Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance sets sail for North America this year

We’re up to the sixth home console version in the Disgaea franchise with Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance. While this specific title has had a Japanese release date of March 26th 2015, there has never been any word of a release date in other countries. Well, that is, until now with NIS’ annual press event dropped a North American and European broad release date. This date, is Fall of 2015. Sure it’s after Japan but at least it’s the same year! It’s also coming on the PlayStation 4 exclusively.

Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance is a tale of revenge and rebellion. This jerk called the Void Dark is an Overlord attempting to, you know, enslave the countless Netherworlds – sort of Shao Kahn style. As the heroes, you have to of course not allow this to go down.

Here are some of the game’s features:

• Alliance Attacks: New to the Disgaea series, your relationship with your teammates influences a new battle system called Alliance Attack. These special moves are only available to main characters and only when their relationships are appropriately aligned.
• Recruitment: A familiar feature for Disgaea faithful, this system lets you choose from over 40 races and jobs, and identify new party members with the exact traits you desire.
• Revenge Mode: A game about vengeance wouldn’t be complete without a character stat boosting system based on revenge, would it? The Revenge Mode empowers your characters with bonus stats when they’ve become fed up of their allies being beat on.
• Explore the Netherworlds: While previous games in the series have shown a glimpse of the darkness that is the Netherworlds, Disgaea 5 takes you to a myriad of those dark lands.
• Definitely over 9,000: In true Disgaea fashion, Disgaea 5 harnesses the power of the PlayStation®4 to deliver battles with a ridiculous number of enemies and outrageous damage.
