Disgaea 5 Complete is one of the most ambitious and content-rich entries in Nippon Ichi Software’s long-running tactical RPG series, offering a massive blend of chaos, charm, strategy, and grind-heavy progression. At its core, it tells the story of Killia, a lone warrior determined to stop the Overlord Void Dark, whose army is mercilessly conquering the Netherworlds. While the narrative begins in a familiar place—a rebel band rising against tyranny—the game quickly distinguishes itself through its eccentric characters, comedic writing, and the signature over-the-top tone that defines the series. Killia’s quiet intensity is offset by his loud, flamboyant companions, and their interactions form the backbone of a story that becomes surprisingly emotional beneath all the absurdity. What sets Disgaea 5 Complete apart is its sheer scope. Even the main campaign can stretch well past fifty hours, and that only scratches the surface of what the game offers. Every map is a grid-based battlefield with layers of tactical nuance: units can lift and throw each other to reach new positions, chain attacks across multiple tiles, or manipulate Geo Panels that alter terrain effects. The introduction of the Revenge System adds even more dynamism—characters who suffer losses or damage enter a heightened state with access to devastating abilities. Special moves explode across the screen in dramatic anime flair, and the game never stops celebrating its own theatricality. Beyond combat, Disgaea 5 Complete presents a galaxy of interconnected systems that allow for extreme customization and long-term mastery. You can assemble teams of dozens of units, reincarnate characters to retain stats and surpass traditional level caps, assign Innocents to equipment to boost attributes, and delve into the Item World—a dungeon that exists inside weapons or armor—to power them up through dozens of randomized floors. Then there’s the Dark Assembly, where you can petition for new features or bonuses by bribing Netherworld senators, a mechanic that blends strategy with comedy in classic Disgaea fashion. The result is a game that encourages experimentation as much as dedication; there is always a system to optimize, a stat to push higher, or a team synergy to refine. The “Complete” edition not only includes the main game but also all previously released DLC—additional characters, classes, and scenarios that expand the roster and deepen replay value. These additions make the package feel dense and overflowing with content, almost to an intimidating degree. For veterans of the series, this depth is a dream. For newcomers, it can be overwhelming, especially since the game doesn’t always onboard players smoothly. Tutorials explain the basics, but the more complex systems are often left to self-discovery, and players unfamiliar with Disgaea’s design philosophy may feel lost without external guidance. Presentation-wise, the game embraces a sharp anime aesthetic. Character portraits are expressive and colorful, attack animations are lavish, and the tone strikes a balance between playful and dramatic. The soundtrack features energetic tracks that fit the series’ identity, and both Japanese and English voice casts bring personality to every scene. On the PC side, however, the porting is not flawless—some users will notice soft UI elements or limited graphics settings. These technical blemishes don’t break the game but serve as reminders that the port was designed with function, not enhancement, in mind. For all its eccentricities, Disgaea 5 Complete stands as a monument to tactical RPG excess. Few games allow such outrageous damage numbers, such deeply customizable characters, or such long-term progression loops. It thrives on letting players break its systems, encouraging them to push past level 9,999, max out stats, and craft unstoppable teams capable of erasing enemies in seconds. This is a game that rewards commitment with near-limitless potential and celebrates the joy of grinding, optimizing, and experimenting. Ultimately, Disgaea 5 Complete is a superb choice for anyone who loves tactical RPGs that offer freedom, humor, and enormous depth. It’s not a light snack—it’s a feast. Players seeking a simple or short campaign may find it overwhelming, but those ready to dive into a strategy game with unmatched longevity will find an endlessly rewarding experience. Rating: 8/10

Don't play if you value your free time. There's way too much to do. You can level characters up to 9999.... and then reincarnate them and level them to 9999 again. You can level items ... forever. There's a cheat shop where you can adjust things like how much experience you get. And one of the options in the cheat shop is to make enemies STRONGER. Not weaker, stronger, because you need stronger enemies to grind so you can kill even stronger enemies. You like fighting bosses? You can fight bosses on every level of the item world. Just skip to the bosses. You can also steal their items and the item god 2 will have an ultimate weapon. Which you can duplicate by finding the right mystery room and having the triple jump ability to get to the top of the tower. Which you can duplicate again by doing the same thing. Want to create an uber-character that can kill almost anything? Just spend several hundred hours and you're there! You don't play this game, this game plays you. You've been warned, now buy it.

A great game that was unfortunately left with a rough PC port, even after the patches. Having to set the game to run on a single CPU core to prevent geometry from breaking, or the game just not capping itself to 60 FPS correctly/having frame stutters if you aren't in exclusive full screen make this extremely tough to recommend to friends who want to check out the series. Honorable mention to the rough period of time where a Windows 11 update made the game constantly crash for seemingly over a year, though this seems to be fixed now... At least for me. It would be great if PH3 could come around and fix up this port someday, just like what they recently did with Phantom Brave PC. Features like high refresh rate support, 16:10 or wider ratios, and higher fast forward speeds would be greatly appreciated.

Disgaea is one of my favourite games and especially the 5th one in my opinion is the magnum opus of NIS. The only thing i hope will be added in the future iterations is some sort of modding or at least community addons (like they added for ps4 version only), this way the post game will have infinite possibilities and not end on beating the Baal. -------------------------------------------------------------- FOR THOSE WHO ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH WINDOWS 11: I noticed that a lot of people are having massive issues with disgaea specifically on Windows 11, and although it's not NIS' fault, they probably wouldn't fix this especially for an older game like disgaea 5. I tried different solutions listed in the comments and searched online but nothing really helped me, in my case i had my whole PC freezing and only restarting the system manually would help. Now to the solution i found. It's a trick i've seen used in other games, you can download "Process Lasso" or other similar tool and do the following: Options -> CPU -> CPU Affinities -> Process Match: disgaea5.exe -> CPU Affinity, Select, check ALL except CPU 0 -> optinally you can set a delay of 5-10 seconds. What it does from my understanding is, it frees one of your processor cores and this way when disgaea freeses the whole pc, one core is still working separately and it can recover the system. This fixed the issue for me, i hope it helps!
