After approximately a two week delay in comparison to PAL regions, Nippon Ichi Software America have proudly announced that Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness has finally hit North American store shelves. Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness brings back the popular trio from the first game: Laharl, Etna, and Flonne. With a completely new storyline, it offers game system refinements that they hope shall entice new players, while still offering the same kind of hardcore, over-the-top, endless gameplay that longtime fans should be familiar with.
The Netherworld – a place where might makes right and today’s friends are tomorrow’s enemies. After a long journey with many ups and downs, Laharl finally finds himself as a full-fledged Overlord. However, the other denizens of the Netherworld do not see him as such, so he sets out on a journey with his loyal(!?) vassals to receive the respect he deserves. Along the way, Laharl will meet a girl who claims to be his sister, fight demons with bigger than usual chips on their shoulders, and find out that even his own body holds a few surprises for him…
