I love the entire Disgaea series, I haven't really played one that I did not enjoy. This game falls right into that pattern, tons of damage and a ton of leveling ability. A whole lot of fun to be had.

If you are looking for a tactical/strategy RPG, or a game in general, that is both fun and packed with content that will soak up hours look no further than Disgaea 5. The fact that the game can be taken on the road with the Switch is great as well. I found the depth a little daunting at first as I've never played a game in the Disgaea series. However I was able to quickly pick up on the mechanics and game-play by reading through the in-game tutorials and experimenting. May not bother most, but, I found some of the voice acting annoying at times, so, the ability to switch to Japanese with English subtitles was a nice addition.

It’s Disgaea, so you know what you are in for: hundreds of hours of strategy grinding, with cute characters and funny dialogue. The difference maker this time is the ability to play portable, which is PERFECT for a game like this. You can pull it out while waiting for an appointment and get a battle taken care of. The Switch is a godsend for games of this nature.

Based on the ongoing Japanese Simulation Role Playing Game genre (SRPG) or Tactical RPG, Disgaea 5 Complete Edition gives you hours of turn based strategy and a ton of Japanese styled comedy that you can play at home or take on the go. Set in the Netherworld, you play as a bunch of anime-styled demons attempting to defeat the demon emperor, Void Dark. Of course your characters range from the whole spectrum of anime archetypes - so be prepared for buxom beauties, pretty boys, cute monsters and outrageous attitudes all out for revenge! The gameplay is done in tactical turnbased battles where weapons, character types and positions on a 3d grid enviroment is the key to victory. There will be advantages and disadvantages based on the characters you choose as well as whether or not a character does Melee style or ranged attacks for example. You can also combine with other characters to do fusion attacks as well as have character special moves. There are a tons of allies to eventually choose from and you will be finding hours of content here. Since this is the complete edition, you get additionanl scenarios and characters not found in the original PS4 disc release. The music was fresh and the art style pretty appealing. The banter between the characters as well as the situations can be hilarious! If you've never played this series before and are not keen on Japanese anime trope comedy, I would suggest watching a few gameplay videos to see if the style meets your liking. Otherwise, if you crave great battle strategy gameplay with some beautiful characters and funny situations, this is a must - especially to play on the road.

Behind all the quirkiness tongue and cheeck humor lays a deep game. With tons and I mean tons to do from leveling up to setting up a board meeting to pass a vote. Just got to say best game on Switch besides Botw. Portable, addictive and fun. There is a learning curve but once you get over that its open season. Buy it
