Story
The Netherworld - a place darker than a pitch-black cave, located deeper than
the depth of the seas. It is a cursed land where evil reigns and foul beings
dwell. Nobody knows its whereabouts, but everybody fears its existence...
The story takes place two years after the death of King Krichevskoy, the
ruler of the Netherworld. His son Laharl slept for two full years, unaware of
his father's death, while demons fought for supremacy over the Netherworld. With
the help of his subordinate Etna and her underlings, the egocentric,
megalomaniac Prince Laharl fights his way to become the next king.
"Disgaea: Hour of Darkness combines a compelling gothic narrative with a
comical twist." said Yu Namba, Project Leader at Atlus. "With its breathtaking
spells and innovative new strategy elements, Disgaea will be the must play
