![]() No more vague description like the ones you’d find in pokemon. Sure is nice to be well-informed, huh?Ī similar improvement is that move descriptions give you an actual percentage of accuracy/effect/critical chance and speed modifier. Nexomons can be captured just fine regardless although it may take a couple more Nexotraps to get the job done. The capture QTEs and feeding mechanics can be ignored if you find them to be tedious. However, the addition to the formula is that Nexomons can be fed and all influencing factors will show you in exact numbers how much they are affecting the percentage. In addition to this, you can also see the percentage of how likely the Nexomons will be caught if the attempt is made which can be influenced by various factors share with the Pokemon series. You will be prompted with a QTE circle made of buttons that, if executed perfectly, will improve your odds of capture. In Nexomon: Extinction, the Nexomons can be captured when a Nexotrap, triangle-shaped Pokeball, is thrown at them. Well, that’s not a usable catchphrase for Pokemon anymore, I suppose. It not a monster-catching game without the ability to catch ’em all. Not Red, Minor Improvements That Go a Long Way They are usually not restricted by Pokemon’s Hidden Machines style story locked abilities. This is great news as Nexomon: Extinction offers a greater level of freedom to explore places not currently relevant to the main quest. The scaling makes it so that you won’t wander into an area where you are severely out-leveled so exploration is encouraged. The same also applies to the Nexomons of defeated tamers that become battle-ready again over time. In all areas, including parts that I am revisiting, they are often within a similar range of my entire party. To what degree, I cannot say for certain. An interesting thing to mention is that both the levels of wild Nexomons scale with you. This means that you can choose whether or not to fight wild Nexomons at your own pace. They can only be fought if you walk into rustling grass save for some really specific areas. Nexomons can be encountered in the wild but unlike its source of inspiration, it’s not a random encounter. ![]() Although I must confess I am not a big fan of the anime eyes on a top-down chibi character but that’s just me. The world of Nexomon: Extinction is vibrant and filled with colorful characters. My kind of humor □ Exploring Nexomon: Extinction I cannot attest to the original Nexomon but I can say with certainty that the story of Nexomon: Extinction is like a breath of fresh air and its strongest asset. Alternate serious moments, 4th wall jokes, and occasional jabs at the dubious premise of what a J/RPG game entails and you get something special. Can you imagine Nintendo or GameFreaks letting something like that fly in Pokemon? Not in a million years. “I harbor no Nexomon slaves” is a direct quote example that is said by one of the characters in this game. Nexomon: Extinction also touches or allude to some of the heavier subjects. Unexpected? Get used to it! The game likes to play with your expectations and it’s quite effective! What he said. The plot resembles more of a fantasy JRPG rather than a typical Pokemon. ![]() You are one of the orphans recruited to become a guild tamer to join the guild’s effort to prevent and stop the spreading damage of this war. Humanity and our civilization being collateral damage. The gist of it without any major spoilers is that in a world where Omnicron (no relation to Transformers!), the king of Nexomons has died, its children wage war against one another to become a new king. If there’s anything that Nexomon: Extinction has over Pokemon, it’s the story. The Nexomons are animated but obviously that can’t be conveyed with a screenshot. ![]() As such, one can expect many of the main elements of Pokemon to be present. No surprise there considering that said series is the main inspiration that Nexomon builds its core gameplay on. ![]() Nexomon: Extinction shares many similarities with the Pokemon series as a whole. Nexomons can be encountered in the wild, and they are also captured and trained by tamers to battle. The franchise is so big that it is impossible to avoid all the leaks unless you go on a complete media blackout…but back to Nexomons. This is something that has been lost from the mainline Pokemon these days. The best thing to look forward to in this type of game is still that feeling of anticipation of encountering the monsters and their evolutions for the first time. As you have already guessed, Nexomons are equivalent to, well, Pokemon’s Pokemons. ![]()
