Chapter 8 is really good, and not just the ending. Chapters 4 and 5 have so far been certainly the busiest, with prominence towards the end of chapter 5. In chapter 4, Lahral rescuing Flonne's pendant I didn't find character development, he did it just for the rewards I would say. The second is a little more interesting and has a serious ending giving a slight insight into Laharl. The first chapter is very light and plants some mysteries. It is inferior to the second game in practically every way, you can even enjoy this one more if you enjoy his comedy (which has more quantity and quality than the second) and / or if you like the characters and their interactions more.

For fans of the franchise, this is a title that should not be missed. I am also not a huge fan of SRPG games, but Disgaea 6 was quite the surprise. I have little exposure to the franchise, but this was such a great time. Also, the entire level-up mechanic does add some different strategies to implement which makes the game more fun in this regard.ĭisgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny was a fantastic experience.

The audio team did a great job creating tracks that fit the environments of each stage. Hats off to all those involved in the voice acting roles and production team. Fans of both languages will enjoy it as the voicework in both languages is done very well. The game also has English and Japanese voice acting with English subtitles.

Similar to other games with these options, resolution favors visual graphics, while performance mode favors the gameplay framerate.

Disgaea 6 includes new tweaks to the gameplay, such as the super reincarnation aspect which adds an entirely new element of strategy to the game and others.
