The Story of Mao, a Demon Gone Bad
Set in and around the ‘Nether Institute, Evil Academy,’ the demon
version of the preppiest of prep schools, Disgaea 3: Absence of
Justice follows the puzzling decision of Mao, son of the Overlord
of the Netherworld, who after reading a manga comic book decides
to forsake his proper demonic upbringing, become a hero and
attempt to overthrow his her. But in the backwards world of
demon scholastics where good is bad and bad is good, Mao is a top
honor student. He knows all about d school, being totally
unhelpful and quickly resorting to violence, but nothing of the
selfless nobility and patience of heroes. Heroes are for
delinquents, as the number one delinquent of the Nether
Institute, Raspberyl and her friends try to tell him. But Mao’s
mind is made up. It's a hero he will be.
Flow of Gameplay: Events ⇒ Base ⇒ Battle ⇒ Repeat
Events: Players advance through the game as events unfold. These
events can occur during the story, at your base, or before/after
battles. You will be able to witness the fun and interesting
interactions through a mixture of sprite animation and exciting
character battles.
Base: Mao's school, the Nether Institute, Evil Academy is the
base point of the game. Players will be able to prepare for
upcoming battles here by purchasing new weapons and items,
customizing characters and/or restoring .
Battle: You will be fighting against enemies in battle scenes
with a quarter view, simulations. The goal is to defeat
all of the enemies before all of your team members die. Battles
utilize a turn-based system, where all of your team members will
have their turn to attack before enemies begin theirs.
Character Customization: The Evility System
Character customization is crucial in all role-playing games.
Absence of Justice allows for maximum character customization
through its "Evility System." There are two different categories
of evilities: evility that is already set for each character
depending upon the jobs of each and evility that players can
customize. Customizable evilities include: evility to acquire the
special skills for certain weapons, evility to up character
status under certain requirements, evility to up the a of
experience points earned, evility to enable special skills and
functions, etc. This variety is powerful and important. You may
have only one kind of evility that supports a character's status,
but you may have multiple evilities for skills. Use this system
to create and customize your characters and ideally group
multiple evilities in one to conduct battles more efficiently.
The Disgaea 3 Battle System
Combat in Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice consists of a combination
of the franchises familiar standard system of attacks, along with
a whole new array of moves debuting with the game. This wide
range of possibilities allows players to pick and choose tactics
that suit the immediate conflict before them or to quest for
overall success in the game, and maximum fun by attemping to
master all. Attacks and skills include:
* Team Attack - Use up to four adjoining team members to help you
attack adjoining enemies. Although this may seem random, it is
actually closely connected with the team members you have
selected in class and their special skills.
* Combos - Combos happen when multiple team members attack the
same enemy during a single turn. They can occur even when team
members are not on adjoining squares and their effectiveness
increases with the number of occurring combos.
* Lift and Throw - Humanoid characters have the ability to lift
and throw enemies or teammates. The distance of a throw depends
on the thrower and lifted team members are safe from attack,
making this a key defensive tactic.
* Stack Attack - If you keep using the lift command, you will be
able to create a tower of characters. Select the attack command
while in that state and all stacked characters will begin to
attack. The larger the stack the higher the damage to your
enemies.
* Double Throw - If one of your characters stacked in a tower
selects the "throw" command you can choose to throw any of the
stacked characters. This is a useful skill when you want to reach
a floor that is too high to reach on your own.
* Throw and Receive - Useful in moving long distances, when you
throw a character towards a monster teammate he/she will knock
the thrown character further away in the direction faced.
* Geo Effect - The combination of geo panels and geo blocks is
called the 'Geo Effect.' The special effect of a block on top of
a panel will affect all panels of the same color. You gain the
power of those effects by landing on the right block.
* Uniting Skills - If you meet certain requirements during a
combo, two skills will unite into one, increasing damage and
depending on the skills will increase the effectiveness of your
combo.
* Magichange - Magichange allows humanoid characters and monster
characters to to fight as one. In doing this the monster will
turn into a special weapon for the human to wield and in the
process increase the power of both.
Will Mao be able to become a hero and defeat the Overlord? Or
will Raspberyl and the demon delinquents convince him to return
to his honor role ways? It all depends on you, and so the
troublesome, devilish story begins.
