    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.The game starts of with some funny dialogue, some intro as to how to catch the Nexomon.

Not enjoyable at all. 2/10 for art style but seriously, just play Pokémon, this is not worth your time at all.… Expand

    Would recommend skipping this monter tamer, they don't know what makes these types of games actually fun...

    Doesn't have the charm a monster taming game should have. I had no fun exploring. Was constantly thrown of by 4th wall breaking in literally EVERY cutscene... How is that fun. Battles were boring since there is no strategy, every move just simply damages the opponent, so just    Would recommend skipping this monter tamer, they don't know what makes these types of games actually fun...

    Level scaling doesn't work at all and resulted in an infinite grind fest.    … Expand

    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!… Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.
