edited 2026-06-15

A complete play and watch order for the Disgaea franchise, Nippon Ichi Software's tactical RPG series set across demon-ruled Netherworlds. Covers all 8 mainline games from Hour of Darkness (2003) through Vows of the Virtueless (2023), plus the 2006 anime adaptation and manga series. Each mainline game tells a standalone story in a new Netherworld, making release order the recommended sequence.
