Disgaea 6 Complete Reviews

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 of the best SRPGs in recent years has a new iteration for Switch 2 and Disgaea 7 Complete is jam-packed with hilarity and content.

Disgaea 7 Complete is probably the best Disgaea game yet, and on the Nintendo Switch 2 it looks beautiful and runs smoother than ever.

With how stellar a package the Vows of the Virtueless proved to be upon release, the expanded and feature-packed Disgaea 7 Complete should be a slam dunk of a recommendation to any tactical RPG fan — but re-releases are rarely that simple. For anyone who missed out on the original the first time around, this version is every bit as great and stands tall as the ultimate, feature-complete iteration of the game. At the same time, there’s no denying that the handful of brand-new content additions fall on the niche side and mostly serve those who want to live and breathe Disgaea 7 for their next hundred-plus hours of game time. Even stalwart fans who loved the base game may want to think twice before dropping the price of admission on this updated version and starting from scratch for a couple of post-game goodies.

Disgaea 7 Complete is the best way to play Disgaea 7. It includes all the DLC from the original base game and more. It may not add much to the core of Disgaea 7 but it really doesn’t need to.

Disgaea 7 Complete is a jam-packed version of Disgaea 7 with all previously released DLC, new story content, new features, and gameplay tweaks that make it the definitive edition of the strategy RPG. Although Disgaea 7 Complete doesn't revamp the game in a major way, it offers a lot of fun and engaging content with a easy pick-up-and-play combat system that will make the hours fly by before you know it. There are dozens of hours to be spent in Disgaea 7 Complete, all of which looks crisp and ...

Disgaea 6 Complete’s performance improvements are significant alongside including all previous DLC but changes little from the original’s various flaws.

The content included in Disgaea 6 Complete is what you’d expect from a “complete” package. All the DLC characters and colors are available, with classic characters like Disgaea 3’s Mao and Disgaea 5’s Killia being included alongside Hololive v-tubers if you’re that kind of weeb. It’s a pretty strong collection of content for series fans. For newcomers, the characters can be recruited pretty much immediately and are quite good, making the already simpler game even easier.

Ah Disgaea, you are a uniquely attractive and enticing series. Resting on its ultra-anime and fan servicey laurels, Disgaea as a series leads the pack when it comes to niche Strategy Role Playing Games (SRPG). Initially released as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny (which we previously reviewed) dropped in mid-2021 to moderate fanfare and acclaim. Never a series to truly break through into the mainstream, it has enjoyed a dedicated fanbase since its inception in 2003.

Disgaea 6: Complete is one of those ideas that sounds better on paper than it does in real life. I’m sorry, that probably sounds too harsh. Especially coming from someone who’s as big a fan of the Disgaea franchise as me. But here’s the issue: the Disgaea franchise is notorious for re-releasing old games on new consoles. This is great because you can always play classic Disgaea in each console generation. It’s also terrible because it can be hard to tell which version is the best option.

This new entry into the Disgaea series makes some good changes with the 3D models and auto battler being particular highlights. Plus, the move to PC has fixed the various performance issues that were present on the Switch and having all of the DLC bundled together is a nice bonus. Even so, the overall package offers less value than its predecessors with it having fewer classes, weaker characters, and a general lack of gameplay innovation. Disgaea 6 Complete is still a decent entry, but it's a...

Disgaea has always stood out among strategy RPGs due to the sheer spectacle of the thing. Ludicrous characters, absurd tactics, and insane damage numbers: it's a franchise that has always taken things to the next level. Disgaea 6: Complete, we're glad to say, continues that trend, and somehow even manages to ratchet things up further.

While there were key elements that could be ironed out when it first was released for Nintendo Switch, there’s a bevy of underlying issues that has stayed with the core structure. Even after a year, I’m truly heartbroken over Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny. The story and cast of character are some of the least compelling you’ll find in the series, and while the combat has its rewarding moments, it feels unbalanced due to the overly-chaotic nature of leveling and attribute values even early on. It doesn’t help that there’s a focus on the AI playing the game for you, making it feel like a borderline free-to-play mobile game at times. The only thing complete about this is the amount of content stuffed in this small package. Complete comes with everything you may want from Disgaea 6, but what this has done to the franchise has been a huge disappointment. At least you can recruit some of the members of Hololive on your team.
