Whoa, what a game! I usually stay away from indie developer's games, but more I informed about the game and more I read wonderful things about it... I wasn't believing them but after I played it I had to admit everything: this game is a solid monster collector rpg, with a great plot, great characters and above all, a great sense of humour... The game has obviously its flaws that in this case are the frequent crashing problem for the Switch version and the human characters aesthetics a bit too similar to the chibi style that roams among mobile games... In facts this is only the third game in a series started on smartphones but don't worry, this game is cleaned by all those pay to win horrid mechanics. You fight, you earn coins; spend coins for items and traps and capture other monsters... No micro transactions, no waiting times, no automised battles: this is a pure taming rpg. Gameplay wise it has an open world map filled with sideways, quests, secrets and shards to collect in order to crafting items useful for strengthening your monsters. Each Nexomon can learn up to four moves like Pokemon, you can carry up to six Nexomon like Pokemon and wild Nexomon are encountered in the tall grass like Pokemon... But these are the only similarities with that franchise. The usual approach that a player takes regarding the battle system is more similar to those taken when playing a Digimon Story game: a limited bunch of moves shared almost to every Nexomon of the same type (that for instance are only nine: Physical, Nature, Fire, Water, Wind, Mineral, Thunder, Mind and Ghost), so the only real difference that brings the player to choose one Nexomon or the other is simply the personal taste regarding the design of that creature. There are some minor differences obviously, but with the sole exception of Legendary beasts that are stronger than the average and few curiously weak One-Staged Nexomon you can choose a Fire Nexomon or another almost without repercussions. As I already said the map has an open world aspect with a bit of 2D Zelda games' progression: when you learn a new "spell" you can access to new areas before closed. This makes the world much more enjoyable to explore and rewarding when you (at the end of a cave) find a Vault with valuable treasures at its inside. The story is long, interesting and more important funny to play... If you don't rush it takes 30-40 hours to complete, without considering post game stuffs as quests and the completion of the database of all the Nexomon. For only 20€/$ it's one of the highest quality/price rate game on the market. I can only advise you to give it a chance and play it: you'll never regret it.

I awaited giving to this game a vote because I thought they would gonna patch its issues but no, the game was and it's still a total mess nowadays. Technically is an abomination: the animations are the same of the 3DS games (that were already bad) but for an unknown reason they don't work propery
