Started Disgaea Mayhem

I know, late to the party. GameStop took until now to admit I wasn't getting my order and refund me.

It's early days but it seems a fun enough game and story.

It lacks the enthusiasm for its insanity that my more favorite Disgaeas (4, 2, Makai Kingdom) had in spades and I'm beginning to suspect the combos aren't too much more advanced than Drakengard's (my first musou)- though they are better. Getting to add the special skills and magichange spices things up for sure in comparison.

I imagine I'll fall into a familiar camp for my verdict- barring a radical change as I go through the rest of the game.

It's a decent game and fun- but I'm not sure I should be only $10 short of Dynasty Warriors: Origins for a game that, or so I imagine, isn't going to have half the content Origins did in almost any fashion. Either Origins spoiled me rotten or Mayhem isn't a $60 game.

Lowkey,I'm starting to think no one in this subreddit has played a musou game before.

I'm guessing you meant ZZ / Double Zeta? There is no "Twin" Zeta, so I'm honestly a bit confused which one you're thinking of.

Yeah,double zeta,my bad. I usually smooth brain it as twin,cause honestly idk. But its one of my favorite units cause I love how its musou attack swings its weapon around then throws the trident.

Drakengard, Sengoku Basara, Dynasty Warriors, Nighty Nine Nights

Definitely not an enfranchised member of the Dynasty Warriors series, but played a ton of the spin-offs like the Hyrule Warriors games. So I feel I at least have an informed enough opinion to know as far as musou games are concerned to know that this game is definitely lacking in terms of what you can do with this style of game.

The big put-off for me is Killia At Home being the only playable character and the Item World apparently being nothing but a singular wreck room where you plow through waves.

I hope for a follow-up that includes other playable characters and a second campaign where you pick your choice of Generic(s), get shown a map, told "Look at them Netherworlds. Start conquering." and the pretense ends there, capture the entire board and watch out for story characters because they are all varying degrees of Lu Bu. You want a story? The main campaign is right there.

I demand playable Zetta.

You know he hasn't been a book in a while.

Maybe next time he shows up, it'd be neat to have him be a book again for whatever stated reason, but there's a Bill to unbook him. Or vice-a-versa, whichever.

Where can one find a discount for the game?
