For the first time ever, Soul Nomad & the World Eaters is coming to Steam! With unique gameplay mechanics, memorable characters, and up-scaled artwork, this is a must-have for Strategy RPG fans and NIS fans alike!
Gig and the gang are back to spread destruction! Utilize customizable “Rooms” to assemble and experiment with different team builds with over 25 different unit types such as Knight, Archer, Nereid, and Griphos Knight. Make impactful choices that change the outcome of the story, scout out battle conditions prior to combat, and even kidnap or do battle with the townsfolk!
The World Eaters Return Carve a path to glory with the first release of Soul Nomad since its debut in 2007, and experience the in-depth gameplay and captivating story of the original on a modern platform.
Soul Nomad had a great concept in putting Ogre Battle combat into a grid format for the first time. Unfortunately, the game is really dated at this point in most aspects. The dialogue and story in particular are atrocious, at least during the first play through. There is a lot of unnecessary clicking, for example needing to randomly generate squad layouts until you find the one that you want. There's an interesting set of unit variety, but the game actively punishes attempting to use more than one squad, so it gets a little boring.
It mostly just makes me eager to play Unicorn Overlord or Symphony of War again, but if you really like this style of game and are okay with Disgaea type story and repetitiveness, then go for it.

Honestly, even if they didn't add anything more to the game it still is as good as ever to be replayed.

Um clássico do PS2 e um clássico da NIS. História ótima, (embora deixe algumas perguntas sem respostas). E sistema de combate tático diferente e criativo.

Great game with a very unique playstyle for it's time. It's squad combat with regular story and RNG dungeons, like Disgaea. Soul Nomad walked so Unicorn Overlord could fly.
Unfortunately, this is a direct port with zero QOL features. Another incredibly lazy effort from NIS, as their Makai Kingdom and ZHP ports are absolutely terrible as well. I would recommend trying if you like these kind of games, but only on deep sale.

A worthy contribution to Nippon Ichi Software's legacy. In my opinion, it is not inferior to Disgaea.
Good worldbuilding and atmosphere, an interesting story, unique game mechanics and cute girls.
As a ported PS2 title, it does show its age. It can be clunky, inconsiderate, and has a bit of a learning curve.
But coming out the other side, my biggest disappointment is that there isn't more postgame content.
I would love to see a modern sequel or spiritual successor.
