It didn't take long for the niche Japanese publishers to hop on the Nintendo Switch bandwagon.
Disgaea is a series that’s been around for a while, an absolute tactical-strategy juggernaut that’s made its bones on unique gameplay, a vast array of characters, and an absolutely wicked sense of humor. The fifth numbered sequel (Sixth game if you count D2) in the series delivers on all of that, with two snarky morally ambiguous heroes taking on the threat of a massive army poised to take over the Netherworlds and rule the afterlife entire. But while you can certainly expect all the usual hallmarks of Disgaea— Fourth wall breaks, snarky heroes, wacky humor, talking penguins— the game introduces some interesting new systems and classes while still giving you all the power to take the fight to the Netherworlds and conquer the lands of the dead in the name of revenge.
Sony needs to get on the phone with NIS asap and get them to release D5 complete on PS4. I passed on it because NIS is now putting more and more content behind paywalls. Guess I'll have to buy a Switch to get the best version. Be nice to have it on Playstation where it began. Oh well.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "While still being a great strategy RPG, the PC version of Disgaea 5 Complete lacks features otherwise present on its Switch and PS4 versions."
Kinglink says "Disgaea is a long-running series of SRPG from Nippon Ichi that started on the PlayStation 2 and have had relatively constant releases. While it remained the PlayStation family of consoles for a long time, a couple of years ago Nippon Ichi ported the original game to the PC, along with the sequel the next year. This year, however, Nippon Ichi suddenly ported Disgaea 5 to the PC along with all it’s DLC, fresh for fans to check out. So is this the latest and greatest, or did they just skip a few games? Let’s find out."
HYPE!
Good stuff; my friend Thomas is gonna love this.
Definitely getting. In the meantime. I will try beat some of them that on PS Now.
I like this attempt from Nintendo to get the hard core niche gamer :)
