The next chapter in the Disgaea saga. In Disgaea 7, the story is set in a world called "Hinomoto Netherworld Cluster," which is inspired by Japanese culture.
About the story
Set in a series of small Netherworlds collectively known as Hinomoto, a world that mimics the stylings of Ancient Japan during its transition between the Edo period (1603-1868) and the Meiji restoration (1868-1912). The plot and stylings are heavily inspired by the clashing cultures of the two period of japanese history and both parody and reflect the changing attitudes and behaviours of the times. The plot starts with end of the age of warriors following the military take-over of the Shogunate by a demon known as Demmodore Opener, following his victory over the strongest warrior of the time, Mugai Zesshosai and his followers. The story follows the intertwining stories of both Fuji, a former apprentice of Mugai and now wandering warrior, whose story is made to mirror the view of a Samurai of the time with the collapse of their culture and relevance in it; and Pirilika, an Otaku for Hinomoto culture who arrives in just in time to watch the culture she had come to idolise from the movies she had seen of it be replaced with the more metropolitan styling of the Meiji era, parodying the westernisation of Japan during that time period and the general japan otakus found in the west in current times.

Reno Gazette-Journal
By Jason HidalgoDisgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless is a much welcome addition to the long-running franchise, polishing up some of the new but at times shaky concepts from its predecessor while also paying homage to some of the classic stuff that made the series great. The 3D models, while still a work in progress, have gotten better and the soundtrack is among the best in the series. If you love tactical RPGs and the anime-inspired art style, Disgaea 7 is a great addition to your gaming library.

By محمد زمانیDisgaea 7 takes the series back to its golden days and offers tons of tactical combat and a comic story, making it a perfect fit for the fans of JRPG. It's not by any means a revolutionary experience and doesn't help the genre to move forward.

By Simone CantiniWith Disgaea 7: Vow of the Virtueless, Nippon Ichi returns to the series' tactical RPG roots, addressing the issues of Defiance of Destiny and delivering a less forgiving title. It offers a multifaceted and challenging experience, delighting fans with countless hours of fun. Though not perfect, it stands out in the series.

By Jordan LoadesDisgaea 7 has been a fantastic ride. It's a meaty game to say the least and should you wish to pour hundreds of hours into this game, you easily could. I for one am excited to see what I've missed from previous entries and will be there day one for the hopeful Disgaea 8.
