Disgaea was originally a game that came out for the Playstation 2 in 2003. It became a favorite in the RPG genre because of it’s extremely funny story, cute graphics, and amazing game play. Now, four years later, we are given a sequel that belongs in anybody PSP users collection that enjoys RPG games. There is a nice story mode, beautiful graphics and presentation, and even an enjoyable multiplayer mode, which gives this game a ton of replayability.
The gameplay is divided up into a series of chapters that each has their own goal. Between each fight you will return to your citadel to heal, get new items, and purchase gear. Also you can go back to any of your previous battles to play them over again. One of my favorite features about this game is there is no (I believe) level cap. Most rpg’s will cut you off at 100 levels but Disgaea will allow you to reach thousands of them.
Combat is where you will spend most of your time. Combat in Disgaea is turn based and you will always have the first turn. You move your units and position them, then it’s your enemies turn. It is even possible to perform combo attacks if you have allies adjacent to another when they execute attacks.
Character creation is also a lot of fun. Besides the story characters that join your party you can create new characters by spending the mana that you get from winning fights against your enemies. There is a vast number of choices you can make in their classes. You can possibly even create an “ultimate warrior” by transmigrating old characters into new ones.
Regular gameplay should take roughly 30 to 40 hours and from there you have a ton more things you can do. There are different endings, optional bosses, and extra areas. There is even an item world which is exactly what it’s name is, a world inside of your items.
The multiplayer mode is also very fun where you can trade items with friends and war each others armies.
This game is a ton of fun and I highly recommend playing it.
