Good thing you have Gig on your side, well at least his power as he is still trying to gain control of these demons so he can of course rule the world, which is what creates the drama for our story. These abominations are known as World Eaters, and true to their name can level cities in the blink of an eye. The idea behind this treachery is that the elder knew that Gig was the only soul powerful enough to defeat these demons, thus explaining why he decided to give you the power so you could hunt down and defeat them. After possessed your character undergoes a major attitude adjustment becoming more powerful by inheriting the powers of Gig as well as his polluted mouth and sarcastic demeanor. During the ceremony the town elder bequeaths a cursed blade to our hero and thus they become possessed by the spirit of Gig, who has the notion that he will soon become the ruler of all demons. Our main protagonist (who can be either male or female depending on your preference) is about to ascend to the position of town guardian. None of these conventions are apparent when you first dive into Soul Nomad it begins just like any other S-RPG. If you love strategy RPGs and are willing to put traditions aside you will discover a unique experience that could easily pave the way for an evolution in the genre. Their latest title Soul Nomad & the World Eaters takes the traditional formula of mute hero sent to save the world and adds a nice twist to create a recognizable, yet inimitable experience for fans of the genre. At the front of the pack is developer Nippon Ichi who seems to have a monthly release schedule for spiky-haired heroics. I hope you found this review useful.Even in its concluding stretch there is certainly no lack of quirky role-playing titles coming to Sony’s still-dominant PS2. 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.
SOUL NOMAD AND THE WORLD EATERS LIKE GAME PS2
In my opinion, Soul Nomad and the World Eaters is a great PS2 game, that's if you like tactics games.
