Given the short number of similar games, it's always good to see the Nintendo Switch catalogue accepting more proposals of less represented endeavours. In the case of Nexomon: Extinction, it features a laudable amount and variety of creatures, appealing art style, and it's fairly simple to get into. At the same time, it's far from a groundbreaking game, though competent, and it feels like it follows its main inspirations a little too close. That said, it's a welcome arrival for those looking for more creatures to capture and collect.

Nexomon: Extinction could have been a far promising title than it already is. Instead, it relies heavily on the legacy of that other huge monster-capturing franchise, copying names and elements, but not catching up with the gameplay recipe that has been improving for almost twenty-five years.

If you’ve become disillusioned with modern-day Pokemon, then Nexomon is super effective at appealing to your nostalgia. It looks great, the price is stupidly low and while it may feel derivative at times, the quality on display with this capture ‘em all experience is on par with Nintendo’s top-tier offerings.

Pokemon Like qui casse pas 3 pattes a un canard non plus et qui enlève pas mal de mécanique intéressante du jeu dont il s'inspire MAIS -Le jeu ajoute un système de capture qui change de son inspiration -le scénario est osef mais bon dans pokemon c'est pas mieux -les design sont assez cool -ça a été un jeu intéressant a faire a 100%

So many bad design choices I don't even know where to start. I mean I know I shouldn't have to compare it with household name like Pokemon and such, but not even having a freaking map to check where to go and having to goin circles for hours is a pian

Un juego hecho con amor, verdaderamente me sorprendio en dificultad, historia y humor. Los graficos y diseños le dan su toque de identidad, tiene mucho potencial mejorable para la secuela.
Recomendado para un buen fan de pokemon.

Nexomon: Extinction stands out for being a great monster-capturing RPG, with a charming art design, a good story loaded with epic moments and humor, a large number of side missions and a large open world to explore with many secrets to discover.

In many ways, your interest in a monster-catching game is driven by whether one focuses on aspects you particularly like. Like competitive play? Or meticulously customizing creatures? But Nexomon: Extinction puts its best foot forward, delivering the most polished version of itself it can offer. And often, polish is what many players miss when exploring outside Pokémon’s safe, well-padded confines.

There is a ton of content in the game’s 20+ hour main story campaign, which is equally as impressive considering its price point of under $20. With its vibrant world, unique narrative, and expansive Nexopedia (that is going to keep me busy for a while), Nexomon: Extinction is, in fact, a successful return to classic monster-catching games.

Nexomon: Extinction is clearly inspired by Pokémon from top to bottom. While they change up a few mechanics and make some definite improvements here and there, not enough is done to consider this among the elite of the monster-catching RPGs. An interesting title to spend some time in for the right price, Nexomon: Extinction will be something the Pokémon hardcore will want to check out, while everyone else might just want to find a Game Boy and their copy of Blue version.

Nexomon: Extinction does enough to make it somewhat distinct, but the unique elements can also be its undoing. It mostly succeeds in being a more deliberate and challenging take on Pokémon, but that difficulty can oftentimes come across as exhausting and artificial. If you felt let down by Sword and Shield there may be aspects of Nexomon you really enjoy, but we can't help but feel that the slow pace of battles and lack of multiplayer features prevent it from being a true rival; it's really more like a cheap alternative, but one that's arguably worth a look if you're a hardcore fan of Game Freak's famous franchise.

Nexomon: Extinction has its own character despite being a Pokémon clone and that is a compliment. It’s very hard to build upon such a successful franchise without getting the “rip-off” label or giving the players the “been there done that”-feeling. The developers implemented some fresh ideas which, in my opinion, Pokémon could learn from. PROS - Original story - Lots of (sarcastic) humor - Beautiful 2D art - Interactive open world CONS - High level of difficulty - Outdated controls - Lack of cool looking Nexomon

From what I’ve seen from gameplay to trailers it looks like a complete nock off of black and white. Even the healing centres look the same! It’s just unfair that there are games and people like this who ride on others success. And people promote it with good ratings! And the scummy game managed to get on the switch which I have to give it to them that takes guts but it’s been hiding in the shadows for too long and it’s biggest mistake it’s made is exposing itself to the world. This is my opinion and review Thank you!

The game starts of with some funny dialogue, some intro as to how to catch the Nexomon. I IMMEDIATLY noticed the capture system is way too flawed and has too many variables to begin to enjoy it. There is nowhere to heal your Nexomon and the potions are expensive, the capture thingies are aWay too expensive and the first trainer beat my ass what for me was enough to uninstall and refund. Not enjoyable at all. 2/10 for art style but seriously, just play Pokémon, this is not worth your time at all.
SummaryNexomon: Extinction is a return to classic monster catching games, complete with a brand new story, eccentric characters and over 300 unique Nexomon to trap and tame. The world is on the brink of extinction as mighty Tyrant Nexomon fight for dominion over humans and monsters. Join the guild of tamers and begin an epic journey to restore ... Read More
