A playable demo for Disgaea Mayhem, an action RPG spin-off of the traditionally tactical Disgaea series, is now available to download on PS5. The release lets players sample the game ahead of its Western launch, offering an early sense of how the franchise's shift towards fast-paced, all-action combat holds up before they commit to a purchase.

In the game, players control a mercenary who can wield multiple weapons, and the demo includes all seven of the game's weapon types across three stages. The download is a modest 1.93GB in size. The title has already been available in Japan since January, and its full Western release is scheduled for 23rd July. The article's author notes some caution about the series trying something so different from its tactical roots, suggesting the demo is a good way to judge it.
