''Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories'' is the second game in the [[Turn-Based Strategy]] series ''[[Disgaea]]'', and was released in 2006 for the [[Play StationPlayStation 2]]. It was later ported to the [[Play Station Portable]] as ''[[Updated Rerelease|Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days.]]''
 
The game stars Adell, the only person unaffected by a devious curse that has transformed all of the human inhabitants of his home village into heartless demons. The source of the curse is Overlord Zenon, a enigmatic figure who became known as the [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|God of All Overlords]] after he [[One-Man Army|slew one thousand Overlords in a single battle]]. Adell's solution to the problem is simple: get his mother to [[Dungeon Bypass|magically summon Overlord Zenon to the village]] and then [[When All You Have Is a Hammer|pound him into submission]].
 
Unfortunately the summoning ritual ends up conjuring Rozalin, Zenon's [[Spoiled Sweet]] daughter. Having accidentally kidnapped the only daughter of the most powerful Overlord in existence, it's a race for Adell to return Rozalin to Zenon before he tears the world apart looking for her. It's a shame that Rozalin is so sheltered that [[UpperclassUpper Class Twit|she has no idea where her father actually lives]]. Meanwhile, [[Disgaea Hour of Darkness|Etna]] has decided to strike out on her own and is gunning for the title of God of All Overlords that Zenon possesses.
 
Joining Adell are his two younger siblings, Taro and Hanako; Tink, Rozalin's childhood friend who has been [[Baleful Polymorph|Baleful Polymorphed]] into a frog; and Yukimaru, a [[Ninja]] girl who seeks revenge against Overlord Zenon for wiping out her clan, [[Verbal Tic|zam]].
Line 168:
* [[Large Ham]]: Overlord Zenon in the dub. {{spoiler|Both real and fake}}.
** In the Japanese version as well, being voiced by [[Norio Wakamoto]] and all... {{spoiler|The fake one, anyway.}}
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: The PSP version of Disgaea 2 is looking to beat Disgaea 3 in this aspect. Alongside the returning playable characters, the optional bosses that were originally not playable in the original in the [[Play StationPlayStation 2]] version are now playable, many of whom became DLC in Disgaea 3. Additional bosses have been added including Mao, Raspberyl, and Mr. Champloo from Disgaea 3 as well as the Disgaea 3 version of Asagi, all of them playable. And if that wasn't enough, Disgaea 2 is also getting [[Downloadable Content]].
* [[Lost in Translation]]: The bill to fight Zetta is "Meet The Strongest Overlord." Zetta's self-declared title in Japanese pretty much means that, so it ended up summoning him.
* [[Mana Drain]]: Fubuki.
Line 183:
** Rozalin is just a snob at times; she honestly cares about Adell's family. As for Adell, well, as Etna puts it; they have one of ''[[Tsundere|those kinds of relationships]]''.
** For all her display, Etna does let Adell go when she beats him and it's a [[Nonstandard Game Over]] if he beats her only because it drives the plot [[Off the Rails]]. If you're paying attention, you'll also notice that she takes the hit from Zenon's super blast in the ending in order to protect Hanako.
* [[Now Buy the Merchandise]]: In ''Dark Hero Days'', Aramis, Badman, and Mao all shill the Dark Council for ''[[Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?]], [[Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman]]'' (And its sequel), and ''[[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]]'' respectively. Amusingly, their petitions that you watch their commercials always have 100% approval and will pass even if you cheat to make the Council vote no. It's a great way to get items, though.
* [[Obvious Beta]]: ''Dark Hero Days's'' DLC was released with so many crippling bugs and glitches that they had to ''take it down'' from PSN so they could fix them.
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: The story-relevant fight of Level 1000 Etna vs. Overlord Zenon happens completely offscreen.
