Oh, I played this one. It's very good. It has lovecraftian/SMT vibes and good... everything, for what it is. It's one of these games where you want to try to play good to avoid sex and remain a virgin... witch is silly for a hentai game , but whatever. It's worth playing even without the smut.

Can you play having only lesbian sex?

No. It's either no sex or prostitution.

Nippon Ichi's 2007 tactics thing Soul Nomad & the World Eaters is coming to Steam

Nippon Ichi's 2007 tactics thing Soul Nomad & the World Eaters is coming to Steam

I must say the demon / evil route in this game is one of the most memorable out there. Pretty messed up, but that just what made it so enjoyable to play through, at least for me.

Also for the 'sensitive' types out there, a word of warning: Gig, one of the main 'protagonist' in this game likes to swear a lot, he loves to say 'shit' and 'bullshit' a whole lot.

Considering they made a game about a witch casually joking about rape and necrophilia,swearing seems kinda low on the sensitivity list.

I know some people who would take offense on hearing fictional characters swear but just shrug off when hearing about the stuff you mentioned. Because in their own words, cases where rape, necrophilia, and other stuff occur happen tend to be so over the top that it border on black comedy - such that it becomes hard to be taken seriously.

So by the same reasoning, swearing is more 'real' and therefore worthy of taking offense?

Personally, I don't get it either.

The evil route leaves such a bad taste in my mouth that I need to play moege visual novels to wash out the aftertaste.

Spoiler

The ending where your airhead childhood friends decided to be trapped in the sword with you so you won't be alone for millenia was really sweet tho

Fun game with good animations as well. Will probably buy this for nostalgia.

 

[Rahdulan]

Soul Nomad certainly opens a whole other can of worms in terms of what can be ported over, especially if it's based on the PSP version. Doesn't look that great with seemingly no improved 2D assets or anything. I'd like to see the often overlooked Makai Kingdom next.

Was the original a success to warrant a sequel?
I remember the scores were mediocre, due to a ridiculous "social links" system and monotonous grinding gameplay.
Story was also shit, characters were fine though.
