In many ways, this game can be seen as simplified Pokemon. Normally, that wouldn't be a bad thing, but there is such a thing as too simplified. Unlike Pokemons, Nexomons have no IVs, EVs, natures, or passive abilities, meaning there is absolutely no variation between two members of the same species - once you've caught one Nexomon, there is zero reason to catch another one of the same type (unless you want several …

I really like it. combat is as easy as the one from the big N, but they added a simple crafting system, a bit of a darker story and some good jokes. If you like monstertamer games this one is yours. I'm looking forwward to the third game It runs with 4 watts and 40fps on SteamDeck

This game it’s a simplistic take on Pokemon. There are no IVs, EVs, Natures or even abilities, and the Nexomon evolve by just leveling up, no special stones or conditions or anything. There is no breeding, there is no reason to capture the same nexomon more than once, they all have the same stats and moves (but those depend on the level). And regarding moves, this is my biggest con with this game, the nexomons are …

Such a great and funny game! It breaks the fourth wall so many times, and it's hilarious. The Nexomon are adorable, and the story is connected to the first game, so I'd recommend playing that one first (unlike me—I jumped straight into this one lol). I really like the monster designs. They look unique instead of feeling like just another copy of the "gotta catch 'em all" game. Highly recommended. It also runs great …

The story is fantastic and pretty funny. Characters have personality. The world is well-built. The Nexomon designs are some of the best in this genre and rival Pokemon. Combat is simple and fun. The graphics are nice. The game improves on the previous game in almost every regard. The one qualm I had is that the auto-leveling system made combat frustrating. It makes it so you have to develop an over-reliance on …

Players who liked Nexomon: Extinction talk about funny and engaging story with fourth-wall breaks; those who didn't talk about simplified battle system lacks depth. Which matters more to you?

neutral · AI labelView post →I thought I'd try out the mobile game Nexomon. I just finished the demo, and all things considered, it's pretty decent. I don't particularly like the overworld's art style, but the monster designs seemed alright. This was my final team, and you know what? I kinda love these weird little guys. lol

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game looks good, but the PC controls are a disaster. Random keyboard inputs, no official controller settings. The Steam overlay only half works... I gave up.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are someone that enjoys a constant challenge throughout the game then maybe give it a try, but if you just want to play a creature collecting game you might want to know what you are getting yourself into. I tried to give it a fair shot. I completed Nexomon one with 100% achievements and really enjoyed it. But the level scaling in this one just ruins the game for me, the thought that no matter how much i grind i will never be able to clear bosses easily made me stop playing it. I know…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →better than giving up your morals to the pokemon company
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good Pokémon-style game that plays well with a controller. The story is funny and entertaining, but unfortunately I currently lack the motivation to continue playing it.

positive · AI labelView post →I played through both Nexomon and Nexomon Extinction. Since this is a game made for PC first, I'll start with the positives over that of Nexomon. Positives: PC-first game approach. The game, while still having some of the mobile game aesthetic, is actually a really good PC rendition of the prequel. The UI was revamped to have some care put behind it, such as having menus to help slow confirmations just enough so you're not pressing something you don't mean to. I can see the stamina…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[Steam] Nexomon: Extinction ($1.99 / 90% off).
neutral · AI labelView post →At first I liked this game and felt it had solid potential to be a favorite, but after having it for a while there are some glaring flaws that really hurt the experience: 1. Navigation. Finding where you're supposed to go is annoying, seriously - and they do not tell you. It's a lot of walking back and forth with the only activity between that being rock collecting. But not just any type of walking, it's grid-based walking in static environments, so it doesn't feel like true exploration. 2.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh you want something like Pokemon? Since the company with a bottomless budget can't seem to put together a game that runs more than 30fps here you go: Bugsnax Cassette Beasts Palworld Nexomon Beastieball (And literally hundreds of other creature collector games...)

positive · AI labelView post →Trying out Nexomon which is alright! It’s like a really streamlined tiny classic Pokémon game, which I guess makes sense since I think it started life as a phone game? Still, nothing tips Cassette Beasts
neutral · AI labelView post →It anyone is wanting to play a good creature collector game, I highly recommend both Coromon and Nexomon Extinction. There's a lot of heart and soul put into them and definitely worth taking a look. I had a lot of fun with them.
positive · AI labelView post →Bro go play Nexomon extinction. It's a really good single player mon game. Best I've found. Really funny story, cool monsters, and SO many good quality of life changes pokemon should have implemented a decade ago. EDIT: Oh and NO microtransactions if you play on switch/PC. The microtransactions on mobile are pointless and make no sense, so don't play on mobile.
positive · AI labelView post →Showing off some Nexomon! I totally didnt play the sequel more than the first game... #vtuber #envtuber #indiegames #caturday www.twitch.tv/ladymoonnugz...
neutral · AI labelView post →Game 22 of 2026 complete: Nexomon! It blew my mind when I found out this was a port of a mobile game. Production value was way higher than I’d expect and the humor was really great. Some balancing issues and rough UI aside, it was a really fun Pokemon clone and I’ve heard the sequel is better
positive · AI labelView post →After enjoying the first Nexomon, I was curious to see whether Nexomon: Extinction would fix its shortcomings while keeping its identity. This sequel takes place several years after the events of the first game and clearly aims to deliver a more ambitious adventure. Positives - A more captivating story. The narrative clearly gains in scale. The developers do a great job of pulling the player into the universe and its stakes, with moments that are sometimes serious and sometimes lighter,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this game for a dollar, got a solid 25 - 30 hours out of the main game. Pretty worth it, imo. Obviously, the main comparison is to Pokemon or Coromon. In those terms, this is a much shallower game - coverage for different type enemies comes from the Mons you have, not from their movesets, as each Mon generally only learns moves of their element, or Normal element. Generally speaking, Mons are also fairly squishy, which is a little annoying, as a couple fights will have you running for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For anyone curious about Steam's current Creature Collector Fest, my personal recommendation would be Nexomon Extinction. It's easily the best Poké-like I've played and it's, once again, only TWO dollars! It's got a teensy bit of mobile game visual stank, but ignore that and you're set. #blutoid

positive · AI labelView post →I just finished Anode Heart after a million hours over the past couple weeks. Spectacular game. It's an indie monster tamer, it doesn't have the graphics of Nexomon: Extinction or Cassette Beasts but I liked it better than either of those.
neutral · AI labelView post →Play Digimon Story: Time Stranger or Monster Sanctuary if you want a cool monster taming game that isn't Pokémon There's also Monster Hunter Stories 3, Nexomon, Cassette Beasts, Coromon, Aethermancer, World of Final Fantasy, Anode Heart, and PLENTY MORE, you dont have to play the AI Pokémon game

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you liked the old pokemon handhelds, So Gen 1/2/3/etc, this is a very good alternative take on the monster catcher genre. If pokemon is a game for kids, this is more for teens. The story is a little more then average for a pokemon game. A post apocalypse, bandits, children being treated like a nuisence by grandmasters of the faction because honestly they got better ♥♥♥♥ to do, but someone needs to look after those snotnose punks and train the recruits so ugh. The gameplay is not as…

neutral · AI labelView post →Nexomon: Extinction! The monster designs were great and the story itself played off of the results of the first game pretty well! Though, and I never thought I'd say this, there were too many fourth wall breaks- I'm very excited for Nexomon 3! The previews look fantastic!

I think Cassette Beasts *is* that game and reviewed well, and to ignore it might be to ignore exactly the game you're asking for, but I'd also point you toward the "creature collector" tag on Steam. I've never heard of Coromon before doing that search to leave this reply, but mousing over it for a second shows a video that…

neutral · AI labelView post →What a fantastic game! Started playing this as it has very good reviews and mostly was expecting a nice Monster-Collecting game. Big surprise, that the story is actually very nice and engaging till the end! Also nice comedy and the often breaking of the 4th wall!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is good, BUT... There are a few slightly annoying points in the game. Stamina: skills don’t have PP, but a stamina cost... basically “mana”. This makes farming fairly tedious because you end up having to go back and forth a lot to heal. You could just build up a huge stock of health (and stamina) potions, you might say! except you don’t become a millionaire as easily as in Pokémon. It’s actually quite the opposite, so spamming potions isn’t recommended. Instead, you’re better off…

neutral · AI labelView post →And that’s another game done! Thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was definitely a massive upgrade from its predecessor. Here’s to the upcoming Nexomon 3!
positive · AI labelView post →Updates on this Nexomon playthrough... It might be... just a smidge too easy to grind in the game. Levelling up takes less then a minute, when you level up your health and pp is restored so you can just keep going. Not to mention wild battles give you money meaning tons for healing items #Nexomon

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you aren't attracted to the survival aspect I'd recommend to pay attention to the upcoming Nexomon 3. It is more a Pokemon like game with better calibration on its monsters.
neutral · AI labelView post →The amount of times they break the 4th wall for some self-deprecating "humor" is too dang high. It's never actually funny, ruins the storytelling, and breaks any sense of immersion.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite possibly some of the most insufferable writing in a game I've ever seen. Ordinarily I'd be able to put up with a terrible story if the gameplay is good, but the gameplay is okay at best, and they make the utterly baffling decision to cap off the finale of a monster collecting game by sidelining the team you've collected in favor of a cool special set of boss monsters that are just better than anything you've gathered for yourself. The monster designs don't really inspire, either - there's…

positive · AI labelView post →Nexomon is good but someone has already played Pokemon, I think they might want a monster taming game that gives a different gameplay experience than Pokemon can offer. …Unless someone want but can’t play Pokemon because of the AAA price tag then yes, Nexomon is a good option!
neutral · AI labelView post →Cassette Beasts was fun, and distinctive enough in how it went about it to be very definitely its own game. I enjoyed Coromon and Nexomon too, although they might be more arguable in terms of how close they are.
