Why It Rocks

 * 1) A great story that knows when to take itself seriously and when to be as goofy as possible.
 * 2) An incredible soundtrack.
 * 3) The most amount of sprites about 100 of them in the game thanks to the ps4s hardware.
 * 4) Its quite accessible to newcomers of the series.
 * 5) Epic special skill animations that would make Gurren Lagann blush.
 * 6) Makes it easy to grind by presenting maps that give more EXP, a way to increase the amount of EXP that is given and several items that also increase EXP.
 * 7) Tons of gameplay mechanics that can keep you invested for hundreds of hours.
 * 8) * This includes the Item World, the Chara World, the Cheat Shop, the Curry Shop, Sub Classes, Magichange, the Research Squad, Squads, Innocents, Evilities, Weapon Mastery, Dark Assembly, Alchemy.
 * 9) The level cap for characters is level 9999 as in all games.
 * 10) You can level up everything from your characters, their skills, their weapon mastery, shops, individual items and even the hospital.
 * 11) Tons of variables that change up the gameplay in every map you play.
 * 12) Great voice acting in both the sub and dub and you can switch anytime you like.
 * 13) Many new features.
 * 14) The Curry Shop. A new facility on the base where you can create different types of curries, which will give the squad temporary effects that last about one battle. Most of these recipes will give boosts in stats, but not all are good! Some can have a negative effect and are even poisonous! Nether Research Squad  When your squad isn’t out fighting the good fight, you can deploy some of your recruits to explore the other Netherworlds through the Nether Research Squad. While they’re off researching the Netherworlds, they’ll be unlocking new worlds to visit, finding rare items in other worlds to bring back, and gaining experience for your squad members as they’re off exploring.  Netherworld Edtior  These new Netherworlds will sometimes have special world effects, such as Icic-Hell’s snowy world that lowers all characters’ fire resistance. But don’t fret — you can override these Netherworld effects with the Netherworld Editor! This new feature allows you to create new Netherworlds for other people to encounter and play, and if one of the worlds is summoned while you’re in a map, the summoned Netherworld effects will override the effects of the current world. That’s Prinny cool, right?  Alchemy  “But what about the items?” you ask. With the new Alchemist feature, you can have items created for you while you’re off to battle! Create a brand new item and add Innocents to power up each copy. Don’t have enough innocents for your plentiful supply of items? The Innocent Shop can help with that; this shop acts like a warehouse to hold all your precious Innocents while breeding new ones at the Innocent Farm out back. Sometimes if you leave two Innocents alone together at the Innocent Farm, a third will appear with more rare and powerful effects!  Downloadable Content Plans  NIS America will be releasing 5 batches of DLC which allow you to encounter the characters from Disgaea 3, Disgaea 4, and Disgaea D2 in various Netherworlds, as well as other games like La Pucelle! There will also be a season pass available and if you get all the DLC, you’ll unlock Pleinair as a playable character for free!
 * 15) 44 different classes (47 with DLC) and that's not including the six main characters, four post-game characters and 24 DLC characters.
 * 16) A great sense of humor in everything from the in-game cutscenes to the randomly generated names (Inverted Pencil is a name the game can give one of your units).

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Dated graphics with a lot of stock animations for characters.
 * 2) Seraphina can be irritating at times. Though understandable since she's a succubus
 * 3) Post-game bosses require a lot of grinding, like a ton of grinding.
 * 4) The PC version had some missing features such as the map edit.
 * 5) None of the characters from the previous games appear in the post-game and instead are paid DLC.
 * 6) * In Disgaea 5: Complete, all the DLC is free.
