Disgaea 4: A Promise Revisited is an expanded and enhanced version of the 2011 release, Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten. Unlike the prior entry, which released on Playstation 3, A Promise Revisited is now available for mobile gamers on the Playstation Vita. This updated entry adds new scenarios, characters, spells, and more. For those new to the series, such as myself, will the game hold up? Or will the game simply suffice as fan-service for those who have invested a great deal of time in the series?
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.

lower rating due to learning curve of newcomers?
personally i like a steep learning curve. too many games today hold your hand through the whole thing. its nice to see a game that can be a challenge for once
I wouldn't even call this a review. All the author does is praise the graphics and voice acting, give a short plot overview, and then talk about how big of a learning curve it has.
This is a very deep game and the author didn't mention a single feature of the game besides story mode. The genre is strategy rpg so of course it will be difficult especially toward the end.
I really enjoy this game but would like to see a review that actually talks about some of the things you can do in the game. There's the item world, reverse-pirating, I mean they didn't even mention the war room. Way too incomplete.
