Borne from the fiery loins of the devil, the main character of Makai Senki Disgaea is literally a lil' devil. When old Beezlebub croaks, the path of ascension to the throne is unclear and Satan's spawn Laharl must prove himself by taking on all ambitious rivals and pretenders to the throne.
Similar in design to games such as Final Fantasy Tactics, Ogre Battle and Hoshigami, characters battle enemies in 3-D isometric tactical theaters. Battles are turn-based where movement and attacks are selected from a menu. Conventional weaponry as well as magical spells may be used in the course of war and two comrades watch your back - a wispy devil girl named Etna (complete with forked tail) and a team of demon penguins known as Prinny join your party at the outset of the game. Additional soldiers and fighters may be created with Nippon Ichi's Free Character Creation System.
At the outset of the game, Etna bellows out in a loud voice to rouse Laharl who's sleeping soundly. After a short conversation, Laharl is free to explore Satan's lair which is populated with handlers of the demonic kind. Afterwards, Laharl ventures out into the world where the first encounter pits Laharl's party against cloaked enemies. Etna's Prinnies are in force even though she has to slap and even shoot one of them to make them behave. The PSP conversion of Disgaea includes a secret scenario and a multiplayer (ad hoc) mini-games such as Capture the Flag.
