A review where you choose the score
Disgaea 5 Completeis a Switch port of the original PS4 game, with all of itsrelatively pricey DLC included. This the firstDisgaeagame to hit a Nintendo console sinceDisgaea DSin 2008, giving Nintendo loyalists plenty of reason to be hungry for the unique blend of sacrilegious storytelling and turn-based action that the series is known for. Being the home toFire Emblem, arguably the most popular Strategy JRPG series in the world right now, also helps to make Nintendo consoles particularly fertile ground for something likeDisgaea. That’s probably why game has alreadytopped 110,000 pre-orders.
