Final Fantasy Tactics may have birthed the (sub)genre, but Disgaea triggered a tactical role-playing renaissance. A new generation rallied behind its combination of hilarity and unbelievably deep tactical gameplay. Fuelled by the success on PSP developer NIS America hopes to bring more players into the fold with a new DS iteration. Disgaea DS updates the PSP release with new touch controls, additional characters, and a tweaked presentation.
From Boltrend Games, a team known for their RPGs, comes a new version of Nippon Ichi Software’s excellent Disgaea franchise, Disgaea RPG. This represents the sixth in the Disgaea series. A turn-based title, based on the anime and RPG series, sees the return of Prince Lahari, Angel Fionne, and Vassal Etna. They go on an all-new adventure filled with both joy and sadness while travelling Earth and the Netherworld. Help them pass the Netherworld with care, as everyone’s moral compasses are known to be skewed.
Today on COG Considers, we talk about cute demons doing hilariously evil things. Seriously, why do we love evil protagonists so much?
Disgaea main characters evil? Uh...Dood, the power of love and teaching compassion is pretty much the staple of this series. These aren't evil Diablo demons. This is a series that constantly pushes coexist with creatures from all realms living the life they were born into to the best of their ability. Any "evil" from the cast is purely slapstick and nothing more.
Except for Midboss, that guy is evil. Laharl was just a 1313 year old kid with Mommy issues.
Since 2003, NIS has been giving people a way to help groups of antiheroes accomplish goals of varying degrees of morality. With new versions and iterations arriving every few years, someone might wonder how they could hop into these strategic scenarios. Well, if people check out this guide, they might find a way to make the Netherworld your new second home.
Sounds like it's coming together well. I'm knee deep in Tactics A2 and it'll be nice to continue the srpg ways with Disgaea as well ^^
