Summary
If you want to take part in a futuristic Blade Runner-esque immersive game then The Nomad Soul is for you. Featuring a unique virtual re-incarnation concept The Nomad Soul takes place in a parallel universe that is desperate for your help. In order to save the day you must transfer your soul through your console into the body of Kay’l.
It feels like this game is alive as everything takes place in real time with hundreds of people to interact with. You need to keep your mind focused because there are numerous dangers in this world. You even need to be careful crossing the road because these drivers don’t stop and being run over repeatedly hurts. Learning how to use a gun will come in very handy.
Utilising the power of the Dreamcast the Nomad Soul has a very cinematic feel drawing you into the action and plot. The game structure is open-ended allowing you to choose where you need to go and what needs to be accomplished. Things won’t be easy for you, you’re going to have to learn when to use your fists and when to run. One of the best features about this game is the puzzles. It’s a nice feeling of accomplishment when you solve a puzzle that’s been causing you to scratch your head for days. The soundtrack deserves mention because it features no less than eight David Bowie songs taken from the album ‘Hours’. Almost an interactive movie, The Nomad Soul is one enjoyable game.
