Our take on NOMAD
The permanent-death structure keeps each attempt focused on immediate shooting, chicken catching, and gold gathering, but it gives up the continuity of a conventional campaign. Character unlocks and customization remain, while the run itself ends with each death.
What is NOMAD?
NOMAD is a desert shoot-'em-up built around catching chickens while fighting local enemies.
Gold found during a run can be kept, but each attempt ends with the character's death. Enemies use behavior intended to test shooting skill rather than overwhelm the screen through sheer numbers. Runs also include perks and abilities, along with unlocks and character customization. The game uses low-resolution pixel artwork with procedural animation. Its structure centers on repeating attempts: catch as many chickens as possible, gather gold, use available abilities, and continue until the run ends.
