Product Description

Long ago an evil overlord wreaked havoc upon the world with his three demon golems. Entire kingdoms and countries were wiped out with their amazing powers. When all seemed to be doomed a powerful wizard sealed the overlord into a dark sword. Without its master, the demon golems stood as motionless as statues for centuries. But, now the golems are active again and threatening peace. The only one who can help you now is . . . the evil overlord! Sell him your soul and he'll grant you tremendous power, but you'll lose more control over your own body each time you use it. Still, can you face the horror of the World Eaters without it?

This review is from: Soul Nomad & The World Eaters (Video Game)

This game is fantastic, just know that it is a hardcore strategy RPG. If you've ever played Disgaea, Phantom Brave, or the like, then you have a pretty good idea of what you're getting in to. However, this game is significantly more complex than either of those titles. You can easily select something on the menu and end up winning that particular battle, but ending up with a "Bad Ending" screen right after that...

What sets this game apart is the story and the characters. They are extremely unique, and quite different than any other game you will play. I don't know how this game got away with only a T (Teen) rating as there is quite a bit of adult language and references... to say the least.

This game is definitely not for beginners, but if you love strategy, and can't get enough of strategy RPGs (like myself...) then you'll love this game.

This review is from: Soul Nomad & The World Eaters (Video Game)

I didn't really expect much from Soul Nomad, but upon playing it, I was pleasently surprised. Taking strategy role playing to a more fun level, Soul Nomad changes things up from the Disgaea formula by shifting playing perspectives and the battle system. This time around, you battle in a 2-D side scrolling/isometric plane that features some well drawn sprites and effects. The battle system itself is a change of pace, but definitely for the better, and it actually winds up being pretty fun. The only real downsides to Soul Nomad are some slight graphical glitches and the annoying quality of the randomly generated rooms, which end up causing more difficulty than they're worth. That aside, everything else about Soul Nomad makes it a winner: an engaging and more than entertaining story with some downright hilarious dialogue, more than solid voice acting and music, and a lengthy enough quest that helps you get the most out of the game. All in all, Soul Nomad is more than worth checking out for strategy RPG fans and Disgaea fans alike; both of which will definitely find something to enjoy here.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hate the Combat System, Love the Story, October 16, 2007

This review is from: Soul Nomad & The World Eaters (Video Game)

An attempt to take the combat system of Ogre Battle (a game I hated) and combine it with the Disgaea (a game I loved). It ends at mediocre with highlights of brilliance. The fact you DO NOT control your characters in combat is a huge negative, especially when your entire group of level 1000 characters decide to super useless overkill by focusing attacks on one guy who isn't even the enemy leader.

The story is funny and good.

The game combat is simplistic and tedious.

Sounds effects like the crying baby in the storyline and wolf's howl make you wonder if the developers gave each other bonuses for being annoying.

The game AI leaves much to be desired. It is possible to play the first 20 story maps without ever changing rooms, using items, summoning, or moving. All you do is hit R1 and X, and the enemy comes over, attacks you, and dies to your counter-attack. I read a novel while doing this.

Rooms. Almost good. You cannot move the hero between rooms. You have to re-roll the hero's room to change. That means if you are lucky and generate a cool room, you can't move your hero into it. This soured me on the entire system.

Why does this game get three stars? Story. If you play rpg's for combat, give this one a pass. This game needed another 2 months of development time for the combat and room system, and it shows.
