It only took 10 years, but Laharl, Etna, and Flonne are finally reunited and it was totally worth the wait. Disgaea D2 continues the capers of the original trio while delivering the same social-life-threatening grind of fighting, looting, and leveling the franchise is known for. All the over-the-top, prinny-tossing, tower-attacking mayhem is here, and the banter between the main characters is the best it’s been since the series began. What's more, the new monster mounts and Demon Dojo systems open up the already voluminous combat options, making Disgaea D2 a bottomless, color-soaked pit of endless depth that I was happy to tumble down.
The Netherworld’s most dastardly demons are up to no good again, and the story is so much the better for it. For a series that’s so consistently meaty in terms of gameplay, Disgaea has felt surprisingly off its game since it moved on to tell new stories with different characters, and the positive impact of the original cast’s return can be felt immediately. The writing is snappy, silly, and deliciously mischievous. The whole voice cast sounds like they’re having a blast, but Etna’s anime episode parodies really steal the show, firmly cementing the same self-aware anime campiness that made the original a classic.
