Disgaea 2 PC Review – Totally Addictive Dood!

<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; left&semi;">For a fan of the <em>Disgaea<&sol;em> franchise&comma; one of the best things that could have happened to the franchise is the new release of previous games on Steam&period; <em>Disgaea PC<&sol;em> was a rather large success &lpar;and allows PC gamers to get in on the <em>Disgaea<&sol;em> series&rpar; so <a href&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;nisamerica&period;com&sol;" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank" rel&equals;"noopener noreferrer">NIS America<&sol;a> is at it again with <em>Disgaea 2 PC<&sol;em>&period; <em>Disgaea 2 PC<&sol;em> offers content from both <em>Disgaea 2<&sol;em> and <em>Disgaea 2&colon; Dark Hero Days<&sol;em>&comma; while adding characters that never released in the West such as Gig&comma; Dark Éclair&comma; and Miabel&period; The <em>Disgaea<&sol;em> games are always full of content&comma; and <em>Disgaea 2 PC<&sol;em> is no exception&period; In this release&comma; fans are treated with hilarious and deep gameplay&period; If you are new to the Disgaea series&comma; but love Tactics and grid-based RPG’s then <em>Disgaea 2<&sol;em> PC will offer plenty for you to sink your teeth into&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The tale of <em>Disgaea 2 PC<&sol;em> begins with the Dark Overlord Zenon&period; The land has been cursed by Zenon&comma; slowly turning the world of Veldime into a dark Netherworld filled with demons and monsters&period; The only one unaffected is Adell&comma; a man who vows to destroy Zenon at any cost&period; Things never quite go as planned in <em>Disgaea<&sol;em> games though&comma; so Adell’s adventure becomes more wild and ridiculous as time goes on&period; <em>Disgaea<&sol;em> 2 PC offers 200 different character classes that you can acquire over the course of the game&period; This depth of character creation &lpar;combined with the reincarnation mechanic from the <em>Disgaea<&sol;em> franchise&rpar; makes for a near endless amount of party customization&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;117378" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-117378" style&equals;"width&colon;

Adell is joined by a cast of strange &lpar;and mostly hilarious&rpar; characters such as Rozalin&comma; the daughter of Overlord Zenon and Taro and Hanako&comma; Adell’s demonic siblings&period; These characters have unique abilities compared to created characters&comma; thus making them valuable for difficult fights&period; Characters from the original <em>Disgaea<&sol;em> return as well as characters from <em>Disgaea 3<&sol;em> and <em>Makai Kingdom<&sol;em> &lpar;another NIS game&period;&rpar; These characters were available in Dark Hero Days and can be unlocked in <em>Disgaea 2 PC<&sol;em> as well&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The Item World from the <em>Disgaea<&sol;em> series returns&comma; as well as Axel Mode from <em>Dark Hero Days<&sol;em>&period; The Item World allows you to strengthen your characters AND items by going through as many floors as you can to increase an item’s level and stats&period; Axel Mode is an alternative storyline that revolves around Axel&comma; a formerly famous demon action hero and rock star&period; Item World and Axel Mode aren’t the only mechanics that return from the series&comma; though&period; The Dark Assembly also returns&comma; allowing you to submit bills into legislation to unlock new classes&comma; get stronger or weaker enemies&comma; or even get better equipment in shops&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The Assembly also makes the Reincarnation mechanic available&period; Reincarnated characters start at level 1&comma; with a new class &lpar;if you choose&rpar; but retain some stats&comma; abilities&comma; and weapon mastery from their previous levels&period; Reincarnation and the Item world are what make the game so very immense&period; You could spend hours grinding&comma; getting better equipment&comma; making new characters&comma; and then grind some more&period; You could also do the bare minimum of grinding to get through the story&comma; though part of the fun is enjoying endgame content like The Land of Carnage which has some of the strongest enemies and bosses in the game&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;117379" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-117379" style&equals;"width&colon;

Combat plays out on a grid&comma; with your characters taking turns with the enemy team&period; This is just the bare bones of combat&comma; though&comma; as common <em>Disgaea<&sol;em> mechanics like geo panels can change battles drastically&period; Geo panels are colored points on the battlefield that provide positive or negative effects&period; Examples of Geo Effects are EXP&plus; 50&percnt; or Enemy Stats 50&percnt; but there are all kinds that can change the way battles unfold&period; The Item World is a great way to get a crash course on Geo Effects and managing them&comma; as almost every map in the Item World deals with Geo panels in some form&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Placing your units next to each other enables things called Team Attacks&comma; which may result in multiple characters attacking the enemy at the same time&period; Chain attacks are also possible if multiple characters attack the same enemy in a single turn&comma; increasing damage dealt&period; <em>Disgaea 2 PC<&sol;em> becomes a much more tactics and strategy-driven game with these things in mind&comma; especially in more difficult fights&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><em>Disgaea 2 PC<&sol;em> has quite a bit of grinding involved in it&period; Fans of the series know this and don’t necessarily mind&comma; but if you dislike grinding then the <em>Disgaea<&sol;em> franchise is probably not for you&period; Grinding actually serves a purpose in the <em>Disgaea<&sol;em> franchise&period; For those who are unaware&comma; leveling classes will unlock new versions of those classes&comma; not to mention getting to higher levels allows you to access more difficult areas which can lead to new classes&comma; content&comma; and even entirely new gameplay modes such as the previously mentioned Axel Mode&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The DLC &lpar;which comes standard in <em>Disgaea 2 PC<&sol;em>&rpar; requires characters of a high level&comma;

though this is a complaint with the series as a whole more than in <em>Disgaea 2 PC<&sol;em>&period; The Item world is a daunting task if you want to play in short bursts for that very reason&period; It seems strange that you can’t save in battle when most gamers are used to the modern mechanics of auto-saving and quick-saving&period; The only other issue I have with <em>Disgaea 2 PC<&sol;em> is the occasional crash to desktop&period; The crash seems to only happen upon removing and reusing a gamepad&comma; but it doesn’t happen every time or even all that often&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The crisp visuals of <em>Disgaea 2 PC<&sol;em> are very pleasing to both new players and fans of the series&period; Disgaea 2 PC’s graphics and art still are largely the same as the original game&comma; while getting an HD makeover for character art as well as refinements to the sprites and characters&period; In-game story content is voiced over &lpar;though the dialogue in hubs is not&rpar;
