The Overlord's castle acts as a hub to manage the party.
It has shops to get new equipment, a gate to the different battles, a NPC to travel to the Item World, which is used to boost items, and the Dark Assembly, where the player can create new units, and have the assembly vote to pass (or not) special laws that will affect the game.
To unlock some characters, a special chapter must first be unlocked by the Assembly.
The story progresses in the form of chapters.
In each chapter, new battles become one after another, with dialogues at the beginning and end of those battles.
Any completed battle becomes available to play again, sometimes with minor changes.
At the end of every chapter, a parody cut-scene announcing the next chapter,(most often, it is Etna who tells the story as if she were the protagonist) is shown.

Characters are dispatch in battle one after another, and each have a move action and an battle action.

In each battle, up to ten bonuses can be obtained by clearing the Geo Panels and defeating enemies to fill the Bonus Gauge.
The battle is won when all enemies are defeated, or, in the Item World, by accessing a gate to move to the next floor.
The Item World The Item World is a world divided in floors, inside any of the player's item.
The goal of the Item World is to progress through the floors, which raises the item's level.
The more enemies are defeated before moving to the next floor, the more the item wi
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Disgaea: Hour of Darkness [Greatest Hits] for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Disgaea: Hour of Darkness [Greatest Hits] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2008.
