Critic Reviews for Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance
Though it still feels a little familiar, Disgaea 5 freshens up its excellent gameplay with some fun new features.
If you turn the volume down and skip through the story you'll find yourself with a neat strategic battler that seemingly goes on forever, but it's hard to get by with just that part of a game when you're paying for the full package.
If you're looking for a meaty, turn-based, tactical RPG, Disgaea 5 won't steer you wrong. It has a ton of content to explore, classes and characters to master, and a robust post-game that provides hours of entertainment
Disgaea 5 is the biggest and most satisfying installment in the series to date, and It could easily be the last one you ever need to buy.
Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance is a step in the right direction for the series, adding various new mechanics that help streamline the experience. Having the ability to move freely after an initial action is something the series desperately needed, as accidentally placing characters in the wrong location has been a common frustration.
An enjoyable strategy RPG that refuses to become po-faced, Disgaea 5 is let-down only by a so-so narrative and an over-reliance on XP farming.
Overall, for those looking for their Strategy RPG fix, especially on the PS4, should definitely pick up Disgaea 5. The new features make the gameplay experience even better. Of course, the over the top humorous setting of the game, including the story and the characters never ceases to entertain.
Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance may not have the best story or cast in the series, but it gets the job done, and brings a ton of advancements with it in the process. I'll probably be playing this one for years to come, and I sincerely hope NIS is able to continue this series. It's still one of the best SRPG franchises in the business.
