![]() ![]() There are also some NPCs that will offer you side quests, but, unfortunately, a vast majority of these quests boil down to just trading items to them in exchange for other items. It got to a point where I wished I could have put his ass in the box with all my unused Nexomon. It really started to grate on me quickly though, as he just continued to crack the same jokes throughout the entire game. This self-referential humor was not particularly funny, but it also didn’t bother me in the beginning. He’s sarcastic all the time and seems to be one of the few characters aware that they’re in a video game. One of the biggest culprits of this is your little buddy, Coco. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that a lot of them are just downright assholes. On the topic of the dialogue, most of the characters come off as unlikable. Eventually I got to the point where I was speeding through non-story dialogue just to see if a character was going to give me an item or not. There are so many people to talk to and most of them say things that are far too similar. I couldn’t help feeling a bit of joy nearly the entire time I was playing.Įach area will also be filled with tons of NPCs, perhaps a few too many at times. ![]() Each area is bright and colorful in its own way and that’s one of Extinction‘s best qualities its aesthetic is very inviting. Once you’re given your task, you’ll venture out and visit a variety of locations. The story is decent enough, with some twists and turns, but it’s probably not going to blow your socks off or anything. This war has taken its toll on both the human and Nexomon populations and you’ll be tasked with finding a way to end it. From here you’ll begin your quest to the city of Parum, where you’ll join the Tamer’s Guild and learn that powerful Nexomon, called Tyrants, are waging war and have been for a thousand years. This first encounter isn’t a normal one though, and the powerful dragon will make short work of you and your Nexomon until you’re able to escape away into a nearby cave. If you’re familiar with Pokémon’s battle mechanics, you should do just fine making your way through Extinction because they are very similar. You can also use any items you may have, switch to different Nexomon in your party (when you have more), and, in some cases, choose to flee from battle if you’re not prepared to fight. If they run out of stamina, they won’t be able to attack and will have to rest for a turn or two. Each skill will deplete that creature’s stamina by a set amount depending on the move. Normally, you’ll be able to pick one of your Nexomon’s skills, which will either deal damage, apply a buff to your Nexomon, or debuff the enemy. I eventually chose the ghost-type, Behilda, as that’s always been one of my favorite types and honestly, because I thought it had the coolest design.Īfter choosing your starter, you’ll go to battle with the dragon and quickly learn the basics of the game’s turn-based combat. Getting this much choice right out of the gate was a nice change from Pokémon, but also made for a really tough decision as a newcomer to this series. You’ll have a choice between nine (!) different creatures, each with a different elemental typing. Faced with your own mortality, a stranger appears from nowhere and offers you your first Nexomon. At your side will be a cat-like creature, named Coco, that will do the talking for you because your character is more of a silent protagonist.Īs you and Coco travel deeper into the forest, you are suddenly attacked by a dragon. The first step in that journey sees you venturing into the forest to find your first Nexomon. Soon you’ll be informed that it’s a big day as you and a group of other kids will soon set out to become tamers. After you decide what character model you’ll be looking at throughout the game, you’ll find yourself waking up in the orphanage you grew up in. So, there’s no customization, but there is a decent variety of default looks. The real question is, can any game truly fill the shoes or live up to the heavyweight that is Pokémon? Well, I’m ready to find out.Īs Nexomon: Extinction begins, you’ll get to choose from a handful of predetermined looks for your character. I’m a big Pokémon fan and I’ve exhausted nearly all the content that the franchise has to offer, so I thought I’d branch out and try some other monster capturing games. Nexomon: Extinction is a game I’ve been planning on playing for a while now. ![]() Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Nintendo Switch, Android, Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, Mac, and iOS ![]()
