Disgaea Mayhem successfully transforms the familiar Disgaea formula into a fast-paced action RPG while keeping the humour, charm and exaggerated style that fans expect. The combat is enjoyable, with different weapon types offering unique play styles, and the ability to upgrade equipment and push character power to ridiculous levels delivers the satisfying progression the series is known for.
The problem is that the experience feels too short and lacking in depth. With a main story that can be completed in under 10 hours, limited post-game content, repetitive missions and only one playable character, it struggles to justify its £49.99 price tag. Disgaea Mayhem is a fun spin-off that works well for newcomers, but it is best picked up during a sale rather than at full price.
