Disgaea: Hour of Darkness!

Okay i've played quite a few different games lately and haven't said much of anything at length about any of them because, frankly, most are mediocre at best.

i've not played this but an hour so far and i love it.

D:HoD is a turned based strategy game very similiar, of course, to Tactics Ogres and Final Fantasy Tactics and (I assume) FFT2.

but.... it's kind of like saying Final Fantasy and Shadowrun are the same. they are simply very different, just having the similiar theemes.

D:HoD is quirky as all hell, too.

You play a demon prince who's father died the day he took a nap. . . two years ago and now several demons are racing to take control.

sounds kinda dark and clicheish, eh?

enter demonic machate carrying penguins.

yes. Demonic Machate Carrying Penguins!

this is one tiny part that proves this game is trying hard to be unique. it is a cute anime style, yet dark storied game with a -very- deep battle system so far.

the damage done seems to be similiar to all the crazy ass high number damage you deal out on the Tales series by Namco. you can do major, major combos and such similiar to Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth (for the one other person out there who may have played it like I) where you line up characters and enemies to have a massive damage dealing combo. They can range from easy to insanely difficult to pull off but they always fuckin rock.

The graphics are very nice 2d. very detailed and the voice acting is good.

I would go aa bit further to tell ya about it but I am getting veeeery tired. So guys, we have Final Fantasy Tactics 2 coming in two weeks (roughly) but if you want another great tactics game, get this….. D:HoD is fucking killer so far.

A LOT better than the last Arc The Lad; which was good but uh. Boring….
