Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny was announced during the Nintendo Direct Mini today. Of course, this comes as great news for long-time Disgaea fans. However, it’s understandable if those who haven’t played any games from the franchise to be somewhat wary about jumping into it on the sixth title.
Fortunately, you now have the chance to try out the series, all thanks to Nintendo. Among the many reveals and announcements during the Direct Mini, they also declared that Disgaea 5: Complete, the previous entry, will be available for free as a part of Nintendo’s latest Game Trial.
In case you don’t know, Game Trials is a program that’s a part of Nintendo Switch Online. As the name suggests, it puts select games on free trial periods so that you can try them out. It’s worth noting that these are the complete versions of the games, so you can download and play as much of the title as you want for the duration of the trial.
Once it’s over, you can decide to pay and continue where you left off. It’s actually very convenient. Nintendo launched Game Trials last year with a free trial of Mario Tennis Aces, and very soon, it will be Disgaea 5.
That being said, the Game Trial for Disgaea 5: Complete will run from September 23 through September 29. Being a game considered to be one of the biggest time-killers on the Switch, six days might not be enough to fully immerse yourself into this tactical RPG.
However, this should still be enough time to make interested players decide whether or not they want to get the game for themselves.
Should you wish to delve into the entire Disgaea franchise, the complete versions of Disgaea 1 and Disgaea 4 are also available on the console. In other words, you definitely have a few options to choose from.
