The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who enjoy tactical, turn-based battles, absurd humor, and deep character progression: Build a party of colorful demons and heroes, then use the battlefield’s positioning, class skills, and outrageous level growth to turn tactical fights into comic power trips. Tradeoff: The grid battles and extensive grinding can make progress feel slow, especially if you want a tightly paced story campaign.

What you are walking into
A version of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, including the added content in Afternoon of Darkness and Disgaea PC, was released for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on October 9, 2018, retitled as Disgaea 1 Complete. Some elements of the game were updated, including adding new higher resolution sprites in the same style as Disgaea 5, changing character art images with the Disgaea 5 artstyle, as well as retroactively replacing some generic humanoid and monster classes that did not appear since Disgaea: Hour of Darkness with classes that do appear in later games in the series.
