Developed by Yoshitsuna Kobayashi, who was originally responsible for Phantom Brave and Disgaea: it definitely shows in the DNA of Cosmic Galaxy Wars! CGW is Disgaea pressed into a shooting action RPG mould. You have a dungeon, a million floors, and some tools you can combine in creative ways to make all the numbers explode far beyond the ken of any normal action RPG. How you get there is mostly up to you.

The actual gameplay is repetitve: you run around shooting things and interacting with special tiles on the floor, kind of like Cladun. You either have enough numbers to survive or you don't. If you don't, you take gear you find and fuse it to make yourself stronger. It's a formula anyone who's spent 100 hours in a Disgaea Item World should recognize.

The million floor dungeon is no joke, but if you learn how mechanics interact you can skip thousands of floors at a time. I reached the bottom in about 20 hours. As for what's there? I wouldn't say it's worth the effort. Like any "Infinite scaling" NIS style game, you get your credits and ending long before that point. It is, however far easier than the likes of Disgaea or Cladun to wrap it all up.

The mechanics work against themselves. Why fuse and grind when you can delve more and grind faster later? You don't ever really get walled in your downward progression, so why bother? Still, a neat and silly short diversion if you like Number Go Up.
