Disgaea 5 Complete (Nintendo Switch)

At first I didn’t want two so I thought I would return this however it was a great Christmas present and the seller was very accommodating to my decision confusion. Thank you. Happy Holidays!

This is the first Disgaea game I have played and so far I am loving it. I'm about 8 hours into the game and get the feeling that I have yet to scratch the surface on the amount of content. The game is a strategic RPG where you place your heros on a battle field and take turns to deal ridiculous amounts of damage to one another all set in a demon underworld with hundreds of netherworlds that are being taken over by the antagonist Void Dark. The game play itself is straightforward enough although the tutorials aren't always as obvious as they could be. I have found myself googling certain things. The amount of things that can be customised in this game is ridiculous; Characters, skills, items, weapons and squads can all be levelled up, some to level 9999! The shops can be levelled up, you can change some of the rules in the game at a goverment style voting hall (and if you don't get your way you can fight for the vote to go in your favour! Or just bribe them!). You can make your own levels and comete against onlilne submitted levels. This is all things I have experienced in the game so far and as I said I doubt I have got anywhere near all the features yet!ProsVibrent colourful graphicsHundreds of hours of gameplayLots and lots of voice actingFully animated cutscenesSilly humourConsFairly simple graphics (although it has a great art style)Not the best tutorialsPossible overwhelming amount of things to doI wouldn't say any of the Cons are a big issue in my opinion. For me this is easily a 5 star game but I wwouldn't be surprised if it wasn't for some. The best thing to do if in any doubt is download the free demo from the Nintendo Eshop. It's basically the full game upto the end of the first act, this is itself took me 3 hours to complete, although I wasn't rushing and making sure that I spoke to all characters after each mission to see if they had anything new to say!

If you love games like FIRE EMBLEM and SUPER MARIO + RABBIDS KINGDOM BATTLE then you will love this. It's a JRPG Strategy Battle type game similar to those games (Or those games are similar to the Disgaea franchise). This game has you controlling a likeable team of beautiful demon characters who have to save a planetary system from an evil force led by a character called VOID DARK. I've been playing this non-stop and it's my first foray into the DISGAEA franchise. It is surprisingly intense as you have so many things you can alter and power up.What I loved about this DISGAEA 5 COMPLETE pack for SWITCH is that you get some nice bonuses for purchasing this at the start of the game: 1000000 to spend on stuff in the various lovely shops and you get a bunch of powerful characters too as an added bonus along with some other amazing extras. This is well worth the asking price and will keep you glued for a long, long time!!!! While the stories are ridiculous and the situations stark raving mad, the characters and their performances are likeable and will keep you coming back for more.I highly recommend this to any gamer who likes JRPGs and Battle Strategy games.

Disgaea 5 is a perfect fit for the Switch. It's a long game with a vast amount of content (all DLC from the PS4 release is included), but gameplay is divided into a near infinite amount of bite-sized content; ideal for on-the-go gaming! However, if 2D strategy RPGs with a very Japanese design are your thing, it's just as good for extended sessions with the Switch plugged into your TV.This is the 5th main game in the Disgaea series (there is a sequel to the first game with D2, and there are various platformers and a visual novel too), but there have also been plenty of other entries into the series, plus an array of similar titles (La Pucelle, Phantom Brave, Soul Nomad, Makai Kingdom etc). If you have played any of these games, the setup in Disgaea 5 is largely similar, with a few updates and idiosyncrasies of its own.Disgaea 5 can feel a little overwhelming at first, especially for a newcomer. There are lots of stats, character types, and strategic options to be aware of in battles. Fortunately, everything is explained well and can be revisited. Progression opens up more options, shop types, gameplay styles. Eventually, you'll unlock the Item World, which let's you enter deep dungeons that are held within each item you can gather.Soon enough, that 9999th level doesn't seem quite so unattainable!Disgaea 5 was excellent on PS4, but the portability of the Switch version gives us the ideal update!

A fantastic game for any fan of the Disgaea series.The music is a little annoying but that is to be expected, this is the only downside to the game though.The gameplay is slick and the graphics have a nice style to them. This game will keep you busy for HOURS on end.

Brilliant game! This is my first Disgaea game and I'm pleased to say I wasn't disappointed. So much to do without getting bored. The characters and story were both enjoyable. I'm not even a fraction of the way through and I've played over 30 hours.I would recommend this greatly!
