I did not beat the main story but with 60+ hours I can safely say this is the worst Disgaea I've played. The story and characters aren't engaging at all which is a shame because the artwork is always good. The designs are fine. On the surface this should be a decent Disgaea experience but it's not.
I have no issues with the 3D models but everything else is executed so poorly. Including the models! Not because they are 3D but because the animations for them are rehashed and they never have any unique ones. If they were going to nuke the game of so much character in place of the new look at least commit to it.
Speaking of 3D models, I'm assuming the change is why the Switch version nearly combusts when playing. I can;t speak for others bit the performance varied every time I loaded the game. A lot of overheating and stuttering just walking around the overworld. In battles it was worse.
Many of the staple Disgaea classes have been removed from this game for whatever reason. And they removed a lot of fun mechanics prior to Disgaea games just to add in a play itself feature. I don't mind the option but with everything else gutted what would be the point of it? The game seems to want to have f2p mobile mechanics but charge retail.
One positive is I like the reincarnation feature, I think this had potential to really be unique to this game but like everything else it feels bare bones and executed poorly.
Insult to injury, when it finally hit steam Nippon Ichi set it for $70. Same game with maybe a few dlc characters/color palletes. Not sure if they fixed anything because I wasn't paying that price.
No clue what Nippon Ichi was thinking with this one but this ain't it. Hope whenever Disgaea 7 releases that they learned from this one.
