Sean Smith: "This is undoubtedly the finest handheld version of the Disgaea-verse that you could possibly wish to own. It gives you a scaled-down, but not pared-back port of one of the highlights of the series, and offers a near-endless amount of tactical RPG fun. You are always learning when you take on the mantle of fulfilling Valvatorez’s honourable promises, and vicariously helping him on his crusade against corruption and wrongdoing. While things haven’t moved on tremendously over the staggering eleven years of its existence, Disgaea is a thing of real beauty and depth, that arguably works at its best on the go."
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."
