[Review] Disgaea 5 Complete (by YouNa)
Disgaea 5. This game is made by Nippon Ichi Software and published by NIS America. The Disgaea series is known for being a masterpiece of 'Nippon Ichi Software' and being loved by many fans. Even players who try this series for the first time can easily adapt to the game. Moreover, once you start to discover the charm of Disgaea, it's hard to stop. Disgaea 5 was originally released on PS4 for the first time in the series. Disgaea 5 boasts very high game performance and graphics. Thanks to these points, Disgaea 5 can have over 100 characters. There are also a number of advantages such as perfect 60 frames and detailed high-quality images. So Disgaea 5 is probably the best Japanese art style SRPG. Finally, players can now enjoy the Disgaea 5 Complete on Steam as well.
This game has a solid performance that is much better than previous games including huge maps, massive characters, and gorgeous combat effects, making it the best in the series. As mentioned previously, you can easily see more than 100 characters on the field and there is no frame degradation or loading problems. Skills and event scenes will further enhance your enjoyment of the game. The dot images implemented in the game have also become very detailed. In addition, 3D rendering and effects have been enhanced, and the appearance of objects and regions has also been improved. This really shows how far the series has evolved.
The features of Disgaea 5's gameplay itself are also noteworthy. The most noticeable part is the addition of attributes, weapon attachment systems, and the wide range of attacks that were excluded from the previous series. The weapons system has also changed. Thanks to the system that allows two weapons, a lot of possibilities can be experimented with various job classes and species. This creates some unique fun in battles and enables special combo attacks including magic.
There are also some fresh new features. There is Revenge Mode, which aims to reverse the situation, and team attacks that can be used in special relationships such as lovers or rivals. You can also collect and manage only the characters you want by the squad system. Revenge Mode, a feature that can be used when your damage reaches a certain threshold, can reverse the entire battle. When this function is activated, all of your abilities will be increased and your SP will be fixed at 1 for special skills. All attacks are also triggered by Critical, so you can see incredible battle animations that are difficult to normally see. There are also team attacks with colleagues which are an important part of Disgaea 5. As you progress through the story of this game you will experience them inevitably, and the effects on team attacks are quite gorgeous. Furthermore, the squad system helps you play games more efficiently and systematically. Like team attacks, squad skills allow you to use various strategies in this game.
There is so much fun to be had with this game that it wouldn't all fit into this review. With the continued release of series, the downsides continue to decline and added convenient features make the game more enjoyable for over 999 hours. The Disgaea series provides users with a stable and enjoyable gameplay experience that could get anyone hooked. However, since it is a game that is faithful to the basics of SRPGs, users who do not enjoy the genre may have difficulty getting used to it. To solve this issue, Nippon Ichi Software has brought charming stories, characters, and game convenience improvements. So I am sure that anyone can easily enjoy Disgaea 5, whether you are a hard core player or a casual one. I recommend Disgaea 5 as a game definitely worth your time.
