Disgaea 7: Vows Of The Virtueless Review – The Best Entry So Far

Disgaea is back with a blast.

From Nippon Ichi Software comes the latest entry in the long-running Disgaea franchise, Disgaea 7: Vows Of The Virtueless. On the title’s official Steam page, it reads ‘Disgaea is back and better than ever,’ and you know what, that statement rings true for the most part.

The game polishes up all the mechanics from the previous games, while also introducing a ton of new content to keep the formula fresh. So let’s dive into the review and see what the hype is all about.

Story And Setting

Instead of the classic Netherworld setting that the Disgaea series is known for, this game is set in an Edo-era Japanese setting this time around. The story starts off with Pirilika, a wealthy businesswoman who is engrossed by the land of Hinomoto Netherworlds.

On her first journey there, she quickly realizes that the people of Hinomoto have long forgotten the concepts of Bushido and have become enamored with power. She also lands herself in a bit of trouble soon enough, and Fuji, our protagonist, intervenes to save her just as she is about to be attacked.

VERDICT

Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless is possibly the pinnacle of the series’ trademark formula. Whether it’s fine-tuning existing mechanics or introducing new ones to keep the formula fresh, it does everything better than ever before.

The game is also visually appealing, with flowing animations and an excellent soundtrack. Although there are some performance concerns with the Nintendo Switch, they are not significant enough to prevent you from playing the game.

And because there is no actual bridge to the prior games’ stories, Disgaea 7 is the ideal starting place for newcomers to the series. Furthermore, the game concepts are simple to comprehend but difficult to master, making it ideal for those looking for an outstanding SRPG to play.

Score: 4/5
