This means that you need to plan out your strategy quite well, and you’ll probably go back to regenerate and heal your Nexomon a lot. Much more comparable, I’d say, with DS-era Pokémon games, rather than contemporaries.Īlso, instead of PP depleting when using moves, you get a single stamina bar which depletes at different rates depending on which move you use. First off, the difficulty is much higher than what modern players might be used to. Elemental strength and weaknesses, turn-based battles, items, and more, are all ripped right from the Pokémon handbook.īut many things are different. The battle mechanics in Nexomon: Extinctionare similar to those found in Game Freak’s legendary (he) franchise. Not all monster designs are memorable, but pound for pound, I’d play Nexomon before I play Sword/Shield many, many times over. It does so with incredibly beautiful hand-drawn illustrations which, when compared to the “official” offerings, look three generations ahead. Nexomon: Extinction carries no baggage, which means it can approach its presentation however it pleases. The hand-drawn illustrations are beautiful.

There is no true evolution (ha) in the Pokémon graphical experience since, I’d argue, the GBA-to-DS transition. Quite simply, every time I look at the new Pokémon games, I feel like I’m looking at some fan-made Black/White HD Remaster. No more DS-looking Sprites and Environments Why do I prefer the copy? Let me tell you. No small feat, considering I used to be a competitive Pokémon player. But hear me out: in many, many ways, I prefer this approach to what Game Freak has been doing for the past few years.
