Just sitting there waiting for what he’s going to sprout next is a joyous moment, because you know what comes from him is either insulting, witty, amusing or just plain bad ass, the game even features a little Duke Nukem reference for some kicks.īut enough about Gig, a game can’t be good just solely on a character being godlike, it has to play well too. For example Gig has it in for the main character’s best friend, called Danette, she isn’t the brightest of sparks because she has something wrong with her, but throughout the game he throws insults at her like “cow” and “retard,” along with gems like “man you must have had an horrid childhood” to the main character, and everyone’s favourite, by the looks of things is “she makes me want to punch kittens!” (that one is going to be stuck with me for a long time, it’s a classic.) I can say that one of the main reasons I kept on playing throughout the game was my love of Gig. The game isn’t the bizarre comical type that you would normally associate with Nippon Ichi, rather the story is a lot more mature and grown up, but because of Gig’s full-on don’t-give-a-crap attitude, it makes for some interesting dialogue. It’s the fusion of Gig and the main character that supplies most of the game’s laughs. Hoping that the hero will be able to control the power of Gig, Layna entrusts the player to put a stop to the reawakened World Eaters and save everyone from certain doom.
Back to present times, the protagonist is now infused with the soul of Gig. After a climatic battle he was finally overcome and sealed away, although his three World Eaters were still around on the planet, they appeared to be asleep all isn’t what it seems though. 200 years ago the Master of Death – Gig – was wreaking havoc on the planet with his three gigantic World Eaters. You learn that Gig was trapped in the sword for a reason. From there you are given a mysterious sword and suddenly taking hold of it, your body is fused with something evil, wicked, twist and damn right cool too, this is Gig. After that you are summoned to the chambers of the village leader, Layna.
The story kicks off with the hero/heroine training with his/her good friend. It features the option to do both, though you’ll be saving civilization first because the other path is harder than the hero one. After you’ve entered your name, you are off on a journey to save the world, or destroy it. It doesn’t really alter much apart from the endings, which are slightly different depending on what sex you are. It’s probably because no matter whom you choose the character remains a silent protagonist, so no voice acting was needed. Kicking off the game you get the chance to be a male or female adventurer, this is actually the first time Nippon Ichi have not had a set character for the game. Nippon Ichi brings us a twist on a genre that they know so well, giving us an interesting story, gameplay mechanics and a dude that’s got to be one of the year’s most bad ass characters yet. Without him it would be one of those usual “protect the world” stories, and we’ve had plenty of them.
#Buy soul nomad and the world eaters plus
That’s pretty much all that needs to be said when someone speaks about Soul Nomad & the World Eaters (which we will call Soul Nomad from now on, as I’m kind of stuck for time, plus I’m now ruler of the world! Mwahaha! Bow down to my might!) Soul Nomad is one of those characters that just make the game what it is.
