As any player of turn-based strategy knows, blindly charging forward is rarely a smart move. Sometimes if you want to make progress, you first have to take a step back. In the case of Disgaea, though – a 20-year staple on PlayStation consoles – it’s developer Nippon Ichi that’s had to make a tactical retreat. The last mainline release in its once-pioneering series, Disgaea 6: Defiance Of Destiny, fell rather flat even with long-term fans, leading some to question whether the whole endeavour was running out of steam. As Disgaea 7 sails towards our shores, then, the Japanese studio has ground to make up, and hopes to do it by going back to basics.
