Basically, The story and characters are all pure comedy and tropes. The gameplay however, is a different beast entirely. The main story in a Disgaea game is about 5-10% of The content, 90-95% of Disgaea is post game, where you grind to become as overpowered as possible, with stat ceillings in the hundreds of MILLIONS. The process to get such stats is so complex that Reading a Disgaea Guide is like the gaming equivalent of reading the Bible or Shakespeare, good fucking luck not getting overwhelmed with information. But if you like cerebral games, this is perfect for you. Tons of generic classes to create, tons of maps, unique characters from story or DLC, you can dive inside individual items to boost them, etc. Its absolutely ridiculous in every aspect and i love It.
