Almost enough to make one quit video games entirely.
This was it: I had played the level six times already, and I knew I finally had it. Each prior attempt had employed a different, individual strategy, and they all had failed. But I had edged closer and closer to success. Now was the moment of truth: I instructed my units to move to the next space -- but the game suddenly froze! I pressed every button I could, hoping in vain to bring it back to life. I was the victim of a game-breaking bug. Angry and frustrated, I grudgingly reset the game. Oh and did I mention it was only the third level, and the difficulty was set on easy?
Haven’t I been here before, over and over again?
Just imagine that you’re one of the most unlucky people in the world for a moment, and you’re walking along and a cute girl asks if you want to have a free try with a small lottery machine. Now let’s say you win for the first time in your life, and that prize just happens to be a transformation into God. That’s how the story goes for Renya, and unfortunately, it’s the last bit of luck you see throughout the rest of the game.
In a complicated world of wacky demons, you sometimes feel right at home.
I would love to say that I’m a huge fan of the Disgaea series, however, I’ve never played a single title within the saga until Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness. If there was ever a game to make me fall in love with a series though; it would be this game. I entered this lengthy saga with my mind wide open, and I fell in love with a punishing and grindy game that continually made me go back for more. This colorful adventure (colorful in more ways than just its palette, I assure you) proves that a deep combat system coupled with childish and quirky humor can be crafted into something beautiful that will entertain for hours on end.
