Disgaea DS gets European release date News

DS News by Robert Purchese

11 February, 2009

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.

As I could never get hold of the PSP version, this is a nailed-on buy. Got to finish FFTA2 and Chrono Trigger quick!

This spells trouble, like carrying the gaming equivalent of crack in your pocket!

Not for me. It didnt feel as polished as the other versions (the frame rate felt iffy to me).

Loved it on the PS2 though, 120 hours back in the day.

This. Is. A. Bad. Game.

Ya, imported it on the hopes of it being a nice rpg/strategy game with some funky humor. After 11 hours of grinding enemies with just a few really interesting encounter designs I was fed up and picked up Advance Wars DS again. Disgaea was what it took to realise just how good ID is at creating good combat.

Mind you, it did give me quite a few chuckles on the trip to boredom.

Edit: Posting this not just to boast my ego but to hear from fans what is interesting about the game.

Imported this months ago. As did pretty much everyone else who wanted it, I imagine, seeing as it's cheaper to import than it will be to buy here in the UK. Why wait longer and pay more?
