Disgaea fans pay attention!
In January it was announced that Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, the very first part of the Disgaea series originally released for PlayStation 2 in 2003, would receive a remake.
Nintendo Switch release – Disgaea – Hour of Darkness
The Japanese magazine Dengeki PlayStation revealed that the remake will be called Disgaea Refine, and Nintendo Switch will arrive in Japan on 26 July.
Disgaea is a unique strategy RPG set in the demon-infested netherworld. Awoken after two years of sleep, Prince Laharl learns that his father, King Krichevskoy, has died and that the kingdom is now in full-scale civil war for power. Laharl, as the rightful heir to the throne, is not about to give up his birthright without a fight!
Overhauled and Better-Looking Graphics
The graphics of the Disgaea: Hour of Darkness released in 2003 have been remade in high-resolution, and optimized for PlayStation 4 and Switch. The graphics of the in-game characters are highly detailed and consistent with the series’ latest entry, Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance.
Nonstandard Combat and Growth, and Endless Completionist Elements
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness is the origin of the penetrating game systems and endless completionist elements that the series has become known for. Level up to 9,999, and the damage dealt by your attacks will also increase. Develop your characters and strengthen your weapons—the more you play this series, the more expansive the nature of the games become.
Charming Characters and a Nonsensical Story
Demons, Overlords, and Angels full of individuality doing as they please. In this game, you can enjoy a nonsensical and thrilling story where the protagonist Laharl, in order to become a great Overlord, leads his vassals Etna and Flonne into battle to reclaim the Overlord’s throne.
Nothing has yet been revealed about a release in the West.
