Disgaea is Diablo for SRPGs, your constantly getting different gear, going through randomly generate and non-generate maps, and just getting stronger everytime you play.

Really fun story. I love the huge giant moves you can do with your characters. The story took me about 20 hours to beat, but I still have so much to play. Really good game. Kind of a Diablo SRPG game.

Runs amazing on the Steam Deck, and is a perfect steam deck game if you own one. I been playing the game on the Steam Deck without ANY issues. It just runs. I did notice some frame time dips, but its just here and there, nothing to really complain about. All my buttons and triggers work, everything just works. I think Disgaea, the way it is made, makes it the series the best to play on Steam Deck.

Everyone complaining about the DLC are being forgetful. Every modern Disgaea game had DLC (that you had to pay extra for). The only difference this time is that they went up in price like every other game. I don't like paying $100 for the whole game so I didn't.

I love the new jumbification system, its neat to see your character get super big and powerful and just one taps everything on the level.

The item reincarnation system is very nice. I like how the tree is displayed within the item, so it gives you a sense of what the item was in the beginning to the end of the tree. It is RNG, so sometimes you might not get a better "rank" item, but your stats will always go up regardless, so I think the system is still isn't bad.

The Online A.I. Battles is a cool neat little feature, but that is basically it. You just take your characters and fight other people's character but its all just auto fights. It doesn't add much to the game, but its nice to have it I guess. You do get rewards of course, but its the least used feature by me at the moment. (other games did have this feature in some way or another)

Netherworld Sightseeing is a new feature where you can visit the map you just played on. By using this feature you can get more quests, and do more more fights for XP. It's basically more ways to get XP, nothing here to make the player mad, only happy.

They changed the way how the Demonic Intelligence system works. This is basically the system where the A.I. will play for you (aka auto battles/mobile games). You can adjust how the character will play and everything, there is really a lot of settings. I didn't dip too much into the settings, because at default it seems to work just fine. But you do need Poltergas for auto battles. This can be obtain by doing story levels constantly, very easy to obtain honestly. In the beginning of using this feature you'll have to fast foward through the animations, but eventually the dark assembly will allow you to actually just skip through a whole battle like how some mobile games do it for you. A prompt would come up at the end of one auto battle completed, then it will allow you to skip the battle as many times as you would like. I have no issues with auto battling in this game. I think its pretty balance for the most part. You can't use it in the item world, which I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing, because you will spend A LOT of time in there.

Max character level in this Disgaea game is 9,999.

There have been several different releases of Disgaea and this one does still do team attacks, and lifting of characters on your head. But you cannot do any tower attacks that you can find in Disgaea 5. I don't think it hurts Disgaea 7 not including this feature, it just takes some of the level of complexly out of it, and I guess just makes less ways to play.

Hell mode this is another character feature that they pretty much had in other games but just called something else. Not much to say about it other than it does make your character stronger and makes you feel awesome kicking enemies's butts.
