Japanese game website 4Gamer began streaming a 16-minute gameplay video of Nippon Ichi Software's upcoming Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance PlayStation 4 strategy role-playing game on Wednesday. The video outlines the game's mechanics and character creation process, as well as some of the game's story.
Before the gameplay, the video contains the following narration by protagonist Killia, which reveals some of the game's story:
Demon Emperor Voiddark caused an crisis that threatened the entire Netherworld with extermination. This Netherworld War, which was on a scale far larger than any before, ended in a night, as quickly as its flames had been fanned. This has puzzled future historians to no end. By some, it was viewed as a war with no victor, and by others, it was seen as a war with no heroes. The truth of this battle is still shrouded in mystery...
Nippon Ichi Software previously streamed videos introducing the game's characters.

Nippon Ichi Software describes the story:
The strongest and most evil Overlord, Void Dark. Under his control, many Netherworlds have been overrun by his underlings and kept under his power. Void Dark controls a large army of Lost, beings that have strayed from the path of any morality. It is rumored that the number of soldiers in his army is ten billion.It appeared that no one in the Netherworld had the power to stand up against Void Dark and his army... However, the Netherworld is vast. In order to take their revenge on Void Dark due to their personal grudges, multiple Overlords quietly take a stand.
