Disgaea 5 is a tactical/strategy role-playing game that was initially released on March 26, 2015 in Japan, and then came over to the west in October of that same year. It is actually the sixth main entry in the series (not counting the ports to other systems), following the release of Disgaea D2 for the PS3, and is the first entry (and only for now) on the Playstation 4.

The Netherworlds are split up into a bunch of different ones, each governed by an Overlord, who has their own set of rules. Those very same Netherworlds are now in danger of being destroyed or taken over by an evil army known as The Lost, who is being led by Void Dark. However, a ray of hope appears in Killia, who seems to have a deep grudge against Void Dark. Can he really go through the rumored 10 billion Lost soldiers and exact his revenge against Void?
