I was really surprised to see this game made it onto Steam as other Japanese indie games with US publishers like Suguri and Gundemonium never did. While I don't have much interest in this particular game, I decided to pick it up anyway as I wanna support the publisher (they're also looking to localize Chantelise, which I can confirm is an excellent game) and would like to see more Japanese indie games appear on Steam. If you feel the same way, I suggest you pick it up as well. It's only  $17.99/€13,49 and slated for release on September 10th. "

It looks pretty cool. I'm downloading the demo now to give it a try.

Just played the demo. Wow is this game strange and fun. 

It's a great game -- you can remap the controls through the config utility (should be in the game directory); it works great with a controller.  I'm amazed it's on Steam, really, I wasn't expecting much.

Yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed the demo. The mix between the whole shop aspect and the dungeon battling works really well. The aspects of humour in it are really cool too.

Good know people enjoyed the demo, as I bought the game without trying it out first. :D

" Yeah, the demo is pretty nuts. Love the feel to the combat. "

yeah this game is great, these guys are on another forum I go to and it's super interesting to hear how they translated it.

Oddly this game is really good having just played the demo.
 
I'm thinking of buying a DS again, shame it's not on there, seems like it'd fit perfectly.

Tried the demo, played it twice and now I'm waiting to buy and download the full game. This is a quirky, charming little gem.

This is the sort of batshit crazy game that makes me wish I could afford it and some video capturing equipment.  I love that games like this exist.

This game needs a quicklook.

The art style instantly makes me less interested in the game.

Quicklook would be nice.

Played the demo and loving it, however I have died and reloaded a couple of times for being 3 shot in a dungeon :(.
 
I dunno how this would work for a Quick Look since reading sucks and all.

Just finished loading it up, booting up now.

Demo was fun. I liked the sense of metahumour it had on show. I'll be buying this in the next few days.

Why does that sound so familiar?   Oh yeah, I heard the exact same things after Disgaea was released...  Too bad that game never went anywhere, eh? "

Loved the demo, sucks that I can't get it till the end of the month.

I do want to buy this game, JRPGS always have my heart.

Capitalism, ho!

Pretty good game. Nice difficulty curve too (everyone who thinks the beginning is hard will shit their pants on the last week).
 
I'm not sure if it is 20 bucks good but it does have massive replay value.

This game is fun as hell. And thankfully I can optimize it to the point where I'm actually able to play it on my shitty-ass laptop.

Eh? Can't seem to find it on the steam store at all.... Weird. Won't even come up in the search bar.

Quick Look.  For the sake of yayifications.

Got the full game, didnt play the demo... overall good experience, but the damn weekly bill to pay is killing my fun, good thing u come back with all ur items, heros xp and dungeon progress, maybe is just me, i suck at merchentcraft (half portuguese here)

Did he ever say it won't "go anywhere"?  

Do you even know if Gizmo likes Disgaea? I don't know if he does, I've never seen him say anything about it. 

 I haven't looked in depth, but I don't think I need to do that to make my point. He's just giving his own personal opinion. If he doesn't like the art style, he doesn't like it. No other games and no other people matter in this case. "

This game will have you up at 6 am and not crashing till 4am the next day. You really have no room for error... if you don't make the bank payment on the due date... you will be sleeping in a cardboard box. Recettear is insanely addicting! I've had to restart 3 times as I learn the ropes of shopkeeping/dungeon crawling. I'm still not sure how I'll ever make the payments.

I was interested in the concept of this game but was put off by the art style. I'm really not a big fan of that style, but nonetheless I installed the demo on steam. I've played it for 15 minutes and already love it, the writing is very sharp and witty which really helps make this game more than a generic JRPG, I'm pretty sure I'm either going to buy this today or wait until it's in a sale on Steam.
