    Pointless and directionless. Seriously a lot more rpg style games on switch to consider before buying this trash.

    What a stupid game. Grindy as hell The game itself tactically may be ok but wading through the dumb dialogue is awful. Awful. Background music is awful, story is awful, erased it off my switch immediately for fear that the mind numbingly dumbness would spread to me. No thanks. A waste of money. Glad I got it on sale. I have currently bought 3 of the 4 disgaea games on the switch thinkingWhat a stupid game. Grindy as hell The game itself tactically may be ok but wading through the dumb dialogue is awful. Awful.

I have currently bought 3 of the 4 disgaea games on the switch thinking maybe I will get a good one and I haven't found one I like. Not that I don't like tactics games or roleplaying games, I just don't like THESE tactics and roleplaying games. What are you guys smoking to give this game a 8-10 Expand

    The story could’ve been more engaging but I intend to come back to D5 regularly for months. [08/2017, p.65]

    Disgaea 5: Complete was like finding a hidden gem for me personally and even if you’re not normally a fan of tactical RPG’s, I highly recommend that you give it a try. Beautifully simple yet complex over time, Complete is a game worth owning.

    That's not something to double-dip for if you already own Disgaea 5 on PS4, but if you don't, get the entire base game on the go here! [Issue #28 – July/August 2017, p. 76]
