NIS America's forthcoming Disgaea DS is a port of the PSP title Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, which was released in 2007-and was itself a port of the original Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (for the Playstation 2). That's right-we're talking about a handheld port of a handheld port of a PS2 game that came out five years ago.
When you say it all at once like that, it sounds…well, it doesn't sound like good news, does it? But here's the kicker-this game seems to actually get better each time it's ported. When Disgaea made the jump to the handheld PSP, it busted out with fresh ad-hoc multiplayer, a spiffy new widescreen presentation, and an entirely new alternate story mode. In a touch of typical Nippon Ichi Software weirdness, the alternate mode assumes that the main character is accidentally killed during the game's opening sequence, thus turning over the entire narrative to a hitherto supporting character!"
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.
