Disgaea 4 Complete+

amazon Disgaea 4 Complete+ reviews

If we compare the long-standing Japanese games like dishes, it can be said that the Disgaea game series is a specialty of the mountainous region.

At first glance, each game in the line looks like a mess, not good with layers of ingredients piled up.

However, when we taste it, we can see that these ingredients are harmoniously combined, they enhance and complement each other to create an unforgettable taste.

Disgaea 4 Complete + is no exception!

First released in 2011 on PS3 under the name Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten, muffled… 9 years later, the game has just landed on PC, in its fullest form.

The story of Disgaea 4 Complete + revolves around the vampire lord Valvatorez when he was exiled in Hell and on a mission … preached to a bunch of Prinny penguins, taught them to eat sardines and always made sentences with words “Dood”.

To “fulfill a promise”, Valvatorez vowed not to drink human blood, thereby giving up all his “supreme” powers and being exiled in Hell …

The beginning seems very normal and promises a thrilling thriller about Valvatorez’s path to regaining his power until the narrator’s voice starts talking about… sardines !!

For readers who don’t know what sardines are, sardines are a nutrient-dense fish, especially B vitamins and nervous system omega-3 fats, with white, lumpy flesh, usually available Many eggs, and can dispel evil spirits thanks to the “unique” scent …

Roughly so, instead of introducing the story, world, or gameplay, the first part of the game will “stuff” you with a lot of information about this fish.

Valvatorez, during his last lecture, promised the Prinny penguins to feed them sardines …

However, shortly after, Corrupternment, the government agency of Hell decided to organize a population restructuring, as Hell seemed to be getting too crowded, and unintentionally harmed dear Valvatorez penguins.

So the lord Fenrich’s valet devised a plan to “coup” Hell to “rectify the evil” Valvatorez and put him as President of Hell, and of course, Valvatorez strongly agreed to avenge his students, and because of that promise, feed the Prinny sardines.

As the story goes on, the story becomes more and more crazy and amusing.

If you’re expecting a game with a deeply moving story, or a game with a dark story, or even just looking forward to a serious story, Disgaea 4 Complete + certainly will not be a good choice.

But if you are bored of thinking too much and just want to laugh, then this game is a “new wind” to help you relax after hours of stressful work/play.

By the way, you don’t have to play previous versions of Disgaea to understand the Disgaea 4 Complete + storyline, since each one has a new storyline.

The plot of Disgaea 4 Complete + seems to be just for comedy, but the gameplay is a different category: complex, diverse and deep.

The gameplay of this game is a turn-based strategy, divided into player’s and opponents’ turns (such as the Fire Emblem series).

However, unlike Fire Emblem, when a character receives a command to act (such as an attack), the command will not be executed immediately after receiving the command, but all characters will do it command at the same time when the player selects “Execute”.

For ease of visualization, this mechanic depletes the mechanics of the Yu-Gi-Oh card game, when the turn is divided into Main Phase 1 when the player puts the character in poses suitably, then to Battle Phase, where characters perform their actions, then Main Phase 2, where characters have extra action abilities such as movement or “Lift” can perform additional action.

Referring to “lifting”, this is a quite unique mechanism of the entire Disgaea series, where one character can lift another character, and “throw” that character away.

Not only once, but the characters can also lift a stack of other characters, forming a… character tower!

Players need to cleverly use this “character tower” to be able to put the character in a convenient position or push a character to an impossible height.

The player can lift … almost anything with a height of one unit, from the character of his side, the character of the enemy, to … the bricks in the game screen, or … the treasure chest.

From there, just a simple mechanism, countless interesting new abilities are opened up for players, making turn-based combat without getting boring.

The screens in Disgaea 4 Complete + sometimes bring with them … puzzles, with the appearance of Geo Block blocks and Geo Panel tiles.

The player can “lift” and “throw” the Geo Block blocks like raising and throwing characters and can attack and destroy these Geo Block blocks.

Different color Geo Panel cells will create different effects (like attack increase everyone standing on that tile, or reduce the defense, or even … swap the position of two bars HP and SP), and When detonating a Geo Block block on a different Geo Panel cell, the whole seamlessly connected Geo Panel will change color (which means change the effect) and explode all other Geo Block blocks present on the Geo Panel range there.

Thus, not only is the calculation of the appropriate move, but the player needs to “brainstorm” to calculate, take advantage of the Geo Panel system, bring advantages for his side and disadvantage for the enemy, add one more Depth floors for players.

In intense battles, players will return to their base where they can choose to buy items, upgrade weapons, use the Evilities system to enhance characters’ blessings, or create new characters, etc

Although the tension mechanism is so, fighting in Disgaea 4 Complete + still doesn’t forget his “circus” mission, when the skills, though extremely … inferior and even dealing 0 damage, are also outlined. art like … the ultimate move, when the protagonist “gathers” and shoots into the air and plunges into the heavens, or a counterattack can lead to a counter-attack, then lead to counter-counterattack, and so on.

Another important mechanism is the Senate in Hell!

Here, you can propose laws to increase abilities, like increase the amount of income when winning, or unlock some rare items, and senate members will vote for or against, and you can… bribe, or even… kill, to pull the ballot on your side.

Those are just some of the main mechanics in Disgaea 4 Complete +.

There are also countless other mechanisms, such as combining monsters into super monsters, or the Magichange weapon-turning system waiting for you to explore and research, thereby creating new tactics and variety for your screenplay.

With the battle mechanics of various colors and patterns mentioned above, players can devise all kinds of different strategies to be able to pass the scene

Not only diverse in tactics, Disgaea 4 Complete + also offers a mechanism … random levels with Item World system.

Every item you buy, big or small, is hidden inside a random world, and you can… get in there, fight through a different scene.

When you reach the last scene, you will upgrade the item and at the same time level up your character, a double job.

The rarer the item, the greater the difficulty, and with the randomly generated level, players won’t get bored using completely different strategies.

Compared to the original version, Disgaea 4 Complete + complete version adds many improvements to make the game more accessible to new people, and new to the old.

For example, the resolution has been upgraded to 1920 × 1080, increased battle speed, added event playback mode, and more.

The most important is probably the addition of Cheat Shop, which helps you “cheat” by … changing the parameters of the game, such as increasing the experience gain, changing the level of the enemy, etc.

Graphics are also improved markedly, sharper, and more vivid, ensuring a smooth experience for gamers.

If you plan to play Disgaea 4 Complete +, be sure to be prepared to spend the time “training” the level and character, depending on what you want to do!

If you just want to watch comedy and storyline, then you can just “training” for a few hours to reach the level.

But if you want to explore all the mechanics of the game, defeat the super monsters after the game, or simply reach the maximum level, then you will have to transform into a genuine “farmer”.

Without saying that, if you do not “training” it is almost impossible to get past the low-level Item World system, let alone a high-level Item World, and diving into the Item World system can be costly hundreds, even thousands, of training hours.

There are no times when the maximum health is 9999, the level is 99, but in this game, the maximum level is … 9999, and the maximum health is … 399,999,996 (you don’t look wrong, 4 hundred million HP), enough to envision the game’s near-endless training possibilities!

Of course, if you are someone who likes to immerse yourself in the game world, then perhaps Disgaea 4 Complete + is a great choice, but if you are the one who likes “speed to win” then surely you are not happy. when I “cut” 30 levels in the next battle.

It seems that Nippon Ichi wants players to discover the functions themselves rather than introduce themselves because it is clear that the tutorial only briefly talks about the most basic functions, the rest invites players to … curious.

If you have played a different version of Disgaea, you will very quickly grasp the new functions, but if you are a “newbie” in this game, you will have a hard time to explore and research!
