The game Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness allows for multiple players. It is about The Netherworld, a cursed land where evil reigns and foul being dwell.

Prince Lahari claimed his rightful crown after his father’s death, so begins battles, wins and restored his throne. During the whole story, several unique characters appear, each has his important role: Etna, Vyers, Angel Trainee Flonne, Seraph Lamington, Archangel Vulcanus, Hoggmeiser, Gordon, Jennifer, and the robot Thursday. At the end, the Seraph accepts the version of events but he declares that Flonne must be punished because she fought against other angels, and turns her into a flower. Outraged at this injustice, Laharl attacks the Seraph, initiating the game’s final battle. The players will represent various characters, wherein the end will depend on the way the game was played. The Seraph may or may not survive, and Laharl either becomes a great Overlord or disappears.

    The 2003 PlayStation 2 game Disgaea has finally been released on the PSP that  features engaging gameplay, an immersive storyline and a game that is perfect for the console with its time constraint battles that make it perfect for the portable world. The wait is finally over, we’ll finally know who is the best strategist! With the all-new duel system developed specially for the US fans, Disgaea returns with a bang. If you thought customization is only for characters... Read more

    , these games look at the world with a male teen -oriented anime view of the world: everyone has a certain chibi look about them, many of the female characters are improbably clothed and impossibly proportioned ... all while being characterized as young teens. That, along with some minor blood and language, aims the game squarely at teens, and gets the game a T-rating and a GamerDad Age Seal of 14+. Yet this is another game I have let my 11 and almost-10 year old sons... Read more

    Navigating the PSP's large library of strategy RPG titles can be a daunting task. What with all the boxes cluttering retail shelves, all sporting bizarre names and even more bizarre sword-wielding anime-inspired characters, it's no wonder we're not? able to tell our Legend of Heroes from our Spectral Souls. And while few of these 40+ hour epics are true gaming gems (like Jeanne D'Arc),most (like Aedis Eclipse: Generation of Chaos) turn out to be sub-par time siphons. Read more

    Join the Disgaea War and get your life back! Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness tells the story of Prince Laharl and his outlandish group of misfits as he battles for ultimate rule over the Netherworld. Developed by the much-admired Nippon Ichi, Afternoon of Darkness follows in the steps of Makai Kingdom and Phantom Brave and the original Disgaea for PS2, of course, but this time around with PSP-specific features. A whole new story mode dedicated to Etna is the main draw,... Read more

    Strategy RPG fans rejoice! NIS' fantastic PS2 classic Disgaea: Hour of Darkness has made it's way onto the PSP, with a new subtitle (Afternoon of Darkness) and a new second storyline. What hasn't changed is the incredibly deep and addictive gameplay, as well as the darkly comic humor that this series has become known for. Read more

    "Afternoon of Darkness" is a great port of the original "Disgaea: Hour of Darkness". The Tactical Strategy/RPG genre lends itself extremely well to portable gaming due to the turn-based nature of the gameplay and Disgaea is certainly one of the very best in that class of games. A fascinating plot, likable characters, brilliant anime-parodying humor, and near infinite replay value made this game an instant underground classic the first time around. In the PSP version, NIS...
