Disgaea 7: Complete Edition Lands on Switch... But Is It 'Complete' Enough?
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
NIS America is bringing *Disgaea 7 Complete* to the Switch, promising all the DLC goodness, but whether it truly lives up to the 'Complete' moniker remains to be seen; prepare for tactical RPG chaos!
Right, so NIS America just dropped a trailer for *Disgaea 7 Complete*, and, fair dinkum, it looks pretty much like you'd expect: Over-the-top tactical RPG action, mountains of numbers, and enough special attacks to make your graphics card weep. It's heading to the Switch, which is hardly surprising, but the real question is... is it actually worth the upgrade?
Now, IGN South Africa was the first to break the news with a release date announcement trailer – good on 'em. The game's already out in Japan, and we're getting the “Complete” edition, which usually means all the DLC bundled in. But, and this is a big but, *Disgaea* games are notorious for having *so much content* that “complete” can sometimes feel like a suggestion rather than a promise. I reckon true completionists will still be hunting for that one elusive item a year from now.
The trailer itself is a whirlwind of flashing lights and chaotic combat – exactly what you want from a *Disgaea* game, really. We're talking gigantic swords, anime explosions, and characters who seem to be having a competition to see who can shout the loudest. It’s got that wonderfully absurd Japanese sense of humor that’s either your cup of tea or sends you running for the hills. No in between, mate!
But, let's be real here. The *Disgaea* series is a bit like Marmite: You either love the grind or you loathe it. The sheer depth and complexity can be overwhelming, even for seasoned tactical RPG veterans. You're talking about levelling characters into the thousands, mastering classes, and exploiting intricate systems that could keep you occupied for hundreds of hours. (Sounds strangely similar to some Web3 games, eh? Except, you know, without the “invest-to-earn” angle).
So, should you dive in? Well, if you're a *Disgaea* fan, it's probably a no-brainer. You're getting the latest installment with all the bells and whistles (presumably). If you're new to the series, it's a bit trickier. The “Complete” edition is arguably the best starting point, but be prepared for a steep learning curve and a serious time commitment. Think of it like this: you're about to enroll in a university-level course on tactical RPG gameplay. You might earn a diploma in optimized character builds, but you might also spend a few sleepless nights cursing the Item World.
Ultimately, *Disgaea 7 Complete* looks like more *Disgaea*, which is exactly what its fans want. Whether it's genuinely “complete” remains to be seen, but I’m optimistically chaotic enough to believe that whatever shenanigans await us in this new edition will be, at the very least, bloody interesting.
