DISGAEA: Crossroads of Discord

Mission Statement

Answering the age-old question of "Disgaea... but what if Pokemon?", this short-play fan project is designed to mix the lore and challenge of Disgaea with the battle mechanics of Competitive Pokemon.

Laharl is stuck in Purgatory and has to battle his way out against 6 successively more challenging boss fights. There's no grinding, so he'll just have to rely on strategy and team-building to succeed.

He's doomed.

Features

• Team-Building Emphasis. Units are recruited using limited resources, so choose carefully.
• No Grinding. All units are at set levels for your playthrough.
• No Healing Items. No cheesing through Trials with 99 Full Restores.
• Short, but Challenging, Play Time of about 2-5 hours. Designed for multiple playthroughs with various teams. Speedrun, Ironmanning, Low-recuit, Low-power challenge-friendly.
• Unique Movesets for all Playable Units. Customize their best skills to synergize with the rest of your team and take down the Trials with ease!
• Featuring the signature humor of the Disgaea franchise to keep you laughing while you hand out the violence!

Bugs

• Bug: A common bug many RPG Maker XP users have found is that cutscene images will not display correctly if the game is started up in Fullscreen mode or L-sized screen mode. This can be easily correctly simply by opening the Options menu and changing the screen size to M and then back to your preferred size.
• Glitch: Due to RPG Maker XP's fairly archaic sound mixing, Disgaea Crossroads is best played with the Background Music settings at 20 lower than the main Sound Effects so that they can actually be heard. The game Options should default BGM: 80 and SFX: 100 for convenience.
• Errors: To be noted and fixed.

No Grinding

But Grinding is one of the main elements of Disgaea/NIS games. It's just not a Disgaea game without hours and hours of Grinding.

 

[DjinnAndTonic]

Well, it is meant to take place in Purgatory, a realm of stagnation, so of COURSE you can't power-level there.

But who knows, maybe I can add a mode where you grind for hours, but that kinda ruins the "Competitive Pokemon meta" feel I was going for.

I didn't actually mean for you to take that comment seriously. I was trying to be funny. (I do play the Disgaea games though, so I'm wasn't speaking without personal experience)

Oh wow, really?! I had no idea. Where can I see your channel?

 

[ookamishadows]

Here is my channel (Click Here)

I am doing a trial run on your game, meaning if I get two or more likes I play another episode, and, it seems I got two likes so expect another episode today. I get a lot of views on your game and I am not surprised. It is beautiful, fun, hilarious and addictive!

I have to warn you. My channel is very small at the moment, I am from South Africa, we don't have a huge Poketuber presence in our country. Most of my viewers are from India lol

Final Major Update Released. Please enjoy all the new features and let me know if you guys find any bugs!

Feedback on the newer version:

• If you release a character, you cannot reobtain them. This is especially awkward if you release yourself. (Maybe that should invoke an ending?)
• For non-Prinnies, the random Nature system seems awkward. It seems like the characters should have fixed Natures that reflect their personalities, but don't affect their stats negatively.
• If you are going to include Shiny variants, why are characters only obtainable once? Also, shiny colors don't appear in the Sacred Tome (Pokedex), and Overlord (Mega) forms don't always reflect Shiny variants.
