Let's Play Makai Kingdom: Episode 2: Part 3: I can haz?

This is the new netherworld, huh? ...Not so bad.
I've been waiting for you, Zetta!
You!

He comes off like a know-it-all brat, but he is actually an Overlord.
Heh, but even after 20846 assassins and 6413 meaningless wars, he still hasn't taken me down...

Oh hey, it's the obligatory underappreciated wannabe-rival who gets his ass kicked until he starts helping out the protaginist!
What's up, Alex?
Spare the "what's up" crap. I'm here to end you!
Not this again... how many times do I have to kick your sorry ass?
Shut up! We're tied, and you know it! ...And this time, you're going down!
Go home, kid. You can't win. I'm the strongest freaking Overlord you'll ever piss off.
Drinking game time! Anytime he calls himself a freakin' Overlord, take a sip. Two if he uses the word "badass".
The strongest? What're you gonna do, bookworm? Give me a paper cut?
Hya... Hyaaha ha ha ha! Like I haven't heard the book jokes like a thousand times already.
New rule. Take a sip once he starts laughing.
You want some wrath, little boy? Then keep on talking... I'm doin' just fine in the literary world.
You're full of it! There's no way you have that much power; you're a freaking book!
Hyaaha ha ha ha! I didn't expect you to understand. I'm Lord Zetta, one bad-ass Overlord!
*takes three sips*
What the--!? I can't move!
Aha...Haa! Hahahaha! You idiot! Who's the Overlord now, bitch!?
If your mana power's so great, why can't you get up, huh?
Ahaahahahaha! This is hilarious! What woudl your disciple say if she saw you like this?
I don't have a disciple! She's dead to me!
Ohhh, how cold hearted, Master Zetta. Salome would cry if she heard you say that.
Wait, so she's not his ex? Welp.
Shut up! It's none of your business, anyway!
I suppose that's true... Should we continue our business, then?
Forget it, I don't need to prove anything. Even these guys could waste you at this point...
Ahaahahahaha! Hope they don't break your... spine! Ha ha ha!

Awwww I want one! KITTEH! x3


Damn bastard... You'll pay for this! But first... I gotta...
...get up.


The first thing I notice is one of the enemies on the field.

How the fuck am I supposed to kill that?

If you don't know it already, Ungoliant is an arachnid Eldritch Abomination from the Tolkien lore that teamed up with Morgoth to terrorise Valinor and destroy/eat the two legendary trees. Eventually she decided that she still was still hungry and tried to eat the master of Evil himself.
So, uh, she's fucking dangerous.

Wait, didn't Morgoth chase her off with a spear-stab or something?

Well whaddya know, it worked.

I let the Level 3's take care of the rest and focus my attention on the hut on the other side of the map.

Unfortunately the lack of orifices means also a lack of damage from probes.

*image missing due to saving fuck-uppery*
What the hell are those things?
Apparently, those are Bomber Heads. Wait...

+

||

This map is a homage to the Samurai Pizza Cats!

I blow up the hut and move on.


I don't even know how Alex gets those weirdoes.

Killing the cat reveals another area with a bunch of humanoids, but there's nothing of value over there so I sacrifice half our units to retrieve that rock (It's a pretty nice rock).

Honestly if there is one thing Makai Kingdom does better then Disgaea it is allowing monsters access to some of the deeper strategies in the game.

Every single monster in this game can equip weapons, throw, and carry.

Oddly enough that makes Vehicles the TRUE monsters of Makai Kingdom.

Except Disgaea was nice enough to provide you with the weapons that your characters specialized in.

Look at Mr. Bomber Head.  If I'm correct, we won one bomb by now, and won't be able to buy any of the stuff he specializes in for about 4 worlds, or around 16 stages.  Mr. Bomber Head = Epic Fail (except one Bomber Head is ok, because we should have won a bomb by now).

If we have a bomb, I'd like to volunteer to be Mr. Bomberman and equip said bomb.  Call him: Dr. Molotov!

I haven't read the OP yet, but I pissed myself when I saw the title.
I love you Darvi, feel free to take my first born son.

I said the one thing makai does better... That is sort of around it.

Also you can buy The Bomberhead's other three weapons (And find it in the horrible and terrible item world).

Oddly enough a lot of find only weapons actually have very interesting and useful abilities. If finding them wasn't a total pain. Once again this game's item world even makes La Pucile's seems amazing... and La Pucile was the game where floors could be impossible and enemies could reach you with spells practically from SPACE! I am sure the LPer will demonstrate just how bad it is.

To be fair I do sort of have a place in my heart for Makai Kingdom. I really do want a sequel to Makai Kingdom 10x more then I want another disgaea. I could imagine a cleaned up and expanded Makai being amazing.

No you can't.  You have to wait until "modern tech" is unlocked by the game.  The Bomberhead only uses modern tech.  We only have access to "medieval tech" now.  Essentially, we have to wait until the game unlocks soldiers.

Ohh thats what you meant.

Yeah it is pretty weird. Though you could just assume the bomberhead is there to use your items from the Item world should you have had it... or just to show off their lack of foresight.

Before, I request a character, does anyone remember the Gourment Ogre's weapon specialties? I never got a chance to actually play Makai Kingdom.

EDIT: Ok, a brief trip to GameFAQs says that the Gourmet Ogre is skilled in fishing pole, flame thrower, pie, and spear.  Booting up MK to confirm.

Honestly I love and loathe the variety of weapons in the game.

Love it because of the sheer variety and uses of them and loathe because to get them you have to go through one of the worst parts of the game to get them. (and some are really annoying to attempt to level or have insane crazy requirements)

I think there are even a few weapons that no one has specialty in. Like Boxes the most useful weapon in the game.

Also for the LPer

Cats are frail by nature, but their high SP and Atk mean that they are effective once they learn strong weapon skills.
While their stats make nunchuks be the obvious weapons of choice, I give this one a Chain&Ball. The naturally hich movement of the cat is barely hampered by the penalty, and the HP bonus helps with survival.
Also, there already is a nunchuk user.

Nevyn makes good use of his new toy.

IN UR FACE, MOSHING UR DOODZ

Alexander, God of Destruction, huh? Why's he all up in our business?
Something's not right... This netherworld is brand new, but he was there waiting for Zetta.
Hmmmm... It is curious, indeed.
It's not possible, unless he can see the future somehow.
You're the only one here with that power! Grah ha ha ha ha!
Uh, what are you implying?
Wha--? Hey! Why are you looking at me!?
THEY said it! It was Ophelia and Dryzen!
We three are one. Our sin is Micky's as well.
You'll burn along with us, Micky! BWA ha ha ha ha ha!
Well, you kids have fun. It's time for this old man to go.
No! Pram! Stoooop! You're making a mistake... I don't wanna die!

Hm? An earthquake? ...Did I just hear Micky screaming?
Oh well nevermind... I should concentrate on these guys.
Disperse, loyl battle monkeys! Do my bidding and bust a cap!
But I'm not a monkey...
YES YOU ARE KEKEKE.

Second map starts out small, but two out of the four initial enemies trigger extensions when killed.

Our first strike involving the netherworld educational system turns out to be instantly fatal.

Kill the first key enemy and then oh no a band of thieves.

Bob, you didn't tip off some of your friends as to our presence, did you?
Don't be ridiculous. If they robbed you there'd be less left for me - I mean, ignore that part.
Meh, not like they're any serious trouble or anything.

Really, the worst they can do is take off your armour and have somebody else beat on your weakened units.
Unfortunately this is exactly what happens. Actually they never really stole anythign from him, Zomph is just that naturally squishy.
Three extensions and a dozen cats and casters (that would be an awesome name for a tabletop game), we see some dolls for the first time.

Luckily, nobody got killed by them or I'd be obliged to make Skyrim jokes.


Not a lot of trouble, and we finish the map with near full bonus points.

I am, however, intrigued by that empty spot above the cash in the left column.

The third map is even less eventful. So instead, happy time!

The happy dungeons are one-shot maps that contain several pieces of valuable equipment. The goal is to pick those up before the resident owls  reach your characters and kill them. Or get killed, as may be the case.

This owl is made of pork!


Eventually I, Bob, and Gandor pick up all the items while Hex kills the owls for disrupting the peace in the library.

He said no food allowed!

And frankly in my experience most battles are done in one or two attacks anyhow and even your best tank will be destroyed by multiple opponent attacks. Making the game a bit like Chess and boss battles a bit more like a puzzle.

It kinda makes tanking the least useful in this game then in all the Nippon Ichi games.
