There is a crazy amount of nexomon in this game for you to find, fight, capture, and train. Okay so the story is good, there are cool characters and an interesting world. The world and the people in it just feel so alive, which is once again not something I am used to from Pokémon games where everything feels so robotic in comparison. NPCs in towns will often move around, they will throw you out if you enter their house unannounced, they will give you sidequests, they might tell you about their problems if you talk to them, their dialogue might change as you progress through the story, when you move around the world you leave behind little clouds of dust. Just listen to this music from the Asian-inspired drake isles. There are varying biomes from lush forests, big cities, dry deserts, floating islands, tropical beaches, haunted woods, and even volcanic landscapes for you to explore.Įvery zone has its own beautiful soundtrack. Some of it is genuinely funny, while most of it is just annoying in my opinion.Īll these characters reside in a very beautiful world. You have a sidekick called Coco that accompanies you through most of your journey and he cracks a joke almost every time he opens his mouth. There are some comedy relief characters as well though, and these are very hit or miss for me.

Alive, I guess? They are actually real characters with personalities, which is something I am not used to from Pokémon games at all. The characters also help make the story as memorable and interesting as it is. More on that later.Įvery major event had me even more excited to see what would happen next, and there were a few twists and turns I could not predict. Sure, it might start off very generic with you being an orphan that has finally come of age to become a nexomon tamer that can now go to the nearby forest to capture your very first nexomon.Īnd then something very wacky and uncharacteristic happens but I’ll let you panic over that yourselfīut it doesn’t take long before the story pulls you in as you try to climb the ranks of the guild you are in and uncover secrets and lore about the interesting world that you find yourself in. The story in this game is very captivating and interesting.

(Or you could take a really short peek at the TLDR at the bottom) How did this happen? How did an indie company beat Game Freak at their own game? Let’s take a look. But truth be told, even though Pokémon is so nostalgic to me due to me growing up with it, I must admit that I prefer Nexomon.

If you are anything like me, you played Pokémon games in your childhood but never tried any other monster collector games.
