The tactical RPG has holds a special place in the hearts of gamers as far as game genres go. It's a love/hate relationship. On the one hand, being bored while playing games, fighting endless battles with no real goal in mind just to advance the plot. However the strategy elements, the chess-like plotting and considerations that entail fighting through a game of Final Fantasy Tactics or Advance Wars keeps gamers coming back.
A few years ago Shawn of Filefront stumbled upon Disgaea 2 and La Pucile Tactics, two games in this genre by NIS America. Both games had the typical turn-based tactical RPG feel to them that reminded him of the classic Final Fantasy games he'd enjoyed in the 90's. There was one marked difference though for Disgaea - it was legitimately funny.
A Japanese PlayStation Store page for Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, the PSP remake of the original Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, has appeared.

Since 2003, NIS has been giving people a way to help groups of antiheroes accomplish goals of varying degrees of morality. With new versions and iterations arriving every few years, someone might wonder how they could hop into these strategic scenarios. Well, if people check out this guide, they might find a way to make the Netherworld your new second home.
Michibiku's Jenni Lada writes, "Disgaea is an established and respected series. The JRPG has set trends with its story and mechanics. After all, it’s one of the many founders of the whole “overlord antihero” stereotype. Its insane level caps and encouraging of massive damage outputs have made it an icon. It’s no wonder that the original game, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, is on its fourth port."
