ended up getting annoyed by the fact that if I battled a few Nexomon and then initiated a fight with a trainer without healing up, eight times out 10, I would die. The game also tries to get you to carry a large stock of items with you to heal up after each encounter. I found it tough even to justify catching a level 6 Nexomon unless I was going to spend time leveling it up because I could easily find a level 12 version of it if I just waited. This introduces another issue, though, you see, the level of the Nexomon scales with the level of your party, which forces you to keep your entire early team’s level balanced. I died many times on route to the first few destinations, which brought the entire experience to a halt as I had to put time into leveling up the party that I had in hopes of getting stronger. As epic as the story is, the game is just too difficult in its opening moments. There’s one glaring issue with the opening of Nexomon. It makes the battle itself more engaging, and I never got tired of pressing the buttons. Further, there are traps that work better against specific elements. It makes some battles take way too long at times, but it also encourages you to have items that can negate these effects.Ĭatching Nexomon has its own quirks where players will need to make button presses that increase the odds of capturing a creature. I was Frozen once for five turns, while an enemy was frozen for one. There are status effects in the game too, but I felt that some of them just lasted way too long. Everything you need to know about the battle is on the screen, and you don’t have to go through many menus to look for anything. This makes battles visually easy to understand and read. Each attack exhausts Stamina, and if this runs out, your Nexomon becomes “Tired” and loses a turn to regain 10 ST.
It makes fights feel less random and gives you some level of control if you’re trying to get somewhere quickly.īattles are turn-based, where players will choose from four attacks. Something I loved about the game is that you can actually see the grass moving and coming into contact with that will start the battle. However, there’s undoubtedly a meta here when it comes to creating an unbeatable group.īattles are initiated in the grassy areas. During my time playing, I pretty much just based my party around who I thought was cute or not. It was interesting getting to know and understand an entirely new group of Monsters. In short, there are 381 Nexomon in the game, which means each encounter during the first 5 hours of gameplay will more or less be a Nexomon that you don’t have. When you begin, you become a tamer and receive your very first Nexomon however, the game quickly gives you access to many new partners to collect and add to your party. The actual adventure portion of Nexomon has players making their way through the world and turning on warp points to get around quicker. Still, the dialogue takes on some epic scenarios that don’t feel out of place even with a humorous approach. It’s incredibly charming to the point where you want to read each interaction just to catch these comedic exchanges. On top of that, the writing offers players some hilarious and almost overly witty moments of dialogue. The story has some pretty adult themes as you progress through the narrative. This is where you come in as you set out on a journey of discovery to learn more about the hidden war and the secrets of the Nexomon. The Nexomon begin to fight for who will become the leader and only one of these Nexomon is prophesied to be peaceful. Years later, the Nexomon have become tame for the most part, but peace doesn’t last too long. Nexomon: Extinction introduces players to a world that has survived a devastating war against a raging Tyrant Nexomon.
