### 4/5 — 2026 Same Issues

*2026-05-26*

The overall game still has the same issues that were reported from the other users. I didn’t encounter the bug that wipes your entire memory though. From a game perspective, I also don’t think this is the best story either - that would still be Disgaea 1. In terms of automation (autoplay) this game isn’t as good Disgaea 6. Wasn’t bad though.

### 4/5 — Bien mais

*2025-10-23*

L’histoire de disgaea 4 est à mon sens mieux que le 1 présent sur le store 
Le joystick pour ce balader dans le hub est mieux 
Mais je retire 1 étoiles parce que faut être absolument connecter en permanence à internet.
Et pour un jeux prenium j’estime pouvoir le jouer ou je veux sans connections. Juste pour ce détail je le mes légèrement en dessous du 1 
En espérant le 5 arrivé sur mobile bientôt avec tout les qualité du 1 et du 4 😅😅😅😅

### 2/5 — Keep crashing

*2025-08-12*

First of all i really love disgaea games! But this one keeps crashing especially when you’re in the item world. Imagine you’re getting rare items and the game suddenly crashes! I rarely write reviews but this is so frustrating. Especially paying about $35 for this!!

### 1/5 — No Offline Play

*2025-05-16*

Complete waste of money.  Unable to load game in Airplane mode or Offline.  Definitely want my money back.

### 4/5 — Dood… It’s a great game, but…

*2025-05-07*

* Disgaea 1 Complete has better controls, dood. You could just double-tap a square to move to it or double-tap an enemy to select it for attack. Now you have to hit OK each time. This gets annoying, dood.
* The touch controls have strange hitboxes in isometric mode and sometimes refuse to select a character. It’s okay, since I prefer top-down mode anyway, but other people might be bothered, dood.
* The Internet connection on start-up is one thing… but making me download 3GB after Chapter 1, dood?! That’s brutal, dood… Don’t tell me I’ll have to do this after every chapter. Give us some option to pre-download data at the start, dood.

UPSIDES:
* The graphics are noticeably better than Disgaea 1. That pixel density, dood.
* The top-down view option works really well.
* Coming from D1, the new mechanics are cool.
* The JP voice actors are pretty good. 

Finally… please port the other games, dood! I never bought the sequels! I know there’s some issue with the PS3 games, but… surely it’s at least possible to port Disgaea 2? It’d be nice to have a fuller collection, dood…

### 1/5 — Change this please!

*2025-02-10*

Make it playable without an internet connection.

### 2/5 — Désastre

*2024-12-24*

Le jeu est super juste la sauvegarde de partie qui ne marche pas

### 3/5 — Needs audio priority changed

*2024-12-02*

I highly doubt this will ever get fixed as this game was released and then ignored, but you cannot listen to your own music while playing. It’s rather annoying as this is a game meant to be ground out.

### 1/5 — Crashes. Don’t buy.

*2024-10-31*

Why port a game that is designed around grinding in areas that it isn’t possible to save just to have it crash every few minutes. Then when it crashes you have to stare at “Downloading update list” for 5 minutes before it boots back up. All while being over 30 dollars. EVEN IF YOU ARE A FAN OF THE FRANCHISE, DO NOT BUY THIS ONE. If you need mobile Disgaea, the port of the first one actually works. This does not.

### 4/5 — Controls

*2024-08-27*

Pretty solid port. Think it would greatly enhance accessibility to include an option for a d-pad and buttons with adjustable transparency rather than only a touch screen control.
