I tried the Disgaea 6 demo. I hear it runs like total shit on Switch, like 20fps -_-;; and 30-60fps on PS4/PS5. Only tried it on PS5.
Skipped all the story stuff, so was just checking out the move to 3d. Total meh. Looks like ass like PS2 3d srpgs. Also on super quality mode it still runs like 20fps on PS5
That takes skill to pull that off on a game that looks like this. Guess they're supersampling or something. It does look clean.
At the end of the day, if you play this you'll probably just turn all the animations off and move speed on maximum and it'll pretty much look/play the same as 2d Disgea mostly. Seems like a lot of extra work for the team to jump to 3d and nothing really gained at all. I guess this is future proofing, but considering their sprites in D4/D5 were pretty good and future-proof they could've just kept re-using those.
Anyhow, guessing it'll bomb and N1 will be done with srpgs for good at this point. It's been what, 5 years since Disgaea 5? And they used to make a yearly srpg. At least their other stuff is pretty well received lately. Someone on Era said the second entry in their Etrian Odyssey style dungeon crawler that just came out is really good. I picked up the first one on a Switch sale and will try it one of these days.
