Disgaea fans: How does 4 compare to 1 and 2, doods? (lemmy.world)

I used to play the hell out of 1 and 2 back in the PS2 days, but I haven't touched the series beyond that, and haven't even played 1/2 much in the last 10 years.

How would you rate 4 in comparison? I noticed it was on sale in the Switch eShop, and I'd love to have one of the series to play on the go.

What I loved about the ones I played:

Story had a good balance of comedy and heart
Flexible and fun character building, with decent enough defined classes to get you started
Tons of post-game/side content (I didn't like every piece of it, but I liked how much there was to try.)
CAPTAIN GORDON, DEFENDER OF EARTH
Perfect geochains, though I was usually too smoothbrain for it.

What I didn't like:

Item world, IIRC worse in 1 than 2?
Adell's siblings
Demon court thing?

Yeah it takes awhile to realize that every netherworld is different with different customs, and that Laharl's has the most "demonic behavior" default demons of the whole series. The series quickly abandons the real "demon" energy in favor of just focusing on character and setting tropes and stereotypes instead
