![]() Up to 25 different character types can be created, each filling a unique position in the squad with its own strengths and weaknesses. The player is given the ability to create and command squads, which after enough time, will become an army capable of destroying the world he or she is trying to save. Instead, the player is expected to build and train an army of units capable of handling whatever comes his or her way, relying on Gig's powers as little as possible. ![]() When the game begins, the player chooses the gender and name of the main character, a change from other Nippon Ichi games.Īt the very beginning of the game the main character can become powerful enough to destroy even the final boss, but relying on Gig too much would be the equivalent of just letting the world be destroyed. Critics positively received the game's story for its originality, but it was criticized for its lack of gameplay depth compared to other Nippon Ichi titles.Ī key element of the game is customization, as the game is a strategy role-playing game, much like the majority of Nippon Ichi Software's games, giving the player many more options to choose from when progressing through the story. Gig, now sealed forcibly within Revya, is begrudgingly forced to lend them his power, although he attempts to tempt Revya down the path of evil. ![]() The game centres around the adventures of Revya, the gender-selectable silent protagonist, to defeat several sentient magical weapons, called the World Eaters, that were once commanded centuries earlier by Gig, the godlike "Master of Death". It was later ported to Steam and Nintendo Switch (as part of the Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 1 compilation) and released worldwide in the August of 2021. The game was initially released for PlayStation 2 on Februin Japan, Septemin North America, and June 26 in Australia and Europe, respectively. I hope you found this review useful.Soul Nomad & the World Eaters is a strategy role-playing game (SRPG), developed and published by Nippon Ichi Software. So overall, I highly recommend you play this game especially if you like to play Tactics games. There's also some fun things you can do, like you can choose to fight with a poster and "Hero Guy" will appear, or another fun thing to do is if you are naming a new troop member, to push the select button for a random name over and over again, they are some VERY interesting names on there. Also the attacking part of the battle system may seem very simple (because once you begin an attack, you have no control on that group, they exchange attacks with the enemy and perform a certain attack depending upon which row you have them in), but it is very customizable. The best part (to me) about the voices is that you can actually set the voices to the original Japanese voice actors and the game itself still remains in English.Īs far as the bad points go, the arranging your troops in the "rooms", equipping decor, and leveling up your rooms can be rather confusing at first, but if you keep at it you'll figure it out in no time. Soul Nomad has a wonderful story (no matter which one you are playing), bright and colorful graphics, (the graphic quality is about the average of a normal Tactics game, so nothing to really complain about),a great music soundtrack, and good voice acting. So actually the game has a high replay value for that reason, because the two stories are almost totally different and the game has multiple endings. Though the first time through you are pretty muchly forced to play a "good" file, when you play through the second time you can be as evil as you want. One of the main selling points to me was one of the main advertising lines for the game, "Some people just aren't fit to play God." I have been waiting for a game were you can actually play on the evil side, and this game lives up to it. It plays very nice and has a very interesting menu and battle system that is unique to only it. To me it seemed to be advertised as an RPG so I bought it on its release date and was a little disappointed when I found out it was a Tactics game, and I'm not a huge Tactics fan, but in the end I ended up loving it. In my opinion, Soul Nomad and the World Eaters is a great PS2 game, that's if you like tactics games.
