I would like to preface this by saying there are a number of optimisation issues that are causing some users to experience low framerates (below 30 FPS) and some graphical glitching. NISA are aware of the problem and are trying to fix the issues, but please be aware that until it is fixed, you may experience some issues. EDIT 06/03/2016 - NISA have released a number of patches that seemed to have fixed most of the issues. There may be a few remaining minor issues, but the major ones have been fixed.

The Good:

Its Disgaea on PC! While the story is pretty basic, the writing is very self-aware. The main story will take about 20 - 30 hours to complete the first time around, but the meat of the game lies within the Item World and the bonus bosses. The Item World is a series of random maps that are used to strengthen items. As you progress through the Item World of your chosen item, it will gain levels equal to the number of floors you have cleared, which will improve its stats. Something to keep in mind: the more powerful the item, the stronger the enemies are.

The Bad:

Its Disgaea 1 on PC! This is a port of the original Disgaea game, with the addons from the PSP port "Afternoon of Darkness", so the complaints are the same: Many bills in the Dark Assembly are locked until you reach a specific rank in the Dark Assembly. Some Item World maps can be unwinnable because the game creates sections of land too far apart. If you execute a series of actions, any unused actions cannot be undone (ie, if you attack an enemy with 5 characters and the third one kills that enemy, the last two characters will still be counted as having taken their action for that turn). Also keep in mind that when using a controller, the game will only offer prompts for generic buttons (ie Button 1 is accept, Button 2 is cancel)
