A recent interview with the head of Nippon Ichi Software has revealed that Disgaea 5 Complete, the latest installment in the Disgaea franchise, has sold over 200,000 copies worldwide since its release. Debuting back in March of 2015, this early Switch title (it’s also on PlayStation 4) told the story of a new generation facing against a terrible new Dark Overlord.
