Disgaea 7: A Culinary Crisis in the Netherworlds

The latest installment in the beloved Disgaea series promises a uniquely chaotic adventure. The narrative centers around Pirilika, a wealthy demon with a passion for Bushido and, more importantly, traditional Hinomoto cuisine. Upon arriving in the hellish realms of Hinomoto, Pirilika discovers a culinary catastrophe: her cherished noodles, “Sowba” and “You-Don,” have been replaced by… pasta?

The culprit, identified as the diabolical Demodore Opener, has sparked a quest to restore Hinomoto’s gastronomic glory. Pirilika teams up with the wandering warrior Fuji, prepared to use “big slaps if necessary” to set things right. This edition of Disgaea is described as an “ultimate version,” including the base game, all previously released DLC, and entirely new content.

Alongside Rean Schwarzer, the Cendré Chevalier, and Father Kevin Graham, Van uncovers a conspiracy that delves into Zemuria’s deepest secrets. The narrative promises diverging paths and a central question: “What is hidden beyond the horizon?”
