Gamer's Hell Review
Gamer's Hell reviews Nexagon, giving it an overall 7.5:
Despite the quality of the graphics, the gameplay
and the music more than make up for it. This game is definitely original
and addictive. If you are looking for something totally new this might
be up your alley. There are a lot of things to do in the game and it can
keep you busy for quite a while. What’s better is the chance to go
against people online and see how they stand against your team.
The graphics bring the score down with a 6.5, but gameplay and
multiplayer rate an 8.5 and 8.0 respectively.

GameSpot Review
GameSpot gives Nexagon a 6.1(fair) in their
review:
If you can overlook the frustrating controls and a few missing
features, you'll find that Nexagon: Deathmatch is actually a decent
strategy game that offers a fairly distinctive gameplay experience.
Despite the difficulty you'll likely have in finding online opponents,
the game does offer a good variety of pits, as well as four uniquely
designed playable sides.
Interestingly enough, one negative the author notes is the lack of
multiplayer games on the net. This should not be a surprise to
anyone since the game, while "released" is hard to find - see my post
below. Once people actually have the game, we should see some games
cropping up.

In Store(s)
I can confirm that the game is in stores...or at least EBX and its various
incarnations. Other stores seem to have no idea of its existence or
like Gamestop keep pushing back their ship/release date. Why this
would be is beyond me. According to Gamestop I won't see my copy
until after August 5. Unless of course they push it back again...
If you have the game and would like to help with bringing the site up to
current, feel free to email me and info, unit stats, or whatever else you
like.

GameZone Review
GameZone has posted a review of Nexagon, giving it an
impressive 8.3:
This is a solid combat game that looks
good and plays well. It will take some time to get into it, but much
more than a reflexive exercise, this is a game that requires forethought
in the pre-battle stages, measured action during the battle phase, then
analytical planning afterwards to prepare for the next competition.
