Some of the key features for Disgaea 2 include the option for the player to choose form over 200 character classes to build their party. There is also a “Dark Court” system, this system punishes good deeds and rewards evil ones. There will also be an “item world” that allows players to customize their gear. When it comes to combat, stacking attacks is an option in Disgaea 2. There will also be a number of other game modes the player can indulge in, these include: “Dark World” a hardcore setting where attacks do massive damage, “Axel Mode” where the player has to make an attempt at getting the washed up rock star of Disgaea, Axel, his popularity back, and “Land of Carnage” where you face off against a series of high level. A summary of Disgaea 2‘s premise can also be seen on the game’s Steam Page.
