She’s direct and thinks the best of people.”īy “Sepp”, they mean that she is a member of the race of anthropomorphized cow people that exists in the world of SnatWE. She has a tough time remembering names, and hates putting too much effort into thinking about anything. “Oddly vital” is a way of describing how Layna is still alive after 200 years that amuses me, for some reason.ĭanette: “A Sepp girl who has lived with the hero under Layna’s protection since the age of 7. He’s cocky and smug, and all he wants is a physical form of his own.” Eventually, he fused with the hero, thanks to the oddly vital Layna.

The game’s manual claims that the story can branch in a number of ways, but on my playthrough, the only branches I saw were marked with a skull and crossbones indicating that using Gig’s power in those choices gets you a bad ending. This explains how, if you misuse Gig’s power, you will be punished in some way. “Use his power to slay the mighty World Eaters, but don’t get carried away…” “The God of Death is back, and he’s looking for trouble!” They’re talking about Gig. “Some people just aren’t fit to play god,” declares the back cover blurb. The cover is decent from a design standpoint, but doesn’t really convey the turn-based feel of the game or the real depth of its story. The background looks like a destroyed village with a hellish crimson laid over it. To his right is a black sword with a somewhat fanciful-looking hilt and a rune-etched blade.

Nippon Ichi Soft has rereleased and remade some of their older games, even more than once, but they’ve never rereleased SNatWE.
