Want to play with volatile Penguins?
Monday, August 11th, 2008Knock! Knock! Wake up Nintendo sweeties and welcome Disgaea on your DS later this year. Yes, you can now experience the adventure on your handheld. The role playing game not only has a host of terrific characters, but also has a plethora of gameplay elements which are unique and amusing. In the game you play the role of Laharl, a king’s son who wakes up from a 2 year old snooze only to discover that his father has died, and his throne and palace have been conquered by the demons.
Laharl along with Etna, another character, venture off to get back what rightfully belongs to him. The game has a bunch of deadly penguins that perform ballerina pirouettes and explode them when tossed. The game world has also been adapted from Disgaea 2, which is a PlayStation 2 game made by the same developers. The story consists mainly of fighting with a handful of dialogue in between. You can create your own customized person who can accompany you in the battlefield and that’s where the dark assembly comes into play.
Disgaea DS is akin to other strategic role-playing games where you plot, fix your characters and give them commands. However, it introduces geo panels on the battlefield where you can cover the terrain with special effects. This cute and funny game offers a great story, as well as immersive gameplay.
