The least funny Disgaea yet, but arguably the best in terms of the actual gameplay – even if there is a lack of genuinely new ideas.

A huge depth of options in terms of the combat itself and the character and customisation, but all of it is introduced in a sensibly controlled manner; Some nice 2D animation

The script and characters are amongst the least interesting in the series, and Killia in particular is a real bore; A lack of major new ideas and a built-in reliance on level grinding

I've spent the last 10 evenings in almost total isolation. I've locked all the doors, drawn all the curtains, put on the headphones and focussed solely on

Satisfying combat; A bevy of things to do

Lackluster story; A little too much grinding

It's no real surprise that Nippon Ichi's Disgaea is hitting new-gen. Since its inception back in 2003 new chapters have been released at regular intervals. Although this new game sports a 5 in its title, those five entries have to be added to the direct continuation of the first Disgaea title (that...

Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance is an excellent Japanese turn-based role playing game. The deep battle mechanics define it as one of the most original strategic role-playing games, rivalling the Fire Emblem franchise and Final Fantasy Tactics in content.

I am greatly enjoying this wonderful addition to the Disgaea franchise. It has everything there that makes it feels like a Disgaea game, but adds fresh new features, story and characters so it doesn't feel stale nor repetitive. If you like Disgaea, then you owe it to yourself to get this game.

Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance marks the arrival of Nippon Ichi Software's tactical RPG series on current gen systems. The franchise has been doing the rounds for over ten years, since first debuting on the PlayStation 2.

Funny characters; Charming 2D graphics; Hours of content

The isometric view makes surveying maps tough at times

awesome good time

Great story, great characters, great art style.....you can see where I am going with this. This game is great....there I said it. There is so much customization in this game, that I will never be able to complete it.

Bought this after playing the demo although I'd already played Other disgaea games before. Disgaea 5 (this game) is my favourite of the lot, it's definitely more story focused with a longer campaign which is a better thing. All the humour and great strategy gameplay is still there.

Lol,yea right I'm.going to buy this game
