Disgaea Infinite Is A Visual Novel Starring A Prinny

Nippon Ichi unveiled Disgaea Infinite and it isn’t a strategy RPG. Actually, it isn’t even a RPG, it’s a visual novel with a time loop feature.

 

Disgaea Infinite borrows the gameplay system from Infinite Loop, a Japan-only text adventure game Nippon Ichi developed for the PSP, and stars characters from the Disgaea universe. Laharl, Etna, Flonne, Mao, and Raspberyl are in the game.

 

But, none of them are the lead character. The story is about one Prinny’s long day trying to solve an attempted murder mystery. This particular Prinny gains the power to possess other characters and hear their thoughts, abilities the Prinny will need to use to find the truth.

 

Disgaea Infinite will be on the PlayStation Store just in time for the PSPgo’s launch in Japan on November 1. The downloadable game will cost 2,500 yen ($27).

    This looks nifty. Any chance NISA will bring it over on UMD? I like visual novels, and Prinnies.

    You know when I heard the other day this was a visual novel, I was kind of “meh” but seeing the video it looks like it’s just going to be a series of the great Disgaea cut scenes, minus grinding/gameplay. Which you know what, I think might be pretty fun! Hooray Disgaea!

    I hope NISA brings this over… at least as a digital release! I enjoy visual novels and the story in the Disgaea series, and it’s nice for once to see a story without having to play through all the stages (I am a lazy person)

    Yeah Nippon Ichi should try to consider it, like mentioned already a PSN release wouldnt’ be too risky (just perhaps a lot to translate). Plus it’s Disgaea so perhaps it’ll have a hard time bombing in the US/EU.

  • eliel

    this doesn’t really appeal to me at all i don’t really know wat a visual novel is, but it looks like no gameplay and also point click and read……

    • QBasic

      Please do go ahead and attempt more research before you start bitching and moaning about something you yourself admit you have no idea what it is…

      • eliel

  • nyoron

  • meganeshounen

    …Why does this game remind me of Higurashi Naku Koro ni/When They Cry, but with Disgaea characters?
