I first bought and played this game after enjoying the demo of the 5th game of the franchise on the vita. - The anime comedy - gold - Pixel art/animation - Gold - Gameplay - Tactical RPG classic/Gold It's definitely one of the more unique entries in the series, but is still loved and aged well by those who enjoyed it. The fact this game is not on PC like it's sibling titles is outrageous.

I've been a fan of this series since the PS2 era... oddly enough this one has eluded me by a long time. Would be great it it were available again outside the PS3/Vita.

It was one of the first ever games I played on the ps3, It’s a childhood favorite of mine, sad to see it was never ported over to pc. I wish there was a way to preserve disgaea 3 and its dlcs along with its siblings

Disgaea 3 while not my 1st disgaea game is THE 1st disgaea game I have completed! I enjoy the cast of characters, the music is very unique to the game itself, and the amount of postlude, and dlc characters makes this game massive and super lovable. This is a game I’ve been waiting for to have a complete re-release but it has yet to happen! So please if there’s any real way to bring this version of the game back please make it happen I truly love this game and it made me a bigger fan of the series as I have been since 2012.

Cool game and the only mainline DIsgaea that isn't on PC so they should fix that but the purple Prism Ranger says the T-slur so they should probably not put this on my PC actually

This was my first game in english it helped me a lot to learn the language, me and my brother played it a lot we still have our two copies of the ps vita version. I'd give anything to being able to experience this game again on a better hardware, especially since almost every other disgaea is playable except this one :c
Its only on ps vita and ps3 and that's simply inappropriate at this point. Its only on ps vita and ps3 and that's simply inappropriate at this point. Its only on ps vita and ps3 and that's simply inappropriate at this point.

This must be the best Tactics RPG, it has humans and creatures that can progress and evolve, the story is quite cool and it has a HUGE post game! you could play this game for so long and always having a cool adventure

This is one of my favorite stories in all of the disgaea series. It had a great mixture of humor and I even had a moment of shock about what happened in a certain chapter. I miss this game so much. I still hold out hope that one day I'll have it on PC with the rest of my collections. So I can marathon the series.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IXThe ninth release in KOEI's Romance of the Three Kingdoms series casts players as rising rulers in ancient China and challenges them to unite the land under their rule. Following the basic design of earlier titles, players develop and manage large armies as they maneuver across the wide countryside, using both military force and diplomatic finesse to win territory and followers. The hard-core strategy framework is fleshed out with a variety of mission types, branching storylines, and an embellished adherence to the actual history and culture of the setting. Features in this edition include the ability to manage both political and military aspects of the empire, at the same time, allowing players to continue to negotiate while their troops are in battle. While this version of the game resumes the limitation that player characters must be of the Ruler class, officer development has been revised to allow greater control in developing followers. KOEI fans who also play Dynasty Warriors 4 and Dynasty Tactics 2 can use their save files to unlock a powerful, exclusive officer character. More than two-dozen Challenge scenarios, including 15 historical battles Use diplomacy and military might at the same time or shift strategies when appropriate More than 30 different tactics involving 12 military formations
