![]() The neat thing is that unlike in games like Final Fantasy Tactics, where your recruits start out at level one, you can actually buy your recruits up to the highest level of someone currently in your army. Gig also acts as a shop for buying items and new recruits. Your enemies are everywhere, as there are several factions looking to protect, destroy, or use the World Eaters.Īt the beginning of the game, you’ve got a select few blocks where you can lay out the people in your party into various squads. So, you progress through the world, building up an army of your own with which to fight. Obviously, this wouldn’t be much of a game if you just let Gig take over your body (although you certainly do have that option). This is why your character is nameless: Gig repeatedly offers you his power to defeat insurmountable enemies, but at the cost of him taking over your body. Once you hold the sword, Gig inhabits your body - the two souls are now permanantly linked. See, the thing is, Gig is the one who controlled the World Eaters some 200 years ago. She gives you an ancient sword, which has the soul of Gig trapped in it. ![]() The elder of your village intrusts you and your childhood friend, Danette, to go out and destroy the World Eaters (which are dormant at the moment) in order to make sure the world is safe. Additionally, rooms can be augmented with decorations, which provide a variety of bonuses in addition to the room's normal effect.In a depature from Nippon Ichi games of the past, in Soul Nomad, you are the nameless hero of your creation. Room decor and formation also have very big inpacts on how a squad will perform, and players need think carefully about both of these things. The visuals and sounds are a lot like Disagea, but the gameplay does not seem overly so.īattles are turn-based and on a grid, but use squads instead of single-chara-versus-single-chara type actions to play out. Too much use of Gig would like, eat the world or something. Players create/revruit characters from among the game's almost 30 varieties and prepares them to battle enemies, so tha tthe main character does not have to reply on Gig as much. Gameplay: Said to be somewhat similar to other Nippon Ichi titles, but not so much to the point one can call it a Phantom Brave or Disagea knockoff. The story holds some promise and is complemented by a script that is more serious and less humorous than previous Nippon Ichi games-not to mention more crass." In and out of battle, Gig approaches with all kinds of offers for dark power of smiting, many of which are dotted with a telltale "Bad Ending" symbol. Even then, Gig is constantly trying to lend the hero more of his power, which will slowly destroy the hero's soul and leave behind a body for Gig to ravage the world in. The hero is apparently the only one who can possibly contain Gig's spirit without getting consumed. The idyllic lifestyle is short-lived as he is called to wield an Onyx Blade that contains the spirit of Gig, badguy supreme. In some sort of sealed village, the hero, whose gender the player selects at the start of the game, is training for battle. Their commander has been sealed away, but the World Eaters are sitting dormant in the world, posing an obvious threat. ![]() " Soul Nomad and the World Eaters opens with the game world largely in disarray, thanks to three particularly nasty creatures, called the-you guessed it-"World Eaters," and the demon forces that controlled them two hundred years back. Story as explained by May16's wife while May16 nods and pretends to get it: ![]()
