==Plot== ''Disgaea: Hour of Darkness'' is the story of Prince [[Laharl]], son of King Krichevskoy and heir to the throne of the Netherworld. After falling asleep for two years, he learns of his father's death and sets out to seize the now-chaotic Netherworld by force, with the help of his vassal, [[Etna]]. Besides the fact that you ostensibly play as a cold-hearted little bastard of a demon (and he is), this story may seem fairly typical. In truth, with few exceptions (the normal endings being notable exceptions), the characters and story don't take themselves very seriously. Some of the dialogue is self-referential, and some breaks the [[fourth wall]] with no discernible shame ("Level 4000?!"). Also, the story often diverges into sometimes outright weird segments (for those who have played some of the way through the story: baseball. 'nuff said). In all cases, the dialogue, with voice-acting used much of the time (English and Japanese are available), is witty and fairly well-written and voiced. (Along these lines, it should be noted that, if English voiceovers are selected, a particular sound track is used in one level that would not be used if Japanese voiceovers were selected: The Invasion from Within, by Tsunami Bomb. The vocals were also removed from several of the ending themes in the English sound mode, and can be heard by switching to the Japanese mode.)
