Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance (Switch, PS4)

[blackslash]

Love this game so far but by gawd is it easy to get Sidetracked
I can spend hours just unequipping and equipping innocents, farming in item world, etc. and not even touch the main story lol

Great game but a tough one to be your first JRPG. They've built upon their battle system a lot and it's pretty complex now. It would be better to start out with Disgaea 1 if possible.

Disgaea 1 is. If it does well I'd imagine this one would. PS4 to PC ports are supposedly relatively easy.

the combat in the demo was so weird bruh its like a board game

The game is coming to Switch

Breh, I've logged way too many hours in the Item World leveling up weapons. Won't even be challenging battles but I'll be strategizing how to knock out every color panel in one move to fill the bonus gauge.

I still periodically jump on this to go on item world runs...haven't played the story missions in forever. I really should beat the damned game.

Heard there's supposed to be a demo for this on Switch, I want to try it out.
I'm pretty trash at Tactical RPG's but I'll give this one a shot cause I really dig the art style.

NIS came out and said this game flopped hard on the Switch in Japan (sold less than 20k units) but is doing well in pre-order throughout US and EU (114k sold in pre-orders).
NIS America looks west for success as Disgaea 5 Complete hits 110k pre-orders in US and Europe

The demo is now up on the eShop

wasn't gonna buy this but I'll support them so a Disgaea 6 gets made since this flopped in Japan.

I just want a D3 and then a remaster of disgaea 1 and D2

Did the PS4 version flop?

It makes too much sense to put this on the switch. On the couch, on the go. Can't lose.

I don't think it did that good in Japan either. This series has reached the point where non-Japanese sales sustain it.
