Astlibra Revision captures the perfect definition of a hidden gem. Its engrossing gameplay and narrative makes it an easy recommendation to fans of the 2D action RPG genre.

The proper way of playing Tokyo Xanadu, if you don't care about portability that is.

It's the definitive version of one of the best Disgaea games that can now be played on the fly. A win-win Switchuation.
