Spanning over four major numbered games alongside several portable console ports and spin-off titles… Nippon Ichi Software’s Disgaea series is not just an SRPG but one of the big SRPG’s on the market – with its hundreds of hours of gameplay filled with randomly generated dungeons, insane damage/character levels, comical storylines and (in Disgaea 3 and 4) online features which add another layer to replayability.
Thanks to Udon Entertainment, you can return to the Netherworld with DISGAEArt!!! Disgaea Official Illustration Collection! Compiling over 600 illustrations including character designs, box art, advertisements, pin-ups, short comics, and much more from all four flagship Disgaea video games. Primarily featuring the artwork of Takehito Harada, character designer for the Disgaea series, DISGAEArt!!! collects concept art, cutscenes, and an assortment of illustrations from the Disgaea universe, allowing fans to track the development of beloved characters from 2003’s Disgaea: Hour of Darkness all the way to 2011’s Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten.
The collection then goes even further, revealing rare materials from the entire world of Disgaea, including artwork from novels, soundtracks, manga, DVD packaging, telephone cards, and even more – you’ll have to see it to believe it! An extensive index wraps up this collection, pointing out where every illustration made its original appearance!
