We started SwitchUp as we just didn’t find what we were looking for in what was already out there. There are some brilliant creators - but we enjoyed a more retro format like the old gaming magazines. Scoring 5 sections out of 20 to give a percentage score like the good old days! Hopefully, you enjoyed our more unusual style. We’ll always try and cover any new Nintendo Switch games, Top Nintendo Switch games or Upcoming releases as best we can.
For all things Switch all the time, keep it SwitchUp!
Mark and Glen

Are there any Disgaea fans here? Which is the best to get on the Switch - 1, 4 or 5? Let us know. Happy gaming. Glen

I've always wanted to play one of them but I'm not sure where to start. Do they have a story order or can they be played individually without worrying to be lost in the story?

@SwitchUpYt 4 жыл бұрын

I’m not entirely sure as I’ve only played this one and a bit of 5 but I think they are self contained stories. Glen

As it's hard to take the step back from D5/D4 to D1, I'd say both D5 or D4 would do best for starting off with the series. Of course Disgaea in handheld is glorious, I have put countless hours into D5 and I finished D1 as well, can't wait to play D4 when I get the time. Taking advantage of the game's systems is the name of the game, so keep that in mind when starting off. Have fun!

Easily my all time favorite in the series. The dynamic between the characters and their designs is the strongest of the titles, and it had some solid, refined game play that improved on what was established in past titles.

I feel like 5 had more memorable main characters but D4 was my first that I played and its definitely overwhelming at first but once you get in that groove it's a great time. Well said Glen about everything, I'm mostly excited to play this on the go.

D5 was the 2nd game I got for switch and I put like 200 hours into it and loved it so yea I'm getting this one lol...its a game that can take awhile to grasp all you can do but if you like leveling up everything and anything this game has you covered

@wesnohathas1993 4 жыл бұрын

I've already played Disgaea 5 and have now started 4. I'm finding the step backward to be rather jarring, so I can't say I recommend starting with the most recent one if you plan to play the others.

@Hambs23 4 жыл бұрын

Nice review. Disgaea can be very overwhelming indeed. I think 4 clamps a bit too much of it's mechanics on top of each other, specially with the Cam-Pain. It's fun when you get everything to work, but goddamn, sometimes organizing all the Evil Sybols, Deputy positioning, Cabinet Members, Cheat Shop, Equipment, Active and Passive skills, takes a lot longer than the combat. Anyway, a few things to add on your review: - 2:23 Team Attacks can only be performed with a 1 range attack. - 3:33 Yes, lifting and throwing were around since the first game. It functions simillar to Magichange where everyone on the tower gets an equal portion of EXP and Mana when they kill a unit. Also, there's a glitch in all games except 5 (and D2? Never played that one) that if you switch directions and press the "Throw" button while the cursor is moving you can throw in diagonals. Not very easy to be precise, nor is required to beat the game, but can save some time. - 4:46 You can't skip Magichange and Fusion animations after they begin, but if you hold ZR before selecting any of those actions(aka Switch's R2) it'll skip automatically. Holding ZR skips every animation, as long as you've seen them once in your playthrough. You can also hold B to speed up animations, though like pressing X, it doesn't work with Magichange and Fusion. - 5:50 I'm not sure if you can unlock more slots, but humanoid characters have 1 unique Evility and 1 empty Evility Slot, while monster characters have 1 Unique and 2 Empty Slots. By the way, Magichange only gives the monster's Unique Evility to it's holder, not the full package unfortunately. Again, very nice and easy to digest video. Just trying to help.

Glad I watched this review! It's been a while since I played Disgaea, and I've only played 1 and got to try 2 a bit. I'm still on the fence about buying 4 on Switch (not interested in 5 at the moment, 4 initially caught my attention since one of my fave voice actors is in it...) but this review makes me a bit more convinced to buy it. Being able to see 4's new features in action in this video review helps! I'll probably finally buy it if I end up liking the demo...

I personally feel that 5 has better gameplay and tutorials, but 4 has better characters and story. I’d say the gameplay of 5 is 5/5 and the story is 3/5, and for 4 I’d say the gameplay and story are both 4/5. But I’m just a random guy on the internet and this comment is 10 months old so I’m sure you made the choice already.

I’ve never been a fan of turn based games, but lately I’ve bought Octopath and Ni No Kuni. I’ve yet to play either of them, but look forward to getting to the. I definitely enjoy the artwork in this game, but will have to wait to see if I enjoy turn based. The zooming in and out seems like it would get on my nerves. Also appears daunting to pick this game up and just play.

@Synathidy 3 жыл бұрын

1, 4, 5 is not the actual release order. Disgaea released first on PS2 (the "Disgaea 1" now ported to Switch). Disgaea 2 followed on PS2. 3 and 4 came on PS3. And now 5 has been released on PS4/Switch, along with ports of 1 and 4, which were already released before. So the "release order" has been quite normal. The "port order" has been selective.

@Synathidy 3 жыл бұрын

Well, I guess if you don't find using your brain to be engaging and fun, then they won't be fun. Disgaea takes a little effort to learn how to play the first time, but then it's pretty easy. The games are nuanced. However, there are children who can figure them out. At least half the appeal of Disgaea for me is in the dialogue and zaniness of the characters and plot. Not even close to imitated in any other game franchise.
