It has a Disgaea 4 Android port dropped on it Google Play and the demonic strategy RPG is now available. Although with a price tag of £31.99 / $32.99 it’s a decent investment. While the release came as a surprise, not everyone was thrilled with the premium price.
Good games done expensive
The tactical RPG Disgaea 4: A Promise Revisited, originally launched in 2011 for the Playstation 3. It has an impressive pedigree. At the time of writing, there are now six in the series and all are quite playable.
It follows the adventures of Valvatorez, a vampire who takes on the Netherworld government to save Prinnies from extermination. Prinnies are human souls put into demonic penguin bodies. They are there to atone for their sins. It’s a long story.
The game builds on the turn-based combat of previous installments in the series. It lets your characters throw each other across the battlefield, stack themselves into towers, and fuse into gigantic monsters.
There’s no denying that Disgaea 4 is a really good game, even though it’s ultimately over a decade old. Some gamers have mixed feelings about the price for something that is practically a retro title.
Disgaea 1 Complete is another Android port of the series, sitting around a similar price point. While that may sound similar, that’s a 2018 remaster, so seven years younger than Disgaea 4.
