Nearly five years ago, gamers first got a crack at Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, a quirky TRPG set in the Netherworld. This game mixed a unique blend of humor with tactical combat and defied many of the common conventions of RPGs and of games in general.

Nippon Ichi Software recently released a patch for Disgaea 3, the first game in the series to appear on the PlayStation 3. The patch will allow players to recruit the ‘ten gentlemen” to their party, but only if two conditions are met.

This editorial is, of course, assuming that many of the basic game mechanics, such as specialists, carry over into Disgaea 3. Continue reading ‘Editorial - What I’d Like to See in Disgaea 3’ »
