Former Disgaea designer Yoshitsuna Kobayashi releases Cosmic Galaxy Wars for PC via Steam

SuperNiche's Sohei Niikawa has helped Yoshitsuna Kobayashi—the director, designer, and main programmer of the first Disgaea game—release Cosmic Galaxy Wars for PC via Steam. This indie shooting RPG made by former Nippon Ichi Software staff members is now available worldwide.

Sohei Niikawa further clarified in his social media account that this is Yoshitsuna's new game after he last worked on one 20 years ago. In addition, despite releasing the game right at midnight on April 1st in Japan, Niikawa assures that this game's release is completely legit and it is not an April Fool's joke.

You can find the screenshots and descriptions for Cosmic Galaxy Wars right below. The game is available in Japanese and English.

The Abyss of RPG Awaits—

You won’t find another RPG like this anywhere in the world.
That’s a promise.

At the start, you’ll probably ask yourself: “What on earth is this?”
As you keep playing, you might be reminded of a few games from the past.
But sooner or later, you’ll realize—
this is unlike any RPG you’ve ever experienced.

There are no hand-holding tutorials here.
The game asks you to learn by playing.
Not because it’s unfriendly, but because discovery is the fun.
When you uncover the path forward on your own, the catharsis is incomparable.

That is the essence—and the thrill—of this RPG.

Once again, let us repeat:
The Abyss of RPG Awaits—

【Shooting RPG】

A lone hero explores the dungeon.
The hero shoots bullets through the dark halls.
Dodge enemy fire.
It’s an RPG, but it plays like a shooting game.

And yet, it doesn’t stop there.
This is “Galactic Wars”.
An experience you simply cannot understand—
until you play it yourself.

【A Million Floors!?】

Descending into dungeons is nothing new for RPGs.
Roguelike? Of course, we’ve got that.

But here…
the dungeon stretches to an unbelievable 1,000,000 floors!
(Yes, seriously.)

【How Do You Conquer an RPG Like This…?】

To clear this insane RPG, you can’t stay sane.
Players must abandon all conventional thinking.

Break free from the “rules” you thought you knew about RPGs.
What matters most is your ideas.

Hack the system.
Conquer all one million floors.

This game is nothing less than a challenge to every gamer.
