I quit and deleted the game after the first 5 minutes or so. But yeah, if you want to play this game I'd reccomend just tracking down the DS version (the mobile version might be ok too).

Man, the second dungeon in Alwa's Awakening is tricky. I died almost 30 times in there and only a few of them were just me being an impatient dummy. Zoe can make bubbles now though so it was worth it This skeleton is so concerned about what's going on  ...and it's right to be 'cause I bopped it on the head!

The combat is 100% designed for a touch screen. I have some complaints about how the controls are handled in the Switch version and it's mostly things that are different from the DS version.

Not played TWEWY on mobile so can't compare to that version. I've only put one hour into TWEWY Switch so I can't give a full and fair comparison but I'd say the DS version simply controls better. Motion controls are extremely difficult, you simply can't use the slashing pins with any kind of speed or consistency. On touch control, using your non-dominant hand to hold it like a cradle and then your dominant hand as a stylus is passable, but it's not perfect and I'd be concerned for my posture after a while because it's not easy to do that and be fully comfortable on the neck and arms. I'd say wait for a sale if curious, maybe jump in if you really loved TWEWY. Skip entirely if you only ever want to play docked. If a sequel comes out, I imagine it'd be made with a pro controller in mind.

I really like my Pro Controller, never noticed much trouble with the D-Pad, but I'm a sucker for that GC controller. Just sheer nostalgia there. I wonder how well it'll work because the C-stick is tiny and the D-pad isn't quite as accessible, but I'm horribly horribly tempted.

SeANMcBAY posted:So the DS original version is still definitive? I’ve wanted to play this game for awhile. The Switch version adds some extra content (which I haven't seen yet, so no idea if that is worth it), but the combat is way better on DS. The touch screen combat feels clunky without the stylus, and losing the dual screen simultaneous combat with your partner makes it a lot less interesting. Still a good game and totally playable, but from what I've seen so far the DS version is still the definitive one.

I don't think Disgaea seems like a series where people are going to rush out and buy remakes, I guess maybe there are people who play it for the plot somehow? btw, that Capcom Beat 'Em Bundle is really cool.

It's a remake of the first game which is like 15 years old and pretty clunky compared to the newer ones so, I've no idea how much it's changed though.

MAN Disgaea 1 did not age well. Things move at a snails pace, animations take forever and QOL stuff like the cheat shop are not there. It's pretty much the DS version with better graphics. None of the improvements the series has had over the years are here.

Mulderman posted:Which is an overall far superior game. And highly recommended if you want your infinite grind on the go. That said each game has something unique, so going back and at least unlocking the post game and seeing how the earlier games were setup can be fun. Start with the newest Disgaea and work your way backwards. If there isn't a way to speed up animations emulating the PS2 copies and unlocking the FPS so you can play at 400% speed is likely going to be the best way to enjoy the game. Disgaea attack animations are really long. They are nice the first few times but I'm so glad newer games have an automatically skip animations I've seen option.
