Disgaea 5 is one of our most anticipated PlayStation 4 games. The latest entry in Nippon Ichi’s nuts-insane SRPG series promises to take the raw depth, complexity and humour that the series is so well known for to the next level entirely. The game is due for release in just…
Read MoreSome news from late last week you might have missed: Nippon Ichi America has announced a formal release date for Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance. It lands in America on October 6 and Europe/ Australia three days later. It’s a PlayStation 4 exclusive, and should more than scratch the itch…
Read MoreThe dungeon crawler has been going through something of a renaissance recently.
