Makai Kingdom, released in Japan as Phantom Kingdom, is a strategic rpg released by my favorite Nippon Ichi. it follows the trials of overlord Zetta, the self proclaimed, the most bad ass overlord in the entire universe, and his attempts to get his body back and rebuild his Netherworld.

The story goes like this, Lord Zetta was known throughout the universe as the strongest overlord. However one day, when Pram the Oracle told him of a great cataclysm that would befall his netherworld. Zetta went to a library that held the sacred tome, an ancient book that could foretell the entire history of Zettas netherworld. On the way he was attacked by a being called Raiden, a powerful greater demon who was ordered by his master to kill Zetta. Zetta assumed that Raiden was the cataclysm that Pram foretold and defeated him in battle.

After words, he continued to the sacred tome to see if anything had changed. However, when he looked at the tome, it stated that his stupidity would be the thing to doom his netherworld. Enraged, he burned the book only to realize afterwords that burning the book will destroy his netherword. He saved himself by trapping his soul in the tome, but lost his body and Netherworld. Now he has to have other Overlords wish for new Netherworlds so he can conquer them and use them to rebuild his own Netherworld and get his body back.

Makai Kingdoms gameplay takes elements from both Disgea and Phantom Brave. Though it uses braves open movement and targeting system, and turns and attacks are resolved in the same ways as Disgea allowing attacks to become conbos. In the game players go to maps some of which are randomly generated and try and defeat all the enemies or get enough points to conquer the map,  by defeating anemies and collecting or destroying objects,at the end of the map players are rewarded

This is alot like Disgea and Phantom brave and if you played and liked either then this will be no different, the graphics are alot and almost the exact same as Phantom Brave and crisp and bright, the voice acting and soundtrack are awesome with the hilarious antics we come to find from the Disgea series and the catchy music is good aswell, This is a awesome game and like i said if your a fan of Nippon Ichi games or just like Disgea or phantom Brave.

I've never heard of this game but I admit I'm not that familiar with Nippon Ichi's output. Sounds pretty neat, though, and I love the sprites for the characters.

Nippon Ichi or NIS makes the Disgea, Phantom Brave, Ar Tonelico etc very desirable and hard to find games and by hard to find I mean gamestop etc, you can always find them online.
