If you like some complex tactical RPGs, you’ll probably like the Disgaea series. Though, only the first two were a bit complex and the rest were pretty decent. If you are an RPG veteran and like showcasing yourself to newbies, there’s a place for you guys here in the series.

The series has been criticized for its aggressiveness towards newcomers. So, the later parts of the game have been trying to become more newbie-friendly. As a result, they included auto-battle mode. Although, players still complain that the game is so densely packed with surprises that it’s not even close to being friendly, let alone newbie-friendly.

The whole series is a fast game, but the depth of narratives is shallow. There are a few interesting but unsuccessful design choices of the whole series. It makes up for the battle mechanisms, character design, and amazing soundtrack for the whole series. Even if the story is a bit bland, overall the series is enjoyable.

The latest part of the series, Star Ocean: The Divine Force, is going to be better optimized with 3D visuals, and the utilization of teleporting systems will be introduced. It will help newcomers explore easily.

For the money spent, there is a good amount of content in the trilogy. The visuals look fantastic and the character pool of the game is good too. The only things the game lacks are fast loading times, difficulty, and controls of some characters. Other than that, if you are a fan of the anime or manga, you’ll definitely enjoy the game.

The only thing to complain about the game is its story. The story is a bit bland for such a vast and complex game. The graphics could be better too. The developers should upscale the game too. Maybe a reboot of the game would make it visually better.

The exploration system and level capping are amazing. The difficulties also scale with players and the surrounding world. You can find some vibes of Skyrim from the game too though the worlds of the games are very different.

MORE DETAILS:

If there was an award for being the best game for any console ever and not to be mentioned globally about it, then the prize would go to Dragon Ball FighterZ. The reason for it being so good regardless of its genre is that the visuals are top-notch with high-resolution support, amazing music choice and finally a childhood story that you love and that kicks your nostalgia in.

Usually, fast-paced games get boring sometimes, and that’s a strong point for Dragon Balls FighterZ as it hardly feels boring. Also, the dramatic endings of some fights are really attractive. There is nothing to nag about the game so far. Hope the sequel will blast us with more surprises.
