IGN Hands-on: Disgaea DS Preview

IGN writes: "The quirkiest strategy RPG around is finally hitting Nintendo's portable this September. Disgaea DS is essentially a port of the PSP's Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, which itself was a reworking of the original PlayStation 2 game Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (got it?). The Disgaea universe is filled with wacky characters, colorful anime art, and some of the most hardcore turn-based strategy around. The series has been adapted for the DS stylus and dual screens, and developer Nippon Ichi has even added a couple new characters and features to the game.

Players take on the role of the demon Laharl, son of the deceased King Krichevskoy. In the King's absence the Netherworld has fallen into chaos, and Laharl must build an army, slay his foes, and become the next king."

Disgaea main characters evil? Uh...Dood, the power of love and teaching compassion is pretty much the staple of this series. These aren't evil Diablo demons. This is a series that constantly pushes coexist with creatures from all realms living the life they were born into to the best of their ability. Any "evil" from the cast is purely slapstick and nothing more.

Except for Midboss, that guy is evil. Laharl was just a 1313 year old kid with Mommy issues.
