Disenchantment Initialization

Disenchantment Initialization is the fourth game in the Disenchantment series. Set after the events of the third game, it follows a young woman with exceptional combat talent on an adventure in the Free City Alliance, where the Western Continent’s church is based. Her journey investigates whether the divine powers described in ancient records ever existed.

The world tree

Legends tell of a floating island where the World Tree grows above the clouds, among rare trees, elves and ancient beasts. In ancient times, the gods used the tree to travel between heaven and earth. Since the end of that age, the gods have vanished and the tree has lost that ability, leaving people to wonder whether tales of gods and monsters are only myths.

The story

The adventure begins with the prologue, “Jimo’s Trial,” and continues through 11 chapters, from “The Girl Who Left Home” to “The Guardian of the Extreme Gate” and “The Frozen Throne.” Along the way, the party visits an ancient temple, attends a gathering aboard a private airship and encounters the church’s guardians.

The characters

The party brings together eight characters with distinct abilities and personalities:

• Violet Dawn: A young fighter known as the “Combat Doll,” with exceptional talent for battle.
• Rose Deyizina: The younger of the Deyizina sisters, a blood mage who absorbs bodily fluids from other species. Her condition is difficult to cure with ordinary items or magic.
• Rasha Deyizina: Rose’s older sister, a blood assassin who hides, wounds enemies and takes their blood to sustain herself. Her condition is also difficult to cure with ordinary items or magic.
• Qu: A young nine-tailed fox who studies ancient martial arts and dreams of becoming a reclusive dragon-blade knight. After being driven from home for staying indoors too much, Qu grows curious about the opposite sex.
• Aesthes: An unlucky nine-tailed fox afflicted with amnesia. She enjoys toying with her prey’s emotions and spends her days eating, drinking and relaxing.
• Star Coldwind: An oni-slayer with a special “Eye” ability who often falls asleep on the battlefield.
• Ni: A wealthy young man from an aristocratic family who pursues the life of a celebrated gentleman. He enjoys being called “Young Master Ni” and uses money and flashy dual-wielding to get his way.
• Zhan'er Junxue: A girl of human and elf descent, accompanied by snow elves. She can turn snow into a sword and also delights in fireworks.

Exploration and combat

You can travel freely across a large map of the Western Continent and revisit locations from earlier games, including the Kingdom of Ishmia and the Republic of Menokaru. Town NPCs, including shopkeepers, can be knocked unconscious. Entering a home and rummaging through its belongings counts as trespassing, and the owner may knock you down.

Encounters work differently by map: enemies appear visibly on regional maps and do not respawn after being defeated, while encounters on the world map are hidden and their enemies respawn without limit. The game uses a waiting-time battle system, with a brisk pace that also allows time to consider tactics.

The changing world

A day-and-night lighting system shifts the light as time passes, and you can light lamps yourself. Characters, equipment and monsters are named by players.
