Disgaea DS gets European release date

By Robert Purchese Published 11 February, 2009

Strategy RPG here in early April.

Square Enix plans to put Disgaea DS in PAL palms from 3rd April.

As it's a conversion of Hour of Darkness for PS2, fans can expect a largely unchanged medley of acclaimed strategy and role-playing, plus all the usual quirks and humour.

But there are new bits: a Wi-Fi multiplayer duel system, or the ability to connect to and trade items with friends. Geo Cubes are there, too, and these can enhance abilities, summon monsters or even attack enemies - adding another layer of cerebral depth.

America got its hot-dog fingers on Disgaea DS last August and squirted out a good reception: Metacritic says 81 per cent.

You can expect our thoughts closer to launch.

Until then, head over to our Disgaea DS gallery for the freshly-released batch of screenshots.
