Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero

 Prinnies are done with being used as mere cannon fodder in other people's elaborate games of turn-based war. The combustible penguins from the Disgaea series have ditched the strategic grid in favor of a starring role in an action platformer, but even though they've turned their back on being hurled at enemy forces against their will, that doesn't mean that they're any less fun to play with. The intense action is always rewarding and downright heart-pounding at times so the shift in genre shouldn't be too devastating for longtime fans of these sinful penguins. There are some control quirks that will cause more than a few cheap deaths, but the devious level design, intense boss battles, and ridiculous story make this a must-play adventure for both Disgaea purists looking for a change of pace and 2D action fans looking to appease their hyperactive thumbs. 


Prinnies are now the stars of the show, but that doesn't mean that they are acting on their own accord. These flightless birds are the reincarnated souls of evil humans being forced to serve in purgatory under the whims of a crazed demon master. Etna is in charge of your flock, and when she finds that her dessert has been stolen from right under her nose, it's up to you and 999 of your closest friends to obtain the ingredients for the Ultra Dessert. Your cruel mistress mocks your every move, and her callous attitude leads to many funny situations. In fact, the whole journey is chock-full of jokes, from a boss remarking that your sauce is remarkably weak to a prinny gingerly holding up a soiled passion diaper that is to be used in the recipe. Even though the focus is still on pure action, the story interludes add a lot to the experience, rewarding you with humorous anecdotes after every major fight.

What isn't funny is your finite reserve of prinnies waiting to die for a fabled dessert. Etna has 1,000 penguins in her command, and though you'll control only one at a time, you'll still find yourself going through hundreds of lives as you traverse tricky platforms and bop angry bosses until they submit. You should be able to finish the adventure with several hundred prinnies still in reserve, but if you find yourself without a hero to control, you aren't completely out of luck. Those who burn through the whole troupe of explosive birds are able to start a new game with a special attack that should make the adventure slightly easier. This is a challenging game, but the smooth difficulty curve eases you into the world gradually, building on your past exploits so you rarely feel overwhelmed in battle.
