The story revolves around generally the same elements the key difference is effort. This is why I say that Nexomon Extinction isn’t terribly original. It’s not just there because they need to have a context for you traveling around the continent collecting monsters. From Generation Three onward, it has been about the end of the world if the bad guys aren’t stopped – I know I’m oversimplifying, but you get the idea. It’s just something they like to tack on to your quest to get all the badges and become the league champion.

Pokemon knew that despite their target audience growing up and getting older, they didn’t have to ship their games with a compelling story, or put any effort into telling that story throughout the game. But there is plenty of effort, and I appreciate that. It’s not terribly original – there is a calamity, there are otherworldly big bads, you are chosen to forge a team to destroy all the big bads and save the universe like only a protagonist can. I will say that Nexomon Extinction puts infinitely more effort into telling a story than any mainline Pokemon game in the history of the series. Now that you have all the context and exposition about the game that you need, or are likely to get from me, let’s talk about what the game tries to do that will set it apart from other games in the genre, what it has in common, and whether any of those are done well. Nexomon Extinction is out now for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and Steam! So, don’t worry about getting a watered-down version if you want to play the game on the go. I didn’t notice any dramatic frame drops, nor were there really any other performance issues like tearing, or painful textures, in comparison to other versions of the game. Nexomon Extinction is currently $30.00 AUD on the Nintendo eShop, and the game plays pretty well on the console, even in handheld mode. But since I’ve played through its key competitors whilst using the Switch, this review is going to be based on that version of the game. The game is available on Steam, the Playstation 4, the Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch. The game boasts over 300 monsters and critters to catch, raise, and evolve, and tries to break the mold a little with their gameplay, featuring an open-world style adventure focusing on story and side-quests. It probably doesn’t take too much figuring out that a video game with a “mon” in the name is a monster-capture role-playing game.

I cannot play Coromon in full as it does not come out until next year.Īs such, I’m working my way through Coromon substitutes and today we’re going to look at the Nintendo Switch version of Nexomon: Extinction.
