Disgaea 1 Review(Expanded) by LoC

This is an expanded and revised version of the original Disgaea review I wrote on March 28th 2008. Enjoy!

I have about 1 chapter of Disgaea left to play, but I have seen enough to write a fair review.

Story: An interesting, clever, and at times
hilarious story keeps you entertained every step of the way. The cast
of characters that you meet along the way range from a bratty and
arrogant Prince(Laharl), a not so loyal vassal(Etna), a love obsessed
Angel trainee/assassin(Flonne), a space Super-Hero with a
stereotypically “Heroic” voice( Gordon), and many other interesting
characters.


Gameplay: While it isn’t quite as refined as the
battle system in Makai Kingdom, the gameplay is still superb. The game
is easy to pick up and learn, with enough meat to keep you busy and
entertained for a long time. The Dark Council system is interesting,
but can be rather frustrating at times. There is a huge number of
classes and sub-classes available to use and unlock, although most of
the best ones take seemingly forever to get.


Sound: Solid sound effects, voice acting, and a nice soundtrack. Not bad at all.


Graphics: They aren’t that fancy, but they fit the games style perfectly fine. No complaints from me.


Overall: A must for any and all Strategy/RPG fans.
Give it a try if you never did before. With many secret stages,multiple
endings, and unlockable classes, there is much to keep you playing
through numerous times. BUY IT!
