Nippon Ichi Software and NIS America announced today that Disgaea is coming to the PC in February 2016. NIS America claimed that the PC version will be the ‘definitive’ version of Disgaea, and that it will not be a simple port. Therefore, the PC version will feature updated UI and textures, Keyboard/Mouse and controller support, as well as new Steam features, such as Achievements, Cloud Saves, Badges, and trading cards.
Disgaea is a strategy RPG, train your characters to level 9999 and deal damage by the millions in the wacky Netherworld that is Disgaea.
“Help Laharl become the Overlord by fighting complex battles that not only include spells and weapons, but also the unique Geo Panel and Lift & Throw systems.”
Here are the game’s key features:
- An SRPG from the most prolific SRPG creators in the world, Nippon Ichi Software
- Choose from over 40 unique character types
- Even with a max level of 9999, use Transmigration to start all over again, but your characters will be even stronger per level!
- Delve into the Item World, a randomly generated dungeon world, to level up your items!
- With max level characters and leveled-up items, dish out millions of points of damage!
- Over-the-top battle animations
- Geo Panels – A puzzle game within a Strategy RPG
- Lift & Throw – Throw your allies up ledges to reach enemies in hard-to-reach spots, or toss your enemies around instead!
- A zany story set in the Netherworld, where the notions of good and evil are reversed
New to Disgaea PC (It’s not just a port!):
- Updated UI and textures
- Keyboard/Mouse and controller support
- Includes all content from Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness
- New Steam features, such as Achievements, Cloud Saves, Badges, and trading cards

This strikes me as the kind of game that could carve out a niche for itself on PC, much like the Neptunia series. And hopefully that means more games in the series (as well as other NIS games) follow suit.
Fortunatelyit looks like NIS is somewhat aware of the expectations of the PC platform, which they have to keep in mind as many consumers have never played these console games and jump on because of word-of-mouth.
Hopefully the feature set the game ships with will convince those consumers to become longtime fans.
oh boy, with that amount of garbage AAA games being released…its almost a sure sucess of disgaea on STEAM…
I cant take more that horrible ads of stupid generic games on STEAM main page…AC, COD,
Star Wars on Origin
and yet those demonic highly stupid game on PSN main page Just Dance, FIFA…
[facepalm]
Please STEAM…help me out…i want to spend money…
Lemme keep playing F4 to avoid AC, COD ads!
>Please STEAM…help me out…i want to spend money…
Just wait a little bit, autumn and winter sales are coming.
hey it’s me 😀
It’s almost always the rule: AAA publishers looking at games like at ware they just want to sell have the most money so ads you see on those sites will be coming mostly from them.
Please make the K/M controls good. Scratch that, GREAT, not “good.” Many ports fall off in my book due to this. No hidden hardbound keys with the exception of ESC. No default mouse acceleration.
I may be picky, but I can’t stand it when I’m told Keyboard/Mouse support and then find that it’s done as basic as possible. UNFORGIVABLE! (good luck)
great news, played the first two with an emulator.
Same, I hope this means they eventually bring 3,4,5. Been wanting to play those, we won’t have to wait for the PS3 emulator if they do.
yeah i guess they will bring all of them, like FF13 and neptunia games, they just release all of them in one or two years. i will buy them again (well i pirated them but will buy them on pc), i prefer to play these games than those re*arded AAAs.
I love the quirkiness of the games. They are nice games, I hope we see more series from last-gen consoles ported to PC so that they don’t fade into obscurity.
Wow 0_0 . I would have been happy coz I’m a fan of Disgaea … but I’ve already played the hell out of this years ago on PSP —__—
Yes, I’m buying it. I really like the genre and it seems they are putting some effort on the PC port.
