It’s intricate, complex, rewarding, and always addictive. It keeps you coming back for more because you simply must power up just a little more. It’s the hook that makes it dangerous for me to play any Disgaea game, damnit.
The best in the series since DISGAEA HOUR OF DARKNESS on the DS. Hope it gets a Wii U port. This game easily gets the series back on its feet after the last two games started losing what made DISGAEA DISGAEA.
This game is the reason that I own a Playstation 3 and the reason I will buy a Playstation 4. This tactical strategy game offers an infinite gaming opportunity in the form of random dungeons and a reincarnation system that means that you can repeat the process as many times as you like. The difficulty is also completely malleable and tailored to your own personal level. It is easy enough for a child to learn and play, but hard enough for a chess master to strain their abilities to stay alive.
Is this the perfect game? For some yes. The 2 dimensional manga style graphics will not appeal to some and the Manga style humor may not appeal to everyone (Luckily you can simply skip it all and focus entirely on the gameplay)
D2 takes the very best from its predecessors and adds suggestions from the fan-base to fine tune the system. Simple things like the ability to separate your team into premade groups so that you don’t have to waste time searching for them in a list. Enjoyable fight cut-scenes that you can turn off in the main menu, or if you prefer just skip them with a simple push of a button as they are performing them. There is even a character in your home base that allows you to change the percentage of experience or money you will obtain as well as cranking up the difficulty by not allowing you to ‘cancel’ an attack order for a wonderfully hardcore experience.
If you enjoy tactical strategy games you will not be disappointed.
Disgaea D2 remains exactly where Disgaea 4 stands. With a few innovations and some missing elements, D2 delivers the hundreds of hours you can expect from the franchise, but a forgettable story and well known but old mechanics can't fully satisfy.
Disgaea D2 retrieves the elements of classic gameplay of the series by offering a very tight chapter: the most inaccessible. The result is a fitting title almost exclusively to fans.
D2 is the best Disgaea published. I am fully ready to accept it as the true heir of Disgaea. D2 returns to the absurd character of Disgaea. The banter is amusing again. The mechanics are easy to use and difficult to master.
Nippon Ichi has removed many barriers that interfered with enjoying the Disgaea series: promotion to next rank no longer requires reincarnation. Weapon skills are earned instead of earned and purchased (ala 2-4). You now choose a mage's or witch's elemental forte instead of rolling and re-rolling the dice. All this allows you to spend less time in menus and more in battle or dialogue.
In short, D2 is just different enough, having made the changes that matter and undone a few mistakes, D2 is a gem.
A complete quality of life upgrade over its predecessors. Staff weapons have been completely rebalanced to make magic users dangerous in a fight. Apprentices can now be swapped around at will making it much easier to get the spells you want on the character you want. You can now promote a character to their next rank without reincarnating them. Evilities are now decided when the character is created allowing you to choose one of three depending on your play style.
The new weapon, the book, takes the place of the staff as a weak melee weapon, but it provides the user with powerful summon spells.
The story begins right where Disgaea 1 left off, but you shouldn't feel like you need to have played the first game, since the entire game is just an upgraded version of the ones before it.
My Rank for Disgaea PS3 is 1. Disgaea 4 , 2. Disgaea D2, 3. Disgaea 3
Disgaea 4 interesting story and great skill lving, Disgaea D2 best graphic and mechanical battle but meh story, Disgaea 3 for story and character but dull fight.
Critic Review. 71/100. Its a good game for a JRPG and is really worth it if you like the disgaea series, but the movement of the characters is a bit unusual. The characters feet are not even going with the floor. Other than that, it is not bad at all.
Rating: 71/100
This DlSGAEA title was born & died on the PS3, so l never played it at the time, but now that I have played it, l understand why; most of it is basically filler content & fan-service; XEN0LlTH, the central villain of the plot is just the opposite of what a villain should be— by being heroic to the point of protecting strangers with nothing to gain in return, he is also humble, cordial, kind, well educated, & very polite despite being a demon, in fact, even Laharl is far more villain material than XEN0LlTH; the plot denotes how poorly written the same is, basically things happen just because, like Laharl temporarily turning into a girl without any explanation of why, & later after performing a concert as a girl, he returns to normal without any explanation— {100% fan-service}; all the exclusive characters of the title, with the exception of XEN0LlTH & SlClLY, are just copy-pastes of generic characters with a palette swap or the addition of simple things, such as— "a more mature body", glasses, a hat, etc— on them! So— yup; it was a very lazy title—!! ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Although— at least the typical DlSGAEA humor & gameplay is also present in it— but updated regarding the ones of PS2.
SummaryThe Netherworld - a place where might makes right and today's friends are tomorrow's enemies. After a long journey with many ups and downs, Laharl finally finds himself as a full-fledged Overlord. However, the other denizens of the Netherworld do not see him as such, so he sets out on a journey with his loyal(!?) vassals to receive the r...
