Do not buy this. It is in an extremely unfinished state, far less polished than KSP1 and is never, ever going to be finished unless it gets handed to a different company. Just really disappointing; they should have just refunded everyone.

As a sentimental queer, I enjoyed this a lot

These girls gay.

Nice and gay.

This game cured my depression.

I too wish to form an eldritch cuddle pile.

It's like a nice painting that kills you.

Well at launch I'm one of the people that could completely rememedy their FPS issues by fiddling with settings, it's my understanding that not everyone is so lucky but the developers are looking into those issues at the moment so hopefully that will be remedied in the not so distant future. (My settings are all new graphical features off except the new UI with Vsync on using a DS3 controller).

This is the first Disgaea game and probably my second favorite after Disgaea 4. The story is excellent, the main story (with some grinding of course, this is a japanese srpg after all) is crazy long (I think last time it was 80 ish hours for me on the PSP version), the characters are generally likable, there's a bunch of zaniness with random bouts of seriousness, and it's just generally very enjoyable if you like SRPGs (Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem) without requiring it to take itself too seriously.

Granted, this is a PS2 game ported to the PSP and then finally ported to the PC. The main place this starts showing this age are the graphics, which look only slightly better upscaled and are otherwise unchanged (unless you choose to use new map textures). The other is the lack of class/combat/quality of life features in later disgaea entries. For instance there is no option to change text display to instant, many later classes are missing, you can't toss towers directly on to people you need to throw them next to people, etc. But those features (aside from the text display one) are mainly only going to be noticed as missing by someone who has been playing later entries into the series while the older graphics are probably going to be up to taste.

This game series has a history of INSANELY long post-game content. In addition to the usual alternate ending fair/NG (and Etna mode) there are also massive challenges that require a huge amount of grinding, reincarnating, grinding more, etc, etc to even accomplish. But if you're the kind of person that can handle it the content is there and it will eat a lot of time.

I really like the entirety of the series and I hope that they also begin making their way over here (hopefully in their PSP/PS Vita versions with all DLC/extra content included in the base game) but for now this is a great first step into a giant, complicated, grindy, funny, and lovingly crafted series. I hope you decide to try it, dood.

This is a short, touching game that you need to give a shot immediately.

This game is already pretty fun, but if you join a group it's a much more enjoyable experience.
