    The story of Disgaea 7 is set in a Japanese style netherworld called "Hinomoto Netherworld Cluster," which has been taken away its "Bushido" and is in shambles by the hands of demon admiral Opener.

    The odd duo of lone samurai named Fuji and a Hinomoto otaku girl named Piririka set out on a journey spanning all of Hinomoto to obtain the legendary weapons known as the "Seven Blades of Origin" in order to defeat the corrupt Oedo Shogunate.

    Can Fuji, Pirika, and the odd balls they meet along the way regain the honorable Hinomoto once more...?

    Disgaea is a Strategy RPG set in a netherworld where anything goes.

    The story progresses by forming an army with the unique allies you meet on your journey, training them, and going on quests to various locations in the netherworld.

    Enjoy creating characters and armies of your own concept, and battles where the damage numbers will go into the tens of millions!

    Disgaea 7 offers up yet another enjoyable entry in the long-running series, offering up a more refined take on the famously in-depth gameplay systems. New mechanics such as Jumbification add some interesting wrinkles to the SRPG battles, while new modes like competitive ranked online bring even more playability to a game that’ll take you hundreds of hours to see to completion. Perhaps best of all, Disgaea 7 is very newcomer-friendly, though we will add that the very deliberate and measured approach to min-maxing isn’t for everyone. Whether you’re looking for an excellent new RPG to sink a lot of time into or you’ve been a fan of Disgaea since the PS2 days, Disgaea 7 is a worthwhile entry that we’d recommend you pick up when you can.

    Disgaea 7 picks things back up in a great way after the stumbling of the sixth installment. It’s a big silly game with a big silly heart, pulling you in with its approachable nature and then sending you down a deep, dark hole of systems to play with. Disgaea fans often spend hundreds of hours playing each game. Some of those games deserve that, and some perhaps don’t. This one? It’s worth spending a ton of time with, so long as you aren’t wholly burnt out on the franchise’s antics already.

    Disgaea 7 wants to reinvent the tactical RPG series for a new generation, and it passes the test with flying colours. Thanks to its improved gameplay mechanics, a comically engaging plot, enormous amount of content to explore, and added game modes, there is virtually no aspect in Disgaea 7 that is not an improvement over its previous chapters. It all amounts to a game that not only earned its place in the Nintendo Switch catalogue for Disgaea fans but also for newcomers who have never had contact with the series before.

    Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless might just be the best game in the series, with engaging tactics gameplay and a whole lot of charm.

    Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless may not be the revolutionary chapter we were promised, but overall we are more than satisfied with the work done by the guys at Nippon Ichi Software, who after the various missteps made with the previous episode have rolled up your sleeves to get the series back on track. Some interventions seemed excessive and not always in focus, such as the reintroduction of the hospital, nevertheless the title works much better than its direct predecessor, also thanks to a more refined technical component, a main cast even crazier than usual and a handful of very innovative innovations. As long as you haven't developed an allergy to grinding, NIS's latest effort will satisfy your palates and give you hundreds of hours of entertainment.

    After the disappointing Disgaea 6, the new installment in the popular NIS franchise is a return to form.

    Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless is a difficult SRPG to push through if you have no previous experience with the series. But you’ve got to start somewhere, right? And once you get into the flow of it, you may find yourself losing a month or two to the game’s unique elements, tricky systems, and joyful charms.
