[Review] Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless
Posted on 1 year ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: October 3, 2023
Developer: Nippon Ichi Software
Publisher: NIS America
Disgaea games have always been a bit overwhelming. Their nonsensical plots, zany casts, and seemingly impenetrable walls of systems upon systems that have stats going into the millions and damage into the quadrillions can make them seem unapproachable to newcomers at the best of times. Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless, the latest in the long-running series, shares the same foibles as its predecessors to varying degrees, but is by far the most accessible game in the series to date, and is an easy recommendation to make for anyone looking to sink their teeth into an experience that never takes itself too seriously but offers strategic depth easily on par with the best the genre has to offer.

The game saw the UK’s second-biggest physical launch of the year – but Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is still at the top. Also worth noting, Switch was the only platform where sales were up compared to FIFA 23, but that’s likely because EA actually put in an admirable effort on the platform this time around.
Here’s the full UK software sales chart for the week ending September 30, 2023:
