Better than Extinction
So. Unlike most people. I played Nexomon 2 first before playing Nexomon 1. I’d like to say that certain things were improved in the 2nd one but other things were simplified when they shouldn’t have been. I prefer the story in Nexomon 2 over the story in this one. However. Both of them are actually very good. Having gone from the 2nd to the 1st. I don’t understand the simplification of battle mechanics. In this one no one element is set to learn only that element’s abilities. In fact. As soon as I started I realized one of my grass Nexomon had a wind ability and could wipe out other grass types. However in the 2nd you can only learn normal/ your element based moves. I also enjoyed the dialogue a lot more in this one. The 2nd was toned down for a younger audience. For some reason. Maybe to sell more copies? While this one had much more edge and charisma. And a much more adult themed ambiance. Much better in my opinion. Anyway. The monster designs in this one were pretty epic. And unlike the 2nd one the difficulty does ramp up significantly later on if you’re not prepared. Ziegler is a force to be reckoned with. I also enjoyed the ability to equip abilities whenever you like. Unlike the 2nd one where you have to buy and replace your current abilities to learn/ relearn another. Overall. After 44 hours of gameplay. I’d give Nexomon 1 an 8/10. And I’d highly recommend both to anyone looking to play a very well designed monster catcher. Here’s to you Nexomon 3. Whenever you release. And. Thank you developers. Keep up the good work.
