Disgaea 1 Complete

I love the Disgaea series, but Disgaea mobile takes the cake from what the original will approve on. I hope someday nippon ichi software makes Disgaea 2, 3, d2, 5, makai, infinite, prinny, and prinny 2. The auto battle option is pretty good, but sometimes the ai won’t throw others, geo symbols, or enemies to strategize in a few levels, and the grinding system is great too. I like when I can put my phone under my pillow while I sleep, and the next morning, laharl is level 9999. This is one of the best games I have ever played, and the 32.99 was worth every penny.

Nice port to iOS but it needs a quick save like in the nds port. Not being able to quick save while in the item world means you have to either get to the next 10x level or waste a gency if you have to put your phone down for whatever reason -- otherwise the game will get terminated and you'll have to revert to your last save.

It’s stupid that you have to take so long before you can actually utilize the dark assemblies and mana to recruit us super stupid. It’s also extremely difficult. Wish I could get a refund.

I played the original on PS2 and also on PSP back in the days put in several hours into it now it’s on the IPad and Iphone I can say an complete A+ Experience. All the quality of life improvement make this game an amazing game. I will say Auto Battle is needed to be in all the DISGAEA’ s game from here on as it make it so much fun to play while also doing other stuff as well.

I love this game but the problem is that I can’t play music from other apps while this one is running like an audiobook.

No real complaints, I just love that I had the opportunity to write that bug report.

Disgaea is a great game, but unfortunately the mobile implementation does it no favors for reasons that should have been blatantly obvious during development. The touch controls are way too janky, which might be mitigated by auto battle feature, if auto battle worked as advertised. Setting gate priority doesn’t actually target the gate until your char has killed like half the map in the item world. Even with gate priority on and a gate reachable on the very first turn, your character will run past it to fight some random mob and get swarmed first. Even at this price point I would have gotten Disgaea 4 now that it’s out if it weren’t for these issues, but nope, looks like they repeated their mistakes all over I can’t figure out for the life of me why they didn’t include a dpad option for the control scheme, 90% of the free junk in the App Store has it and yet a full console port can’t?

I’ve been a big fan of Disgaea ever since it first came out on the PlayStation 2, which was played with a controller and I feel it’s entirely possible to give this game full controller support, meaning the ability to adjust which buttons do what. Considering the games price I don’t think that’s too much of a stretch for the developers to add this as a feature.

Sinking dozens of hours into the game only to have your whole party swapped out by NPC charters and loose all your equipment is a little deviating. Having it happen years after launch is unacceptable. Common NIS. I buy most of your games day one on other platforms, but this will probably keep me well away from any iOS titles

The original Disgaea is a classic, but this port is such a flawless execution of the original that I had to write this review. It can be hard sometimes with screen space being obviously smaller than the PS2 screens it was originally intended for, but somehow the developers made this work. Other companies that port games to mobile need to take advice from the guys that did the work on this game.
