HG: Disgaea 4: A Promise Revisited, forged by the sorcerers at Nippon Ichi Software, is a sopping time-sponge, easily capable of absorbing the better part of a college course in finding better analogies. And while I love the game, my relationship with it is no doubt an abusive one. On the one hand, all the creative cogs are oiled and spinning, delivering both new and classic content to the Vita port of fan-favorite, Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten. In only a handful of hours, it climbed its way onto my desert island items list -- along with my Vita, couch, snacks, house, car and yacht (in case I get bored of the island).
Is there anything better than NISA games? Why yes, NISA games at up to 80% their normal prices.
Cubed:
NIS has always had a wonderfully weird and delightfully eccentric catalogue of games, and the series that has served as their flagship, sticking out its tongue and making armpit farts at the helm, has been Disgaea. At their core, they have always been some of the most hardcore of SRPG titles, a genre so dense and unapproachable that newcomers will always need to venture in with their machete if they are to have even the slightest of hope of getting to the core of the game. Disgaea has always balanced this out by having some of the most light-heartedly, irreverent, and funny plots that could be hoped for, and the contrast between the seriousness of the gameplay and silliness of the dialogue has been a winning formula few games have managed to parallel. Disgaea 4: A Promise Revisited continues in the trend set by its predecessors, but it perhaps does the formula better than any of them. This is just a wickedly fun SRPG that succeeds on every front and is perhaps the best reason to buy a PS Vita to date.
Digitally Downloaded writes: "The PlayStation Vita has had a difficult life to date, though it has been moderately successful in Japan, and that means one thing; it has had a lot of JRPGs developed for it. A disproportionate number of them, in fact."
Of course its not an ordinary remake: its a port.
