The challenge in defeating them comes from either destroying them with pure brute force, or by overcoming/manipulating the Geo system to your advantage. Sadly, the AI is oft-considered to be less than stellar: with few exceptions, the enemy will simply wait until you're within move-attack range, then gang up on the weakest/most threatening (it seems to vary) character, with absolute disregard to who among their team may be caught in the area of effect. There are two ways to pass bills by an unfriendly assembly: bribing members with items or killing dissenters. Unfortunately, the Dark Assembly is rarely cooperative.
The game features the Dark Assembly, a legislative group with the power to pass bills with a variety of effects, such as increasing/decreasing the strength of enemies, adding to the shop's selection, or granting bonuses for the next battle. One of the suggestions in the tutorial is to surround and pummel the enemy. Another defining feature is the emphasis on playing dirty. Disgaea has a feature called transmigration, which allows a character to be "reborn" with higher base stats and, if you wish, a new class. A huge amount of ground can be covered by stacking your characters and throwing them in a chain. Enemies can be thrown at each other to combine them into one more powerful enemy and ally characters can be thrown to cover longer distances. One of the defining features is the ability to pick up and throw characters. The vocals were also removed from several of the ending themes in the English sound mode, and can be heard by switching to the Japanese mode.)ĭisgaea: Hour of Darkness has a very unique style of gameplay. (Along these lines, it should be noted that, if English voiceovers are selected, a particular sound track is used in one level that would not be used if Japanese voiceovers were selected: The Invasion from Within, by Tsunami Bomb. In all cases, the dialogue, with voice-acting used much of the time (English and Japanese are available), is witty and fairly well-written and voiced. Also, the story often diverges into sometimes outright weird segments (for those who have played some of the way through the story: baseball. Some of the dialogue is self-referential, and some breaks the fourth wall with no discernible shame ("Level 4000?!"). In truth, with few exceptions (the normal endings being notable exceptions), the characters and story don't take themselves very seriously.
After falling asleep for two years, he learns of his father's death and sets out to seize the now-chaotic Netherworld by force, with the help of his vassal, Etna.īesides the fact that you ostensibly play as a cold-hearted little bastard of a demon (and he is), this story may seem fairly typical. Disgaea: Hour of Darkness is the story of Prince Laharl, son of King Krichevskoy and heir to the throne of the Netherworld.
