You should give it a crack, morriss. It is definitely a bottomless pit in terms of tactics. You should give it a crack, morriss.

It's really a turn-based strategy game - small arenas, lots of character smashing each other in the face with whatever comes to hand. I like it because they rewrote the TBS rulebook. It's not po-faced, it's almost entirely open-ended so you can put as much or as little as you like into it, and they took the time to remove as many restrictions as they possibly could from the rulebook - other games would prevent you from doing stuff like throwing enemies out of bounds or onto other enemies or into your base, but Disgaea positively encourages it.

There's a lot of RPG conventions used in it that it's just assumed you "know", but if you're looking for something to get lost in, it's perfect. The story, characters, etc, are making me laugh out loud. Blerk: The Geopanel stuff is definitely a little bit beyond me at the moment. I get the basics, but then sometimes it just "does" something completely random. I mean, it obviously isn't random, but I don't know why :) Tonka: It’s brilliant, definitely, but pretty hardcore.

They're not for everyone, though. I couldn't really say whether you'd like it or not. Beware Item World, Pat! It's addictive. As are Geopanel chains. I think I spent more time figuring those out than I did fighting. Disgaea games are brilliant. They’re not for everyone, though. I couldn’t really say whether you’d like it or not.

Not that it's the most graphically taxing of games to begin with, but that's hardly the point. I might buy this for my son's DS. He'll be six by the time it comes out. I'm sure that's old enough.
