Community Insight:
This game is an amazing monster-tamer. It has classic features, and quality of life things, like being able to select your moves instead of choosing them once and never getting the option to gain them back. This game has 25+ hours of content for just one dollar, an amazing deal! The lore isnt super thought out or groundbreaking, but it is easy and entertaining to follow. Id recommend this game to anyone looking for a new Monster Tamer game to jump into.
Reminds us of Pokmon and digimon.
Fell in love with this absolutely stunning and makes us excited for Nexomon Extinction, and hoping for three to hit mobile.
This game is really cool. We highly recommend this game.
One of the best games we ever played u wont regret playing and the story and art style is very nice.
You go anywhere with fire and see an antifreeze (at least in the early game).
The game is really fun but would be much better with controller support.
How does this not have controller support yet.
Needs update for using backbone controller.
Nexomon has been our favorite phone game for so long. We reas all the 1-3 star reviews and they are all the same. It needs controller support along with its just story hardly any battles. And we have a response to that. 1) it needs controller support no it doesn't, you just need to get used to the game controls. If you want to play controller so badly, get it on the switch. Stop complaining. 2) its just story hardly any battles so what? Some games are like that and if you don't like it then find a different game. We for one love the story. Its well thought out and has so much detail. The Nexomon not only are super cute and really cool looking, but the movements are so smooth. We have been playing this nonstop for the past 26 hours now and we have been doing loads of battles trying to raise our Nexomons levels and evolve them to fill the database. The more you collect, the higher the chance to find a Legendary! We caught a Luhava out of the blue while we were raising our Nexomon. So worth it. Also the experience you gain from battling is amazing. We got to level 30 just by defeating level 5 Nexomon in the span of an hour or so we love it! Give us more Nexomon.
Make it have the backbone control can make playing the game easier.
We really loved the story it was funny and very thought out we wish more games were like this hope yall make another series.
We played through the entire game nonstop! It is soooo amazing. The plot of the story is fantastic, it includes a few twists and turns along with a few ironic jokes. The Nexomon have clever names, cool evolutions and can be trained even past level 100! This is way more than we could've imagined for the price. Nexomon is truly the best Pokmon-like game that you can get on your mobile device.
We only bought this game cause our boyfriend bought us Extinction as an early Christmas present. Hes not gonna be here for Christmas and knew Id enjoy the game. Kinda underhanded to use a game you know someone will like to avoid getting chewed out for working on Christmas lol. Anyways so far we like this game just as much as we did Extinction. However itd be nice if the game had Bluetooth controller compatibility. Itd make it a lot easier for the game to be played with controller support.
We played both when we were younger and revisiting them now is awesome. W game.
Amazing game and story! This game made us laugh and almost cry and was better than any of the mainline Pokmon stories (except Gen 5). We loved the fourth wall breaking, And all the characters actually have personality and charm to them! Our only gripe would be the leveling system, but besides that, this game is a gem, definitely worth the to play this game.
Really nice game, not hard so good for casuals like us, great monster designs and flexible mechanics so theres little regret factor and you can change monsters up at any time. Any chance of an update to accommodate newer phone dimensions? On our iPhone 13 the game is zoomed in too much, cutting off the top and bottom of the game screen, and the notch obscures some of the game on the sides.
We love how its on mobile and it can be played anywhere on the go, it makes waiting times so much faster with this game. Yes, its absolutely worth the money! This version, including Nexomon 2 on console, is way more pricier than buying both on mobile, so we highly recommend buying this here if you can. Theres a lot of to do in this game and a lot of monsters to capture and befriend. It does offer hours and hours of fun. We had a few laughters here and there because some of the dialogues were funny. This is a lot like Pokmon if you love that genre, youll love this one.
This game has some great sarcasm and an awesome story, Im so mad at ourselves for playing the second first but its hard not to, with the first one costing money to play and the second one being free its a little confusing for a new player. Our only and we mean ONLY gripes about this game and the newer extinction one is that for one, we think the first one should be free or around a dollar and the second one should be the one that costs money or more money, to go along with that is the fact getting any legendary mons is hard, but not just your average pokimon kind of hard we mean its a near impossible chance that you find one in the wild and the only real chance you have at getting one is opening the golden nexobox which costs twice the price of the game itself for just one just think there should be 2-3 legendary Nexomon for any newer games that are easier to find or have a catchable boss battle type of sequence like how Mewtwo is in the pokimon games.
At least 4 years later. Just finished the main story. 13+ hours. Still holds up. Level scaling was somewhat difficult and a couple modernized QOL improvements would make it better, but it was near perfect for a mobile game. Definitely was worth the .99.
We have had his game for quite some time, and Ive loved since we started. Unlike other games like this, it has a great story and great characters, that almost make you feel like your in the game. When we saw that their was a sequel coming, we couldnt wait to play it. Now that we have the sequel, we believe that it has the same feeling as this game, but with a new and fresh story. If you havent gotten the sequel, you should totally get it.
Nexomon is a amazing game they have some amazing designs for the nexomon and they have a very interesting story Though we dont like how they make you use the golden nexotrap in the beginning but still nexomon is a great that is positively one of our favorite games.
We honestly came in with low expectations. We were just looking for a Pokmon game to play on our phone and this was the only thing that popped up. We usually dont play knock offs but we thought Whats the worst that could happen? And as we started playing we ended up getting invested into the story. Ive never actually played a full game of Pokmon on a DS or anything but we guarantee their story isnt as good as this one. Its wholesome at times. Breaks the 4th wall a few times and has some good sub plots. Mysterious characters that you wonder about that. And a surprise at the end. Its a good story and Id recommend it to our friends. Good enough for us to leave a review and we never leave reviews.
This game is amazing; the plot, designs, elements, nearly flawless; however, there are two minor problems that we felt made the game just miss being perfect. For one, the icons and sometimes the camera would glitch, switching the icons positions and keeping the camera stuck so we cant see where we were going; luckily, saving and reloading fixed it every time. Second is the Normal type; all the neutral attacks felt like battle breakers, although after a lot of training we were able to push through it. Ive already heard of the two new types created in the sequel, which we do trust will balance the balance system. Despite those two glaring issues, we loved this game and am definitely going to get the sequelon computer (mobile not good but game good).
We highly recommend playing this game is underrated its one of the best.
A unique and interesting story, puzzles to solve, many sidequests, a huge map to explore, everything that tickles our brain. Thank you to the creators for making this game.
Would love to see backbone controller support for this game.
This story was incredible like when things seemed darkest we were at the edge of our seat if we could Id give this 10 stars great job guys.
One of those games you just cant put down.
Ok so heres our reason it is great its easy but not too easy and you can grind, you can battle with real people, you can get a lot of Nexomon and its easy but also hard we love this game its perfect for any person they just need to give it a try and boom! You love it! And any person will like it its like Pokmon but not too much to be like a ripoff and its so good like actually it is perfect for anyone we know we said this already but actually its perfect for grinding, exploring, taming, and more so if you think its dum and a cheesy ripoff then just try it after you get to like the city you will love it no matter what ok thank you for reading this review and 5 its great thanks for making it and please try it bye.
Love this series, have not had this much fun on a game in a while.
We see Extinction, we still think Nexomon 2 would be a great make keeping the mobile continuous.
Dont listen to the clown review below us with gripes about the artwork and story. Both are amazing, you play your flat fee and get access to the whole game. No need for additional micro transactions lest you want to speed up progress, but again, its Pokmon inspired and the grind is part of the game. The sequel is also amazing, just disregard the review below ours entirely. He doesnt know what hes talking about, lol.
Our brother thought it was too easy though.
We dont know what to do when we beat the game.
The game is fun. Many hours of play plus fun and funny writing. It borrows a LOT from Pokemon, but still keeps it relatively fresh. As far as we can tell, it's easy to play the game without spending money without too much grind. We bought the special items and it made the game seem short (Tip to spenders, the 8 golden Nexotrap bundle is the best value). If you want to spend, $20 will get you more than what you need and imo the game is worth that money.
We have not played many but still, it was a really enjoyable game. Even after beating the main story, im going to keep playing till we get every nexomon. Thank you for creating this great game.
Amazing graphics, amazing music, great humor, and while it looks like a Pokmon copy, Id personally liked this better then we liked the Pokmon games. This one is a lot more user friendly, so much less handholding, enough difficulty that it isnt boring, while still not being insufferable amounts of grinding. While we dont recommend it for children under 12, its still an amazingly open age range, difficulty and interest wise. And it doesnt sacrifice story or graphics and things. It also doesnt include that classic annoying Pokmon rival. Also the way that it allows you to want to fight the trainers, instead of being forced to. Not to mention Pokmon (Pokmon Go isnt a Pokmon made game, it was made by Niantic, and Google) doesnt have a good mobile game. The only bad thing that we can say is that the UI placement hasnt been fully fixed on newer smartphones, and the Nexobox and Diamonds UI can end up in the middle of the screen. Otherwise amazing game, more then worth the money, Id spend +$10 on it.
Hours of content for a great price.
To be honest at first we wasnt to sure about the game , once we start playing it we got into it and we can say we are impress the game is actually pretty cool. We definitely recommend the game all we spend was a total of $6.00 just because we decide to buy a pack of 500 diamonds but wasnt need it to beat the game just made it easy to buy the Exp share of 480 diamonds. We give the game 5 Thank you to the developers.
This is one of our favorite games.
We had some much fun playing this game the story line was great. We can not wait to see if they made more games like this. We think is better than Pokmon. This felt more challenging and the final boss was really strong.
Ive always been a big fan of pokmon games, always looking for ripoff games to play while waiting for something new to come out. However, this is not a rip off game, this is a genius idea created by great developers and strays far from pokmon, but has the same type of process that everyone knows and loves. Nexomon, is an outstanding game for several reasons. The storyline, is amazing. The content, the nexomon (theres 300 btw!!), the characters, the flow of the game, it all hits the mark. The story just got better and better, and ive played the whole game twice now! It isnt easy, and it isnt extremely hard, it is perfectly balanced. The cities are amazing, the overseers are great but we cannot get over how perfect the story line is. The characters and dialogue in this game are great! However, there a few additions we hope to see in the new nexomon extinction(which we preordered bc this game was that good). We would like to see more side missions or dialogue options that (sorry to compare) pokmon has. Maybe some trade offers in the game with people, possibly more items given from people giving you more of a reason to speak with them. Maybe even secrets people can lead you to. But overall, it was done great. In the new nexomon we do also want to see more types! There are seven types in this game and are great but we would love to see more! One more issue we do see is status moves. Unless the move does damage and can have a status effect, its not worth using. Status moves only last one turn and therefor there is no reason to use it. You use a move to paralyze, freeze, or put the opponent to sleep, and they dont get to move. But they are able to use a move on the next turn when you use yours, which defeats the purpose of the status, not really giving an advantage. We would like to see more moves as well, however the move selections are great already. We would also like to see more mega rare or special nexomon choices than just one per type. We find it rather simple to create a very strong party and would like to have to make more of a decision of who we should bring along with us! The game does not end where you think it does, and it doesnt end again when you think it should. The story keeps going and going and it is amazing. The side mission for legendary radar is awesome as well, a great thing to add into the game when you do complete the story line! This game outdid itself and we hope the developers are proud, because we are very excited for the new Nexomon to come out. Overall, great game! And we really hope to see even more sequels after Extinction, because this game is too good! Congrats on a fantastic adventure game.
Beautiful game in a mobile fashion. Highly recommend for Pokmon fans.
Really fun adventure and plotline. The twists were great, the Nexomon were great and the omicron and the 8 children Idea was so good. Worth the money. 5/5.
Love this game so much! It has lots of funny moments and a great story. 100% buying sequel.
Meaning if you played Extinction, thats a sequel and its totally worth getting this one too! This is the first game. In ways we like some aspects more, of course extinction made a fuller experience but both are all around great and deserve a play especially from Pokmon fans. Check out EvoCreo too if you get a chance. We do like Nexomon more though and recommend this over it.
Aside from this being the best Pokmon-esque game on iPhone, the developers are fantastic. This game has been out a very long time and then they suddenly released a patch to fix the resolution on newer phones.
We have been playing a lot of Micromon, the precursor to this game. We already have noticed improvements in this game, the only downside so far is we dont like the UI for this game. Micromon had such a good UI that was simple and fun to use.
This game had us hooked right from the start. Great job.
