Each member of your crew is distinct and memorable and breathes such life into each story scene and battle. I really want to emphasize just how much the characters of Complete make the game. Sure, sometimes Seraphina’s “Oh-hohohohoho!” grates on the ears, but it’s largely the exception to what are some really solid performances all around. The interactions between Seraphina and Red Magnus are gold and made even better by the game’s copious voice acting.

Similarly, the softhearted Red Magnus shines as a lovable meathead with the ultimate goal of becoming the most powerful demon in all of Hell. Princess Seraphina, the Overlord of Gorgeous (yes, really), serves as a hilarious over-the-top foil to Killia’s loner persona and provides some genuine laugh-out-loud moments as she parades around shooting prinnies and flirting with our hero. Killia plays the serious role well and keeps the player guessing about his past, but comes off a bit archetypal and is hardly the main draw out of such a colorful cast. Instead, in typical Disgaea fashion, the campaign is full of campy, lighthearted humor with some adult themes thrown in for good measure. The premise is fascinating but never takes itself too seriously.

If there’s one thing Disgaea 5 Complete isn’t lacking, it’s personality. The s tory follows moody, mysterious anti-hero Killia on his quest across Hell in search of the almighty Void Dark and his ruthless forces of evil. And you know what? It’s paid off in spades. Nippon Ichi Software has therefore taken a bit of a gamble by localizing and porting Disgaea 5 Complete to the Switch. Despite being well respected by fans of the genre, however, Disgaea never really took off in the West in the same way Tactics and Fire Emblem did.

Amongst them firmly sits Disgaea, a franchise that’s been almost exclusive to Sony barring 2008’s Disgaea DS. There are few names that really ring off in Strategy-RPG circles: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Wars, Valkyria Chronicles.
