Snack 'n' Slash

The princess needs her pudding! But nothing's simple in the Netherworld. She'll need a hardy mercenary to mow down monsters and secure her dessert if she's to enjoy her culinary delights.

That's where you come in. As N.A., you'll need to level up, recruit demons, and pass bills at the Dark Chocolate Assembly to make sure you have what it takes to fight your own battles. That's right—for the first time ever, Disgaea has Magichanged into an action RPG!

Playing Disgaea Mayhem almost feels like peeking into an alternate universe where NIS’ flagship series began life as an action RPG, rather than a tactical one. Plenty of the franchise’s iconic, over-the-top RPG systems are present and accounted for, and they graft surprisingly well onto Mayhem’s core hack-and-slash loop.
The problem is that said loop isn’t fleshed out nearly enough, with shallow and repetitive combat that loses its lustre quickly. Couple that with a forgettable story and a bizarrely short runtime, and Disgaea Mayhem barely ends up making much of an impression at all. It’s an interesting novelty, but I’m fine staying in the timeline where Disgaea keeps tactical battles as its bread and butter.

5/10
