5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best RPG/Stratagies ever made, May 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen (Video Game)

I own a copy of the game and I am here to tell anyone who is looking for a good Stratagy/RPG to pick up this game. It has a great plot(though its hard to learn everything in one passing throught the game). You are the leader of the Revolutionary Amry who wan'ts to save the Zenobians from the evil sage Rashidi who betraded his friend King Gran Zenobia. During the game you meet many different characters and people. Some join your side, some give you helpful items, and some are evil and attack you. Also there are 13 different endings and some of the end in an evil way. So you can be evil and take over the continent after you destory the current rulers or you could destory the Zentingian army so that the rightful desendent of King Gran Zenobia, Trisdam, can become the king. Thier is also a very evil ending and a very good ending. In the very evil ending you give a demon the Bruinhild sword and he eventually takes you over and kills your friends. In the very good ending you become ruler of Zenobia and lead it to prosperity.

this game was the very first ever of its type. think of it like an on-line rpg, with 20 people(each controling a group) all under your command. By broadening the focus of the game so that individual battles are mostly pretty minor, you get to focus more on character developement and strategy. great game

I think only Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy can top this game for greatest SNES game of all time. Though the game lacked a little polish in parts, overall this is a strong contender for best SNES game.

The PS remake was a little lackluster though. I recommend playing the SNES version and not dealing with annoying loading times and weird camera angles.

First: you DO NOT control your units, instead each unit has a set number and types of attacks based on their class and location in either front or back row. You can dictate tactics and change tactics mid battle (basically telling them to focus on the strongest, weakest, enemy unit leader, or the enemy they will hit for most damage). Tarot cards can help affect the outcome of battles when used properly as well. Also note that your hero gains experience from enemies killed with Tarot cards and can level up insanely fast and lose Alignment and charisma this way (for those who have played this game).

The graphics are great, the battles take place on an open book with the particular terrain type represented. Battles are quick and interesting, the sprites have good animations for their attacks. The music is some of the best for SNES. There are not a ton of individual music pieces, but they are quality.

The replay value is INSANELY HIGH! Try replaying the game and following the path of evil! Recruit different units and different optional NPCs! There are several different endings based on the path you follow, the NPCs you recruit, and the attitude of the people towards you. I have beaten the game and seen at least 6 or 7 endings and I hear their are more than 10.

Highly recommended if you like FF Tactics and other strategy based games.
