Nick Mosier based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20220407-198234\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">original Japanese article<\/a> (original article&#8217;s publication date: 2022-04-07 13:23<\/em> <em>JST)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The two Pok\u00e9mon-like titles <em><strong>Nexomon<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>Coromon<\/strong><\/em> recently released in Japan within the same launch window, and both are getting attention from players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Nexomon<\/em> is a monster raising RPG from the Canadian studio VEWO Interactive. Players venture across various locations catching Nexomon that live in the wild while training, evolving, and building their team. The English version of the game released for mobile devices in 2017, with PC and console releases following later. A sequel called <em>Nexomon: Extinction<\/em> also released in 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In March of this year, a Japanese version of the first title was released on Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X|S by publisher PQube, with PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions launching in April. It\u2019s relatively robust for a Pok\u00e9mon-like, so <em>Nexomon<\/em> is even finding its footing in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nexomon - Launch Trailer (Japanese)\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/udVXedWtsNI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The other <em>Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> inspired title is called <em>Coromon<\/em>, and it launched March 31 on Steam supporting multiple languages including English and Japanese. This game was developed by the Dutch studio TRAGsoft and a mobile release is planned for a later date. <em>Coromon<\/em> also revolves around exploring a field while catching and raising monsters. Battles in the game aren\u2019t just 1vs1 but have situations where you battle multiple Coromon at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being a new IP from a small studio, <em>Coromon<\/em> has been maintaining a concurrent player count of around 2,000 players (<a href=\"https:\/\/steamdb.info\/app\/1218210\/graphs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SteamDB<\/a>). Its peak concurrent player count even eclipsed the <em>Nexomon<\/em> series.<em> Coromon<\/em> has amassed 900 user reviews and sits at a rating of \u201cVery Positive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Coromon gameplay trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UTQvifz8Qus?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But <em>Nexomon<\/em> and <em>Coromon<\/em> aren\u2019t simply just clones of <em>Pok\u00e9mon<\/em>, with each mixing their own unique elements into the formula. For example, <em>Nexomon<\/em> doesn\u2019t have a set number of times a move can be used, but has players manage a stamina gauge. <em>Nexomon<\/em> also has a system where there are different levels of rarity for each Nexomon.<em> Coromon<\/em> on the other hand, has difficulty options that change the experience. It has a stamina system and provides a lot of flexibility for how each Coromon can be raised, giving it its own unique flair.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1368\" height=\"770\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1368px) 100vw, 1368px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-001.jpg 1368w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-001-746x420.jpg 746w\" \/><figcaption>Nexomon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220407-198234-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><figcaption>Coromon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pok\u00e9mon-likes have been on the rise recently.
