![]() It’s clever writing and it’s quite humourous, and yet it somehow doesn’t detract from the game’s more serious moments.Īlso, it’s worth saying that the visuals are perfect. I can respect and even admire this – no doubt this was on a tight budget, and rather than throw a lot of one-note characters at you (the way that Pokemon has) the game gives you Coco who just points out the absurdity of it all and just how bad it really is. ![]() To make up for making you a silent protagonist the game gives you Coco, a talking cat who throws shade at you, everyone else, the tropes the plot relies on, and even the writers, at every opportunity. It’s not great, but it is definitely above average, and what really sells it is the dialogue. The main reason I say this is because Extinction has a narrative, and it’s GOOD. If we had gotten THIS instead of the trash they served us up with SnS, I guarantee everyone would have been much happier. It’s what the fans like to pretend Generation V is, and what the delusional like to pretend Generation VIII is. The short version of this is that Nexomon: Extinction is what SHOULD have been released by Game Freak instead of Pokemon Sword and Shield. Yes, you read that right.Īnyway, let’s talk about Nexomon. I harbour no delusions that Pokemon owns the monster-catching genre, or that the genre even originated with it (that dubious honour actually belongs to Dragon Quest V, a fact that the Pokemon fandom would do well to remember whenever the word “Pokeclone” escapes their collective lips…) but I will acknowledge that it is very difficult for any franchise to compete with it…even if there hasn’t been a good Pokemon game since Platinum. Like what I imagine to be the vast majority of milennials who still play video games – and a fair few who don’t, or even those who never did – I grew up with Pokemon. There's still no solid Nexomon Extinction release date yet, but stay tuned to GameSkinny for more Nexomon Extinction news as it heads our way.At the time of writing this, I am 30 years old. It's a Water Nexomon too and starts out looking like a wannabe pirate gator called Cruff before evolving into it's final, definitely-a-pirate form called Domigator. ![]() One standout Nexomon for the Frozen Tundra region is Cruff. There are plenty of Water Nexomon capable of turning their opponents to ice, and a location called the Cursed Tower that's somehow able to attract more wild Nexomon than usual. It's also a very dangerous area, one the Guild won't let tamers into unless they're sufficiently experienced. Frozen Tundraįinally is the Frozen Tundra, and it should come as no surprise this is an icy region. This one uses its steel head to attack foes and will evolve into Rustung eventually. On the way, you'll possibly run into Rust, an Uncommon Nexomon. Other must-see sites include massive fossils of ancient Nexomon and Lateria, a desert fortress you'll be making your way to during your journey. Solus is a desert region in Nexomon Extinction, full of Mineral Nexomon, mines to explore, and bandits to hopefully not get caught by. It's a Mega Rare Nexomon that eventually evolves into Felclaw. And you might find the lil' critter shown to the right, Nekpanchi the Fire Nexomon. On the bright side, you can upgrade your axe there, which is good for mining elemental shards. It's a city built at the bottom of a volcano, but rather than New Ignitia being safe and isolated because of that, it's actually vulnerable to Tyrant Nexomon attacks. ![]() First up is New Ignitia, the fire region. ![]()
