Surprisingly enough, a whole lot of games are blurry on my 12.9” - very likely a low res problem and not wanting to have proper assets (probably expense)
Roughly half of the games I’ve downloaded from Apple Arcade are blurry enough that I can’t play for longer periods without headaches. Another one that I was looking forward to that looks like garbage is Armello. So blurry it was unplayable to me.
I’ve compare to my wife’s 11” and th difference is pretty interesting.
Armello isn’t all that sharp even on newer phones. Blame Armello.
The Advertisment budget was lower than usual for Disgaea titles, which is already low for niche titles.
I really really hope it gets ported to PS4 or even Steam…having it on the go is too much of a dream. But we have now a problem. It was a late-gen PS3 title and we are now entering the late-gen of PS4…and given Nippon Ichis financial troubles and NISA being overwhelmed at localizing/publishing jRPG stuff in the west…chances are slim.
Kukukuku…the plan STILL works… NISA when you read this its time to send the usual check my way 
I remember seeing advertising for the original Disgaea and preordering it, but I can’t for the life of me figure out where I would have seen that. Not the internet in those days, I think. I bought just about every NIS SRPG I could find after that.
Was sitting on the couch when I remembered once again that QVADRIGA exists. Man, wouldn’t it be great to play that on my newish kinda big phone? Wasn’t it released for Android! It was! Oh. Looks like it’s been removed from the Play store.
Mobile gaming sucks.
The potential is/was through the roof, though. Rarely do I blame the developers, on a macro sense. OSs/hardware that make old software obsolete coupled with us awful consumers who continually make the wrong choices on how to spend our money are the issue.
Haven’t hardware improvements been making PC games obsolete for years?
Have they? Maybe, I don’t play PC games much, so I suppose it is possible. I do know, though, that on GOG I can buy plenty of old games that still work.
No, not really. There are probably some games from the old days you can’t play anymore, but I’m not sure which ones. Aside from places like GOG, there are plenty of people on the internet helping keep old games alive even when Windows tries to make it impossible to run them, which actually isn’t all that often, since MS has always had a commitment to backwards compatibility.
Just look at this site for one, where you can download games complete with OS emulators where necessary and just fire up all kinds of old shit, some of which probably isn’t even worth the trouble!
Alternative would be civ 6 expansion!
Depends, did you finish Disgaea 1 on another system? Then probably Civ 6 Expansion. Have you never played Disgaea 1? Well then OBVIOUSLY Disgaea 1
Maybe wait for a sale…but nowadays keeping track of iOS Sales is a real pain…
Which might be good since I pretty much stopped purchasing alltogether, my last purchases were Civ 6+First Expansion and DLCs as well Star Traders Frontiers.
My next purchases would be Chapter unlock DLCs for the Ace Attorney games…which are just way too good to pass on buying them…yet again (have them all on DS and 3DS)
I’ve always had mixed feelings about Disgaea, and I’ve said elsewhere. Fundamentally, it is fantastic. It is one of the best SRPG series out there and the first is as good as any. The stories are a little silly, however, and the game has too many systems for my liking, especially when compared to my benchmark for greatness, Final Fantasy Tactics. You can, for example, level up all your weapons; you do this by actually going in to the weapons and fighting battles ad nauseum. Actually, ad nauseum is a good word for the is game because everything can be done to death. Level 99 level cap? Hah! Try 999, or something. Forget doing hundreds of damage; try thousands and hundreds of thousands. You level every ability, every spell…pretty much everything. You can change jobs, reset your level to 1 to boost stats even further; all of this is governed by a legislative process that you can influence through bribery or combat.
The game is good and has an incredible amount of content. It just goes a little too off the rails for me, personally, though even then I’ll play the series when I need a SRPG fix.
Get access to the iOS beta version of Book of Demons here! It’s pretty damn slick on my 3rd generation iPad Pro!
The good thing is…all the crazy leveling to 9999 (!) and upgrading weapons is pretty much optional (most of the times) for post game content. So if you are just in for the story, then the grind (if any) is manegable, but since I usually never 100% complete games with silly post-end content requiring the GRIND OF DOOM™ I may not be a good reference point…
PictoQuest just released on iOS. It is a picross-style puzzle game with RPG elements. It is also premium ($4). I don’t know if it is any good, but it sounds neat.
Apparently it’s a port of a Switch game that released last summer. Here’s one review of the Switch version:

Yeah, I’ve looked at a couple reviews and the only negatives I’ve seen are that it might be a little easy for picross veterans and it isn’t an incredibly long game. I think I’m going to grab this my next round of purchases.
Certainly! You can both offer and even send them! I’m not saying it’ll do you any good, but I like a good bribe like any other guy
