NIS America and Nippon Ichi Software have announced that a free Disgaea Mayhem demo is now available on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
“Players will get to tackle three stages using any of the seven different weapons featured in the full game,” the publisher explains in a press release. “Do you prefer the versatile range of a bow or the satisfying heft of an axe? Find out by trying out all different weapon types before the game’s full launch on July 23! In each stage, players will take on dozens of enemies and a boss fight—perfect for getting a feel for Disgaea Mayhem’s action combat.”
You play as N.A. in this action RPG spin-off to the Disgaea series, a mercenary with a discerning sweet tooth who is challenged to mow down hundreds of monsters for money.
With equippable weapons from seven different classes, like the tried-and-true sword or the ranged bow, you can change whatever you wield to switch up the way that you play.
Your efforts will reward you with the chance to grind levels, improve your equipment, and pass new bills at the Dark Chocolate Assembly to “make the numbers go up until you’re dealing millions of damage with every hit.”
There’s also the chance to recruit classic demons like the Prinny to bring along with you in a game that has looked to offer the chance to experience the Disgaea series in a whole new way.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Magichange into Action: Take direct control of the combat in this action RPG spinoff of the Disgaea series! Beat down hundreds of enemies with classic Disgaea weapons, including the sword, gun, fist, and axe!
- Grind Up to Get Down: It wouldn’t be Disgaea without the ability to get stronger. Head to the Item World to power up your equipment, reincarnate for higher base stats, or grind out levels to make sure you’re at the top of the food chain!
- Satisfy Her Cravings: It takes a demon to feed a princess! Princess Tichelle loves her flan, and N.A. loves a paycheck. By working together, they can both get what they want! Dessert brings people (and demons) together in this light-hearted tale.
Disgaea Mayhem will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch worldwide on 23 July 2026.
