Disgaea 5 Complete Reviews

Professional reviews from gaming critics

Disgaea 5 Complete is an awesome addition to the Nintendo Switch line-up of games. Taking this time-intensive tactical RPG on the go with me was an enjoyably experience; I am not always at home and willing to spend 80 hours on my couch playing a game. The game's premise feels like a soap opera at times, but it adds to the enjoyment when acted out by these silly characters. My only word of advice is to bring your Switch charger with you, because you're going to need it.

While Disgaea 4 is in many ways more of the same from the tactics franchise, its unique story, premise, characters and wonderful variety make it extremely fun to put hours upon hours into. Disgaea 4 is a long title that offers a lot to do both during and after the story to keep players coming back for a bigger and better challenge. There are those who want to finish the story and find new challenges and others who want to get all their characters to level 9999 to feel like the ultimate champion. There's no real wrong way to play Disgaea and there's endless fun to be had in Hell with its lovabl...

Disgaea Switches to Nintendo's New Console

There are only a few RPGs on the Switch so far, but Disgaea 5 is nothing short of one of the best. If you’re at all a fan of JRPGs or tactics games, this is a must buy. Even if you had it on the PS4, its inclusion on the Switch and portable greatness make it one of the system’s must owns early in its life.

Disgaea 5 Complete is a complex strategy RPG that will test your brain to its limits. Despite its difficult learning curve, the game holds tight battle mechanics, endless combinations for fighting, and a colorful cast of characters that make it worth a purchase for newcomers and fans of the series alike.

Disgaea 5 Complete is a tough game to judge. On the positive side it offers an extraordinary volume of content, its own quirky approach to storytelling and a complex set of systems that complement each other well. Unlike some other major strategy RPG IPs, however, it struggles to present its complexity in a cohesive way, with a user interface that groans under the weight of its goals. Fans of the game and series likely adore this hardcore approach, but some more familiar with strategy games that are more focused and precise in their execution may find it hard to fall in love with all of those ...

Your Trusty and Old Faithful Disgaea

Hinomoto just got a lot more chaotic with the arrival of Disgaea 7 Complete. With a significant upgrade to performance and all DLC packed in, Nippon Ichi Software's latest entry in the tactical RPG series feels right at home on the Nintendo Switch 2.

One knows what to expect from a Disgaea game, the flagship title from NIS America as a whole; an adorable and instantly recognizable art style, gameplay akin to what Final Fantasy Tactics used to provide two decades ago, a good soundtrack, a mixture of innocent and mischievous humor, and a ton of penguins uttering the word “dood”. Disgaea 5 Complete for PC is no different, as this is game is (supposedly) the most featured-filled version of the fifth chapter of the franchise previously rel...

The least funny Disgaea, but arguably the best in terms of the actual gameplay – and it’s a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch.
