Disgaea: Hour of Darkness

The Underworld ( Eng. The Netherworld ) - a place covered with darkness, a place darker than a black hole , a place that is located in the depths of the depths of the seas. This is a damned land where evil reigns and where the most terrible and dirty creatures live. No one knows where it is, but everyone is afraid of it ...

The story begins with the scene of the rise of Laharl. Etna, one of his subjects, stands opposite him and shoots from everything that is possible in order to wake Laharl with a sound. After Laharl finally wakes up, she explains to him that while he was sleeping for 2 years, his father, King Krichevskoy, died. Laharl decides to become Lord of Netherworld . After a little consultation with Etna and other subjects, they gather on their way to Vyers Castle

After defeating the demon Vaers, who called himself Dark Adonis and was immediately renamed Laharl into Mid-Boss, Laharl meets Angel Trainee Flonne. Flonne was sent to Netherworld by Seraph Lammington, ruling Celestia, to kill King Krichevsky (who had already died). Shocked by the fact that Laharl does not care about the death of his father, the cheerful Flonne joins Laharl to find out if the demons are capable of love. However, they are watched by the Archangel Vulcanus, who perceives Flonn's actions as a conspiracy against him.

After Etna asks Laharl to give out the salary of the Prinnies she hired, he decides to attack the demon with a fat wallet nearby. It turned out to be the Hoggmeiser (Hoggmeiser) living in the Dinero Palace (Dinero Palace). After the Hogmeiser lost, Laharl is about to kill him, but suddenly the Hoggmeiser’s son runs out of nowhere. He asks Laharl not to kill his father, Flonn also convinces Laharl not to do this. In the end, Laharl takes the money and Hoggmeiser joins him.

One day, Flonne and Etna find a photo with Laharl, captured in something extremely funny. Laharl refers to this as a Paparazzi shot. What is most interesting is that the photograph itself is never shown. There are two popular theories :

• The fact that Laharl did something sexy , or something very good.
• It is also possible that he changed into women's clothing.

On the back of the photograph it says that copies of these photographs will be distributed throughout Netherworld if it does not accept the call. In general, Laharl was blackmailed . If you walk around the castle, you will find that one of the demons says:

“- I didn’t think you could do that ♥”

Laharl resolves to this challenge. He meets Maderas, a vampire . The vampire was expelled by King Krichevsky for stealing the King’s favorite delicacy - black pretzels. Maderas uses his two biggest weaknesses against Laharl - kindness and women with sexy bodies. Also, Maderas controlled Etna's mind by stealing her memory . He forced her to kill the prince, but she poisoned him to sleep 2 years. Ultimately, Etna betrays Maderas.

Later, Flonne wakes up at night and sees several Prigny singing, leaving the castle. Laharl, worried that his reputation would be tarnished if it is discovered, leaves the castle and sets off after Prince. As a result, he faces Death and we learn that Big Sis Prinny is , in fact, the mother of Laharl. She became Prianny because she gave her life to save her son ...

After Laharl becomes the Lord of Hell (The Netherworld), he meets several people from Earth. Gordon, Defender of Earth (Gordon, Defender of Earth), Jennifer (Jennifer), his assistant, and their robot Thursday (Thursday). Gordon thought his mission was to kill Laharl by preventing the demons from attacking Earth . Laharl promises not to invade Earth if Gordon defeats him or Gordon becomes one of his subjects in case of loss. Gordon is losing. After the Earth Defense Force appears in Netherworld, it becomes clear to Gordon that he was sent to pave the way for the invasion of Netherworld by conspiring with Vulcanus.

General Carter sends Kurtis to Netherworld, and ultimately he flies there on the Space Battleship Gargantua. Curtis then abducts Jennifer and Laharl orders to destroy all ships except Gargantua. When Laharl and his friends get to the bridge, they are attacked by several Angels from Celestia. After the defeat, General Carter leaves the ship, suddenly out of nowhere appears the Mid-Boss to find out something.

In response to this, Flonne decides to go to Celestia to speak with Seraph. The volcano goes to Seraph Leamington and reports that Flonne is a traitor who leads an army of demons to invade Celestia. Vulcanus declares that he wants to capture all three worlds (Celestia, Hell and Earth) in order to rule them as God . After defeating Vulcanus, Laharl finally meets with Seraph and Flonn explains to him the plan of Vulcanus and what she learned while traveling with Laharl. Seraph accepts her version of events and agrees that demons are able to show a feeling of love. However, this does not cancel the punishment, as she fought against other angels. And he turns her into a flower. Laharl, struck by such injustice, kills Seraph in the final battle.

Thus, from the almost loser by whom Laharl appears at the beginning of the game (having overslept the death of his own father), he turns into a hero.

However, the game has several ending options. For example, the Seraph may survive / not survive. Flonne can be restored or turned into a Fallen Angel. Laharl can become a great Lord and disappear, leaving Etna to watch over Hell (Netherworld). Or he may die and become Prigny. It can also be noted that in the good ending, when the spirit of Laharl’s mother comes to him, Vyers seems to have known her for a long time, and the way he speaks with Laharl suggests that Vaers is King Krichevskaya.

During the game, the team contains angels, people and demons, which resembles the plot of Grandia II or yakusoku no chi Riviera (some of the creators of the first Grandia participated in its development). In addition, hints of Super Sentai , Cyborg 009 (Curtis), Rozen Maiden (a store called "Rosen Queen's Underworld affiliate"), Langrisser (the name alludes to the second part of the series, Gaia no monshō) are noticeable in the game.
