Disgaea RPG Smartphone App Relaunches After Maintenance Fixes

ForwardWorks announced on Wednesday that it has restarted service on it and Nippon Ichi Software's Makai Senki Disgaea RPG smartphone game. ForwardWorks had announced in July that the game will restart service in November.

ForwardWorks is streaming a new promotional video for the game.

The companies explained that after they launched the game on March 19, many players experienced bugs with the game, and the companies immediately performed maintenance on the game. However, players were unable to progress equally because of errors, keeping some players from being able to play and missing out on login bonuses and campaigns. The staff stated that once service on the game is officially relaunched, Nippon Ichi Software and ForwardWorks will completely reset all player data.

The companies revealed on April 12 that the game would remain inaccessible for at least three months. Nippon Ichi Software and ForwardWorks stated at that time that the game needs major repairs and estimated that the repairs and testing would take more than three months.

ForwardWorks stated that it brought in an additional development partner in June, and in July through September the companies continued to improve the servers and the app. In October the companies opened a test version of the game.

The companies previously pulled the game from both Apple's App Store and the Google Play store.

The companies announced the game at Nippon Ichi Software's 25th anniversary event in July 2018. The basic game is free to play, with some charges inside the app.
