Story History of Prodesto Īt the end of a long war-shattered age, one man brought all the countries in the Continent of Prodesto together under his rule: Lord Median the Conqueror. Alternately, the player can recruit NPCs into her or his army. Additionally, the player can attack the towns and fight against the NPCs inhabiting them. It is possible to steal items from shops or NPCs instead of buying them. The game includes more options for interacting with Non-playable Characters (NPCs) than previous Nippon Ichi games. Squads can also be merged in order to increase their power. Also, unlike the older Nippon Ichi titles, the player is not allowed to return to older levels. Tedious tasks like visiting the same area over and over in order to level new characters (a staple of older Nippon Ichi titles) are no longer necessary as any new units may be purchased up to the level of the main character. Characters' individual abilities can do such things as increase the range of an effect or give each unit a bonus to its inflicted damage. Up to 25 different character types can be created, each filling a unique position in the squad with its own strengths and weaknesses. The player is given the ability to create and command squads, which after enough time, will become an army capable of destroying the world he or she is trying to save. Instead, the player is expected to build and train an army of units capable of handling whatever comes his or her way, relying on Gig's powers as little as possible. When the game begins, the player chooses the gender and name of the main character, a change from other Nippon Ichi games.Īt the very beginning of the game the main character can become powerful enough to destroy even the final boss, but relying on Gig too much would be the equivalent of just letting the world be destroyed. Critics positively received the game's story for its originality, but it was criticized for its lack of gameplay depth compared to other Nippon Ichi titles.Ī key element of the game is customization, as the game is a strategy role-playing game, much like the majority of Nippon Ichi Software's games, giving the player many more options to choose from when progressing through the story. Gig, now sealed forcibly within Revya, is begrudgingly forced to lend them his power, although he attempts to tempt Revya down the path of evil. The game centres around the adventures of Revya, the gender-selectable silent protagonist, to defeat several sentient magical weapons, called the World Eaters, that were once commanded centuries earlier by Gig, the godlike "Master of Death". It was later ported to Steam and Nintendo Switch (as part of the Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 1 compilation) and released worldwide in the August of 2021. The game was initially released for PlayStation 2 on Februin Japan, Septemin North America, and June 26 in Australia and Europe, respectively. The battle system presents the attackers and defenders on each side of the screen, each side takes turns in battle, but squads attack in a group, rather than individually.Soul Nomad & the World Eaters is a strategy role-playing game (SRPG), developed and published by Nippon Ichi Software. Each squad also has a leader, whom are extremely important, as if the leader is defeated, the whole squad is lost. Also the units can be arranged into different formations. These rooms can be outfitted with decorations to give the contained squad certain buffs and the rooms can be upgraded to give the main character stat bonuses. Unit squads can be stored and managed in "rooms", pocket dimensions that can be accessed any time. However, the protagonist's will is strong and Gig cannot fully control him/her. The player plays a young boy or girl, who lives in this small village, and coming of age is given this sword, unleashing Gig to posses the player's body. Gig was ultimately defeated by the forces of good and trapped inside an obsidian blade, which was later hidden in a small village. The story is centered around Gig, the Master of Death, an evil god, who formerly tried to destroy the world with beings he controlled called the World Eaters. Soul Nomad & the World Eaters is a strategy/RPG hybrid and takes place in Prodesta, a place where war has has ravaged the land for thousands of years.
