Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten (PlayStation 3) review"While the story is new and its high-quality presentation is a delight that long-time fans by now take for granted, you’ll likely be surprised by some of the other improvements. For instance, it’s now possible to assemble your own pirate ship so that you can raid the Item World. On trips to your own Item World, you’ll find parts that you can use to customize your ship, plus you’ll battle more pirates than ever before. You can even have your custom pirate crew head online and raid other folks’ worlds, or help them out if you prefer." |
Disgaea 4: A Promise Forgotten is the latest game from Nippon Ichi Software, a development team that routinely turns out games so unique and refreshingly niche that you’d expect it to have gone out of business years ago. Here we are, though, a mere week ahead of the release of a fourth game in a series that conventional wisdom says should be a commercial flop in a world obsessed with digital headshots and online farming empires. It’s clear that at least a few consumers still appreciate deep and addictive SRPGs.
