I've become addicted to Disgaea. God have mercy on my soul.
I'm on Chapter 2 now, but most of my time has been spent leveling up new characters and on harrying excursions through Item World. I don't know if the monster levels scale with yours or are determined by some property of the item like rarity, but geez, it's hard. Sometimes I'm okay, but the last run was horrible, and I ended up with three out of eight people alive at the end, and had to throw myself to the warp panel in order to survive. I've never been able to clear the 10th level properly, so I don't have an exit item, and I'm always really nervous that I'll die and lose all my hard work.
It's a pretty neat game, though. I can totally see why it's such a huge time sink. There are just so many dimensions to explore. I haven't tried summoning the Dark Assembly yet, and that part really intimidates me, with the bribes and coercion and all. During battle it's so easy for me to get caught up in one thing, like clearing the geopanels, and end up missing something else. And then there's all the jobs and the way you can steal spells from your pupil and all. So confusing.
I'd been thinking before I came home how I missed playing a good sprite game, and I was thinking of replaying Arc the Lad, so Disgaea is a decent substitute. I probably won't get anywhere near beating it before I go back, though.
