2026 Same Issues

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.

Bien mais

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 😅😅😅😅

Keep crashing

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!!

No Offline Play

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

Dood… It’s a great game, but…

* 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…

Change this please!

Make it playable without an internet connection.

Désastre

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

Needs audio priority changed

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.

Crashes. Don’t buy.

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.

Controls

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.

Good, but hindered by issues

This is a fun game and encourages a sort of fun grind. However, it requires a network connection and often hangs on checking for updates… both of which make play on airplanes and such difficult.

No Internet equals unable to play

I paid over $30 for a single player game that only starts if I’m connected to internet.

If you lose internet connection the game literally becomes worthless

You CANNOT play without a constant internet connection.

More ports

Please make a disgaea 2 phone app and a disgaea 5 app please 🙏🏼 adel and rozalin are held so dear to heart and killua eating ramen is what I need (more like disgaea 1 app, it’s plays much better and offline)

버그 많음

20시간 하면서 프리징,튕김,잔상,클라우드 세이브 먹통등 버그가 여러가지로 나옵니다
디가1과 비교하면 그지같은 조작감, 최적화 폭망
두시간만에 환불할려다 그냥 스토리 볼려고 합니다

Constant data loss

Before I start, I must state that, I adore Disgaea 4, I’ve played it on PS3, PSVita, and Switch, I know it’s a fun game and a good grind. It’s aged beautifully over time and stands as one of the best games in the series.
So I was happy to hear that such an experience is on iOS.
However, I cannot Recommend this iteration of the game, simply because of issues with the cloud system and data storage. Every time you boot up the game, it checks for update data, this forces you to be WiFi connected in order to launch the game without crashing, this alone isn’t a complete deal breaker, but it is aggravating that Disgaea 1 complete never had this issue whilst 4 does.
The far worse issue is the cloud system and questionable data storage. I’ve seen the game reset my progress several times now without warning, resetting itself to absolute zero, and forcing me to pick a new nickname every time, with no way to get back the old ones. For a game with such a lengthy, deep grind, the possibility of it resetting itself and losing all of your data is an absolute dealbreaker. There is of course the cloud save, in which you can create a copy of a save file in the cloud to grab and download any time, which is fine and good, but this feels like a bandage on a gaping wound, we should not have to manually back up save files just to account for incompetence on the developers end, that function is clearly designed for transferring save data between devices, not as a single solution to a faulty storage problem.
This isn’t even addressing the other faults in this port like a janky (but manageable) control scheme, the constant crashing in the item world, or the aforementioned inability to boot the game outside of WiFi, those are all manageable, but to have a game that advertises itself as such a masterful rpg, with such an intense grind, commit the cardinal sin of randomly, frequently, deleting everything you’ve worked for? I cannot recommend an experience like that to anyone.
If you want a grind and a taste of Disgaea, consider playing Disgaea 1 Complete on iOS, or trying any of the series on any other system. For the sake of your own effort and time, skip this one.

Needs internet connection

Great game, but it has a bug that makes it need an internet connection to play. This makes it completely unplayable at the times when I’m most likely to play it: flights and train rides. This requirement is stupid and unnecessary (Disgaea 1 doesn’t have any such requirement) and it should be fixed.

rly good adaption

best game series stays on top. pls bring out disgaea 5 mobile

Optimization may be needed

I had the version on PSVita several years ago and their wasn’t many issues. Now that’s out the way I enjoyed D4 in its entirety one of my all time favorite games beside D5. On the Iphone complete 5/5 stars very playable with little errors or issues. On the IPad though a solid 3 and 3/4 out of 5 their are so many issues from slow down to how the controller layout works. But it still is a solid game to play. If anything 1 update that will fix all that is only needed. I’ll revisit this once a update is made. BTW put D2 and DD2 on Apple I guarantee it’ll be successful.

Good App With One Problem

I have been enjoying using this app and playing Disgaea 4 on my phone / tablet, but wish that the downloading update list check was removed from the beginning of the game. It makes sense that the app would need to update once to play the game, but it doesn’t make sense that the app should need an active internet connection in order to be launched each time. The game plays fine once you have gone past this check, but as there are no online elements in the app itself, it would be good if this could be removed so that the game could still be played without an active internet connection.
