Game Summary
The game takes place in a school for demons called Maritsu Evil Academy. It's a school for demon students so you have to pull pranks, skip class, and not do homework. The students who fail are the ones who go to school on time and do their homework. Confused? Don't worry, you're not alone. The story is about a particular Demon student named Mao who is top of his class, basically the king of mischief. But when a student named Beryl who's also the top delinquent hears of Mao's success, it becomes a journey for both of them to get on the path of being the ultimate "Demon Delinquent" and earn the title of "hero."

Battle System
Unlike any other RPG, this RPG along with the earlier Disgaea games are known to have the most Battle & Customization systems in each game.

The Battle systems which included are listed:

• Two-level toss: All characters form a large tower while the bottom character uses the command called 'Throw' to throw a character to the top of the tower so they can reach a higher area.
  
  
• Throwing receive: This ability lets you throw a character and have an ally catch and throw them a few extra blocks. This goes for humans and monsters as well.
  
  
• Throwing Environment: According to the promo and trailer videos, the player can lift and throw objects of the area or environment at certain characters, enemies, and/or bosses.
  
  
• Demon Morph: Allows monsters to change into weapons for certain characters to use in battles. It also gives the ability to execute a very strong technical attack. Thus in order to do so you must equip a certain demon ability to the character of your choice.
  

The Customization System:

• Mability/ Demon Ability: Players using this can perform two special abilities that allows you to improve your character's performance or allow monsters to perform and execute the 'Demon Morph' ability with a party member.

Why should I get this game?
Basically you should get this for gameplay and if you're a fan of Japanese games, especially Japanese Tactical RPGs. Let's not also forget the longevity of the game. According to translations of the promo video, the game is supposedly 4,000,000 hours long. Kind of crazy and wicked cool, but it gives those gamers who love lengthy games a chance to play this rich one. This is pretty much the first game I've heard about that's this long. It makes me wonder if the Japanese went on a long caffeine or oolong/black tea binge while creating this game. Well, all I can tell you is if you buy this game, expect to not get any sleep for weeks. Expect to skip work or school just to play this addictive and lush RPG. True Japanese and Japanophile/Otaku gamers will buy this game as their first pick of the New Year. It's gonna be hot! Hot like Wasabi, that is!
