Nexomon: Extinction has battles akin to Pokemon, but with single-type Nexomon. Without revealing too much, I can say it was the most interesting and exciting portion of the game. It is only after Lydia herself reveals the secret of their alliance does the story ramp up the adventure. Eurus, when first met, seems to be placid - preferring to sleep all day. Lydia, handler of Eurus (Tyrant of Wind) is a Guild ally, despite owning a Tyrant herself.
I quite enjoyed the process of all of this, and under the Guild’s tutelage, I defeated both these Tyrants and their handlers, known as Renegades. Nexomon: Extinction introduces these Tyrants, which are strong Nexomon vying for the vacant throne of King Omnicron, the previous villain of the original Nexomon game. You’ll get your starter soon after, before embarking on a journey to hatch a Tyrant Egg - said to contain a powerful Nexomon. Right away the influences of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - a game where you play as a human turned Pokemon and form a guild of your own - are incredibly apparent. Shortly after that you’ll find yourself inside an orphanage, where you’ll quickly find yourself enlisting with the Guild to become a Nexomon Tamer. Starting off in Nexomon: Extinction, you’re immediately thrown into the chaos of a sinking airship - here’s where you set your name and avatar look. Safe to say I enjoyed this monster-catching game immensely, and as a longtime Pokemon fan ( check out my Sword review) I loved this different take on a popular mechanic and series. As the new Pokemon Sword & Shield DLC - The Crown Tundra hits 22 October 2020, I decided to try out Nexomon: Extinction.
