User blog:TheBlueRogue/Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness Review Roundup

Laharl, Etna, and Flonne are back in the sequel to the original Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. Laharl has finally been crowned Overlord of his Netherwold and has taken his father's place on the throne. However, with a lack of respect from other demons and a rebel demon faction trying to usurp him, his challenges are just beginning. Disgaea D2 returns with the classic strategy RPG gameplay the series has known for, but with plenty of new editions.

Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness is out and the reviews are in. What did you think of this most recent installment? Let us know in the comments!

8/10
===="It's a tad easier than previous games, but it also unmistakeably requires a good amount of series knowledge to really get into it and appreciate the characters. But I do have good news -- if you want more Disgaea, this delivers."====

8/10
===="Even Disgaea fans who didn't enjoy the original game will find plenty to like here. It may not quite reach the lofty heights of Disgaea 4, but Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness still manages to be one of the brightest entries in the series."====

7.5/10
===="A Brighter Darkness is more than passable, but it’s not my favorite. Compared to Disgaea 4’s ambition and heart, it is a letdown. Disgaea 4 took the series to new places, opening up multiplayer and community, but A Brighter Darkness doesn’t do anything as impressive. This is even more disappointing if you are a fan anticipating a reunion with beloved characters."====

7/10
===="A compulsive SRPG fan’s dream come true, perhaps to a greater extent than ever before. If you can accept lackluster narrative in exchange for a fresh excuse to lose hundreds of hours wandering the Netherworld, you won’t do better."====
