I adore the first Disgaea but due to having replayed it so many times and in so many different formats, the story no longer holds as much interest for me. Saying which title has the most interesting story is always going to be a subjective thing but personally I find Disgaea 4 takes the title easily. If you fancy playing an entry that bucks the trend of the anti-hero protagonist then this one’s definitely for you. Disgaea 2 doesn’t do anything particularly wrong and a lot of the side characters and mechanics carry through to the other games with the side character Axel now a firm fan-favourite. It did receive a port to PC but like Disgaea PC and various other PSP ports it feels a lot like a very rough port of the original PSP release. It’s odd how Disgaea 2 feels like the forgotten title in the series. If you want to read more on this check out my review of the NS ports here. This leaves us with the recently ported Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero and Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! Ghouls and Ghosts style action platformer games not for the faint of heart. There’s a visual novel on the PSP ( Disgaea Infinite) but again this is based on Disgaea 1 and you’ll get a lot more from the story knowing who everyone is first. There is a manga and an anime series based on the first Disgaea game but they’re hard sells to non-fans as they are kinda disappointingly generic. If you really want to enjoy some Disgaea content and don’t really like strategy games at all, the 2 Prinny games might be for you. Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? PSP / NS
With the Complete edition now including all the extra DLC you’ll get a lot of bang for your buck. It’s a great way to see it’s for you and your progress carries into the main game. There is a free to play demo that’s surprisingly huge and this is on both systems. The classes, systems and a slower pacing into the mechanics makes Disgaea 5 the easiest for newcomers. It’s quicker to get into and easier to figure out than the previous entries, with little hints and tips dotted around for you to find.
There’s a lot of goodness to be had so here’s a breakdown of some of the best bits! The easiest to learn –ĭisgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance PS4 / NSĭisgaea 5 was released before the remaster of Disgaea 1 and was everything the previous games brought to the table and a lot more. The stories typically involve the netherworld in some way and although they all take place in a similar universe, nothing is really that binding and there’s only 1 canonical sequel and that’s Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness on PS3. The series is known for great SRPG ( strategy role play game) gameplay with an isometric viewpoint and incredibly high allowances for stats leading to levels in the thousands. The first title reached EU shores back in 2004 but the first launch of the series was a year prior in Japan with Disgaea: Hour of Darkness on the PS2.
