Was fun enough for the hours I've put into it.

Might be a solid game, but given that I've still got Disgaea 4-6 on my plate still, I feel like I have to put this down and play some iterations that probably improved upon this formula at this point.

Not sure who I'd recommend this to, as you either played the first game and are interested in checking this out, or you're someone who probably has come in on D4+ or later and I can't imagine there's much reason to suggest going back to this. If you're one of the twelve people on Earth that are interested in this game and haven't played D1 or anything after D2, congratulations -- you may as well check this game out.

The game is really fun and I made it into Chapter 3, but as with any game that has lots of sidequests/substories and mini-games, I am my own worst enemy and spend half my time playing shogi, bingo golf, and other random stuff because I can instead of advancing the plot. Will definitely come back to this someday.
