Project Nomads demo

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Though it includes elements of imaginative games such as Sacrifice and Giants: Citizen Cabuto, Project Nomads has the heart of a simple shoot-'em-up. You manage a small floating island besieged by a relentless enemy. At the start of the game, you collect powerful artifacts and use them to build a watchtower, a headquarters, and a few defensive towers. After that, the enemy fighters arrive. At that point it's time to jump into a gun tower and start shooting, pausing only to run around repairing your damaged buildings. You can build planes of your own and attack the enemy's bases, but your planes are so weak, your only hope is to launch one kamikaze after another, wearing down the enemy's defenses. The graphics look outdated, the controls are noncustomizable, and the key layout is hard to master. We admire Project Nomads' ambition, but its mediocre gameplay keeps us from giving it more than a lukewarm recommendation.

Publisher's description

From CDV Software :

Catastrophe, part one: the planet of the Nomads explode. Catastrophe, part two: only a few survivors drift on flying islands through time and space. However, the catastrophe has its advantages. A fascinating world of airy heights has come into being. Your selected character--beautiful Susie, clever John, or strong Goliath--has survived. You have a task: destroy the creators of the catastrophe as well as other scum. Get ready for the final show. Use magic objects to turn your island into a powerful battle giant loaded with weapons.
