I have to admit I am a Disgaea: Hour of Darkness junkie, even though I’ve beaten the first game to a pulp I was still playing it and thoroughly enjoying it three years later. Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories works along the same game principals of the original game, turn based battles and LOTS of configuring and specializing makes this game feel more like two separate games than one. I love the convoluted and extensive Item World maps (think dungeons in any other RPG) I love the fact that you can unlock secret levels and characters. I’ve heard that people complain about how old fashioned the animation is, I like just as it is, sometimes its nice to play a game you can recognize and not have to worry about being irritated by the distracting upgrades. That was the good, now for the not so great, the camera control in Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories is clunky and at times cumbersome. The battles can get repetitive and I find that the colors in the Item World can be a bit jarring but all in all I loved the original I love the sequel and I am very happy that Nippon Ichi has put out another game I can and do get lost in…Read full review
It's hard not to love Disgaea 2 if you love games in the style of Final Fantasy Tactics- or basically any other game with "Tactics" in the title. Or if you love the original Disgaea, for that matter. Rather than play as a Demon as you did in the original game, you take the role of Adell, the only remaining human in a world transformed by the Demon Overlord Zenon. Intent on defeating the Overlord and restoring his family's humanity, conscience and memories, Adell tries to summon Zenon, only to wind up with his daughter Rozalin instead. Promising to return her to her father unharmed, Adell sets out to find Zenon- not as easy as it sounds... (If you're wondering about the cast of the original Disgaea, no worries. You'll see them again!) The game is funny and fun. The story and characters are engaging, and the voice acting is appropriately light in tone- yes, it's a lighthearted Demon World! The Prinnies- demonic penguins who end every sentence in "dood" and explode when thrown!- are as much fun to have around as ever. And the new cast members have every bit as much personality, humor, and depth as the returning favorites. The gameplay is pretty much as deep as you want to make it, too- there is literally an optional dungeon for every item you ever find or buy! As with other strategy-RPGs your characters gain experience levels as they fight, but unlike most games the upper level limit is 9,999. If that sounds like more work than fun, you can pretty much play through the regular game without worrying about any of this- it's as much or as little challenge as you want. Nice touch! This is a great game- it's funny, it's involving, and if you explore all the multiple endings and optional areas you'll definitely get your money's worth.Read full review
Disgaea 2 takes everything that made the first such a sleeper hit and makes it far better. There is not only much more to do including a harder dark world version of every regular story level, but the character models are more detailed, the moves have all been changed or had more explosions added to them, and the new human and monster classes are great. The addition of felonies your character can earn to make them better plus an item world that actually has variety added in such as random pirate attacks and much more makes this game mindblowingly addictive. Be warned this game is a level grinder which means you spend your time leveling everything up, your characters (up to 9999), your ability to use weapons, the abilities you can use with those weapons, the weapons themselves and the attachments called innocents that are on the weapons. This is for lovers of in depth strategy rpgs only. The story is probably the only part that is lacking (in my opinion) in comparison to the first. The fact that you can reincarnate as a prinny aka an explosive penguin, more than makes up for it though(dood?).Read full review
