Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance Season Pass Review (PS4)
Disgaea is among our favorite franchises. It was one of Nippon Ichi Software’s first series that made it to the west and has remained popular ever since. Its wacky, lighthearted and self-aware nature got a huge following. Disgaea 5 continues that tradition with its newest season pass which brings back old time characters.
DLC Scenarios
Each of the DLC scenarios come in the form of 3 unique missions, all generally set in different worlds. These scenarios can be activated at any time and scale up in difficulty depending how far you have progressed in the main campaign. With that said each of the DLC scenarios take from 30-50 minutes to complete start to finish, so they are more of a side activity then something you would invest hours in.
After you beat these three maps the characters you met along the way will officially join your group. Another bonus for completing each of these missions are special save icons with your new allies which you can activate from the settings menu.
Unfortunately, these small excursions only feature Killia from Disgaea 5 with all the other characters surprisingly missing. What’s more, this part of the game is not voiced so it feels more of an afterthought than like the ones we got in the past games.

As far as scenarios go the season pass for Disgaea 5 is nothing that you must run out and buy. Newcomers will probably have little incentive to get these, as they are primarily for long time fans. If you are a huge fan of the series and would love to play with your favorite characters you probably will get your money’s worth out of this 5 plus hour excursion, but for everyone else the main game provides enough content to not warrant these small side stories.
