Although Gig and his World Eaters have long been dormant, the giants have since re-awakened and the player is forced to rely on Gig’s powers to defeat the World Eaters. This malevolent being called Gig happens to be the foul-mouthed master of three gargantuan World Eaters who was defeated in battle 200 years prior, upon which he was sealed away within the sword and has since eagerly been plotting his revenge. Players control an unnamed silent protagonist who is given a black sword, which turns out to be possessed by an evil spirit. Soul Nomad begins in a hidden village tucked away in the land of Raide, where two young villagers have their coming of age marked by being entrusted with weapons from the village elder to protect the land. Unfortunately, this release of Soul Nomad is simply a bare bones port of the PS2 version with little to no quality-of-life or graphical improvements, leaving this unusually grim tale firmly rooted in the past. The title features some interesting, if not entirely successful, tweaks to the SRPG genre. While RPGamers had additional opportunities to try out its compilation companion Phantom Brave, this marks the first time Soul Nomad has been ported or released elsewhere. I might put a few select tracks up, though, because they're too damn awesome for words.First released for the PlayStation 2 in 2007, Soul Nomad & the World Eaters is now available as the second part of the Prinny Presents: NIS Classics Volume 1 compilation. If you're really interested, try here, you should be able to order it no sweat. You're in luck! I'll be imposing amusing conditions upon myself! Perhaps I'll even let people make conditions for levels at some point in the game, but trust me when I say that I'm going to be making the game much harder on myself by neglecting to use certain somewhat unfair things.Īnd I won't be putting the soundtrack up, because it's way too easy to buy. The gameplay in these SRPG LPs is boring! You're boring! I hate you! If you want to specify a desired class I can attempt to accommodate you, but considering the mechanism of unlocking classes in Soul Nomad this could be difficult, so I'd instead suggest you specify 'melee', 'ranged', 'magic', or 'support'. You let us sign on to join you in Disgaea.Īnd you still can. It's pure concentrated unpleasantness on a grand scale. If anything, the story is way, way too well written. Not because there's terrible voice acting. All I'll say is that it's a large part of why the game should be rated M, and is one of the most painful things I've ever experienced in a game. You will just have to see it with yourself after we finish the Normal Path and unlock it. This clearly indicates that the ESRB never actually played the game, because among other things Soul Nomad contains near constant swearing from the main character, rape, murder, slavery, a dash of genocide, and all sorts of other happy fun times. The gameplay itself isn't very complicated, but the number of options open to you stretches into infinity. As far as actual gameplay goes, I'll be explaining it as we go along. Soul Nomad takes place on a more tactical level, in that you move around squads of characters instead of individual characters. I've heard Soul Nomad is a little different than their previous games. It also has the absolute most painful thing I've ever experienced in a video game in it. Soul Nomad is also my personal favorite, because in my opinion it brings together all of the good elements from their previous games. Hello everyone, this is Feinne welcoming you to the third in my Nippon Ichi Software SRPG LP series, Soul Nomad and the World Eaters! Soul Nomad is the last of their PS2 series, as Disgaea 3 is/will be on the PS3.
