Gig’s presence starts off as an irreverent twist on a familiar plot, as he cracks jokes at the expense of the hero’s ditzy friend Danette. He’s constantly in your face, interjecting in every scene to insult someone or complain crudely about something.
Or maybe it just seems that way because he’s paired with an effectively mute protagonist, an echo chamber for Gig’s sadistic thoughts. But none of them had the hero share a body with someone as truly repulsive as Gig. This whole odd couple dynamic where the protagonist shares their body with a monstrous being has become a common trope in anime and manga, showing up in series like Yu-Gi-Oh, Parasyte and, more recently, Jujutsu Kaisen. And so Gig’s soul is unsealed and fused with the protagonist as the pair set about taking down the World Eaters, potentially so they can wipe out humanity themselves. The only one who can stop them consuming the planet? The Master of Death, Gig, who almost destroyed the world himself 200 years ago. The story begins in a world where the population is rapidly decreasing, in part due to giant rampaging monsters known as World Eaters.
#Soul nomad and the world eaters special attacks Pc#
Now playable on PC and Nintendo Switch, Soul Nomad still feels fresh almost 15 years after its original release. Though Soul Nomad may look like a typical strategy RPG on the surface, it’s anything but conventional, with a mix of odd tactical options and dark humour that was unlike anything out at the time. Nippon Ichi or NIS have long been known for their offbeat RPGs, like Disgaea and Phantom Brave, but 2007’s Soul Nomad & The World Eaters might be one of their most unique.
