The mechanics of the game are also more like a traditional RPG than your modern monster collection game. While the story itself is dark and grim, the constant comments on standard RPG tropes as well as the frequent breaking of the fourth wall lift the mood and make you laugh (or groan if that is your disposition towards this kind of humour). Solving all those quests and saving humanity is your objective. To loosen things up and give you deeper insights into the world of Nexomon and its characters, an abundant number of side quests has been prepared for your perusal.  Your journey is structured like a traditional RPG with a main quest line for story progression. But be careful! Not everything is as it seems at first. It’s up to you to carve out a future for us. These powerful monsters are called Tyrants and have already driven humans to the brink of extinction. Choosing your Nexomon partner for life is important, because there are nine different starters, one for each element: normal, fire, water, plant, mineral, wind, electric, psychic and ghost.ĭecision made, you are now officially a tamer of the guild, only to realize that humanity is caught in the midst of a war where mighty Nexomon are fighting for power. You’ll receive your first Nexomon in a botched ceremony and venture forth. I’m simply not one of them, so I won’t be swayed from the path of the righteous review.Īfter watching a grim and foreshadowing introduction, you start your journey by leaving the orphanage you grew up in. For sure, this brand new monster catching game will elicit feelings of nostalgia in those who did. Looking at screenshots of those games, which I never actually played, I can agree with that. I was told that Nexomon: Extinction draws on the artstyle of earlier generation Pokémon games.
