You don’t have to play a pristine hero in Soul Nomad, you can be a jerk if you want to. By using edicts you can steal from shops and punch bar owners square in the face. Edicts have a place in battle too. You can "kidnap" enemy characters to bring them into your party and [...]

The video below shows the last attack in an 86 hit combo where 1,399, 945 points of damage are done. NIS America [...]
