![]() ![]() 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'll go for it maybe another time as I'm swamped by schoolwork at the moment, and there's another game I want to LP when it comes out in September.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. I believe we get to commit genocide and kill little kids, or so I've heard. ![]() ![]() I do know there's the demon path, which is marked by a skull but I don't know if I'm sufficiently leveled enough to tackle it. I powered through the game so the world can see how it is. Heh, I like the game for its grimdarkness. And I'll wish you the best of luck-you'll need it. It's pure concentrated unpleasantness on a grand scale.Īs I said before, I haven't personally played it, nor do I plan to anytime soon, but if you decide to play it I'll be along for the ride here, more out of morbid curiosity than anything. ![]() 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. It is far harder than the Normal Path, but the main reason I haven't attempted it is because of the sheer mind f*ck that it is.Īs quoted by Feinne, an LPer I followed for this game: Wow, you got through fast! Did you like the game? I loved Gig and the ending I got with him as a female I enjoyed the game very much-the normal story at least.ĭunno if you know or not, but now that you have completed the normal story, if you restart the game and choose a certain dialogue choice, you can start the "Demon Path", which is the true reason this game should've had an M rating. ![]()
