Summary
Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtuelessis quite obviously the seventh main game in the series, which began on the PS2 in 2003. Like theFinal Fantasyfranchise, every entry in theDisgaeaseries is self-contained, although heroes and villains have appeared as guest characters. Laharl, from the first game, is a big example who has appeared several times.
A lot has technically changed, but much has remained the same inDisgaea 7: Vows of the Virtuelesstoo. For example, players can go to a place called the Dark Assembly, which is a court system that can grant temporary buffs or permanent upgrades. Once this feature is unlocked, these are the proposals players should make in this latest strategy RPG.
8Let’s Have Fun With Cheat Codes!
Let’s Have Fun With Cheat Codes! is something that should be unlocked as soon as the skill shop opens. It will create a cheat menu wherein players can adjust varying levels of the game’s mechanics. There are no difficulty levels inDisgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless, so this shop is sort of likean assist featurein other games. For example, how much EXP players gain can be decreased or increased. Players can also adjust odd things like making everyone explodable to create some true chaos on maps.
7Pull Evil-Gacha!
One of the returning mechanics in this game is the hospital, and players have to pay money to heal their party. The nice thing about the hospital in the past was that the more players spent, the more rewards would unlock.
InDisgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless, this reward system has to be unlocked via the Dark Assembly with a skill called Pull Evil-Gacha! Players can spend points to spin a randomized to get gear or other items. The nice thing aboutthis gacha-based systemis that these points bank up even before this feature is unlocked.
6Better Items At The Store!
There is a general store in the game wherein players can buy healing items and gear. The stock is limited once this feature opens, but new stock will be added when players finish story chapters. Better Items At The Store! is a skill that will rush this restocking along so that players can buy stronger equipment early.
It’s a great way to beef up characters and make things a bit easier without having to grind through levels. The downside to this is that the better gear will cost more money, or HL as it is called in theDisgaeauniverse. This means that the grind will still be present when players attempt to earn enough HL.
5Throw A Welcome Party!
Not all of the skills in the Dark Assembly are permanent upgrades for the team. Throw A Welcome Party! is an example of a proposal that is good for one use only. This will grant all party members that participate in the next map triple the amount of EXP. The only catch is that these characters have to be under level ten. Players can create a near-infinite amount of party members, so this is a great thing to use early on to beef up levels. There is nothing worse than creating a level one character only to see them die in a single hit constantly. It’s part of the problem witha lot of tactical RPGs.
4Speed Things Up!
Before hitting start inDisgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless, players should peruse the options onthe title screen. They should then adjust how fast characters move on the map along with the speed of attack animations. These are all free features, but Speed Things Up! is part of the Dark Assembly. Winning this proposal will give players further options to increase battle and cutscene speeds by four. The faster the game goes, the faster players can grind through levels which is always a plus in an RPG.
3I Wanna Hit Back!
All characters can counter an enemy’s actions if they are physically hit. The chances are high for counterattacking once, but I Wanna Hit Back! is an upgrade that will increase these chances by one.
One of the best strategies players can utilize in the game is to send the strongest character in the party forward. Fuji is a great example as he is one of the two leads and also a standard RPG tank. Let him take damage from enemies and then he will counterattack as much as possible, perhaps eliminating everyone on his part.
2I Want To Jump Higher!
Some maps in the game are fairly simple to navigate. Like inmost strategy RPGs, players have to move their squad on a grid-based tile system. Some maps get more complex with drastic elevation changes that can be breached by throwing teammates around like baseballs. I Want To Jump Higher! is a Dark Assembly skill that will increase the character’s jump ability by five. This will greatly eliminate the need to always have to be tossed around.
1Reincarnate
Reincarnate may not be the first skill players should unlock in the game, but it is something they should keep in mind. One of the things that sets this series apart is that characters can get to wildly high levels. Players can also propose to use Reincarnate, which will restart characters back to level one. This may seem silly, but characters will retain some abilities and stats, so it is like anew game plus mode in RPGsbut for individual characters. This is for the type of player who wants to create the ultimate death squad of demons inDisgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless.
Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtuelesswas released on May 19, 2025, and is available on PC, PS4, PS5, and Switch.
