This is a strategy role-playing game in which players control a group of characters on a quest to bring order to the Netherworld. From a 3/4–overhead perspective, players use swords, axes, and magic spells to engage monsters and human-like characters in turn-based combat (e.g., selecting attacks/weapons from a menu screen). Battles are accompanied by light effects, slashing sounds, and cries of pain; enemies disappear when defeated. One special attack depicts a bullet striking an enemy’s head, which is accompanied by slow-motion and X-ray effects. A few cutscenes depict brief stylized blood effects (e.g., an armored knight emitting blue droplets after getting impaled; the silhouette of blood splatter after a character is struck).
During the course of the game, some of the dialogue includes suggestive comments (e.g., “You’ve earned the right to be called a pervert, by sneaking around and peeping on us,” “I just love it when men do things that constitute sexual harassment,” and “You’re so flat, they use your chest to measure if a shelf is straight!”). The game also contains a brief drug reference (e.g., “If you inhale my dust, you’ll get really happy. It might even make you feel like you can fly . . . Just say no, kids! Bad! Bad drugs!”). The words “sh*t,” “a*s,” and “b*tch” can be heard in dialogue.
Two new characters and four new scenarios have been added to the game, and the downloadable content from the original PlayStation 3 version will be present as well. Nippon Ichi have also reportedly modified the character portraits to appear similar to those of Disgaea 4’s.
One title is an action RPG with 3D graphics and full polygons. This title is being made by the Prinny: Can I Really be the Hero? group. We’ll hear more about this title in a month. The Disgaea team is also working on a new title using their know how with internet connectivity and experience from Disgaea 4. A famous illustrator is working with them as a character designer. System Prisma, makers of the ClaDun games, is also working on a new title. Dengeki PlayStation did not specify platforms for these titles.
The fourth title is a popular Nintendo 3DS game overseas will be released in Japan. Cave Story 3D, perhaps? As of now it has not been announced for Japan and NIS America is tied to it.
