5.0 out of 5 stars Tactics Ogre, the pinnacle of strategy/RPGs, May 16, 2002
By Joseph Rodriguez (Iowa City, IA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I must confess, I bought this game only because I had played Final Fantasy Tactics and loved it. Desperate for a strategy/RPG fix, I got TO because many of FFT's creators had worked on it. But just because it preceded FFT does not mean it's not as good...on the contrary, it actually is more fun and absorbing than its slickly polished descendant.

Let's start with the bad news. Tactics Ogre was originally released for the Super NES, and it shows. With small, blocky sprites and the inability to rotate a camera (because the background is also 2D), TO won't be winning any graphics awards anytime soon. The in-game speech portraits are nice, though.

Tactics Ogre can also occasionally get monotonous - the most common culprit being the constant need for training. There's also a special 100-floor (!) dungeon that is not for the faint of heart.

Now the good news: The story is absorbing. TO takes place in the island nations of Valeria; you play Denim Powell, a young member of the Walstanian ethnic group. He, his sister Kachua, and his friend Vice are determined to lead Walsta out from under the oppressive hand of the ruling Gargastan. They're helped in this aim by a group of exiled warriors from Zenobia: the heroes of the first game in the Ogre Battle Saga. Eventually the scope of the conflict widens to include the rest of Valeria, and culminates in a bitter struggle for the High King's throne and for the power of an incredibly powerful magical artifact. TO's story would be its strongest point...except for one thing.

The gameplay.

Dear God, the gameplay. It's like a sundae smothered in hot fudge, chocolate sprinkles, whipped cream, and with a cherry on top: wonderful, but occasionally overkill. TO's gameplay is definitely deep; while it doesn't have the huge list of jobs and abilities that its descendant, Final Fantasy Tactics, does, I can't help but feel it's without a doubt more complex in terms of strategy. With over a dozen sidequests, not to mention three distinct paths through the game (each of which has its own special characters to get), there's no question that TO has even more replay value than FFT. And that's really saying something!

Tactics Ogre is definitely a game not to be missed. While Atlus is no longer making the game, if you can buy a used copy, do!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the longest games i've ever played!!, June 11, 2002
By A Customer
I've been an Ogre Battle fan for around 4 years. It took a while, but i got Ogre Battle 64 on clearance in '98. I loved it! Then, just a year ago, i got FFT. (GREAT GAME) While on the internet
looking for help on FFT, i saw many references to a game called Tactics Ogre. After many months, I got this of Ebay for 50 bucks. (Which is actually a VERY good price for this game w/ all inserts.)
Now, on to the review. This game (In terms of plot and class amounts) Is TONS better than FFT. The plot revolves around government, betrayel, and war. There are 3 different paths to take, and it took me around 50 hours to go through one of them. Sure, the graphics are fairly bad, but i figure if you can tell what everything is, your fine.
If you are lucky enough to find this game and you like it, I suggest you get Final Fantasy Tactics, which has a great job system and is now only 20 bucks. Thanks for taking your time to read this.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best RPGs ever made, August 8, 2001
By Global engineer (Cranberry Township, PA USA) - See all my reviews
While lacking in the graphics department(This game was originally designed for the super famicom) this game really is one of the best RPGs on PSX(destorying FF Tactics easily). The story is very long and draws you in right from the start. The battles for the most part are very challenging and very well done. Outside of battle you are given a lot of control over your large army(Of which you take 10 into battle) and you can always persuay other humans and monsters to join in your fight. There are a huge variety of different classes ranging from the usual(Knight, Cleric) to Gunner and Swordmaster. There are also a lot of various creatures, including golems, ghosts, hawkmen, and some really weird things that you can find in the expansive hidden dungeon(100 levels) called Hell's Gate. The best part about this game is the non-linearity to it, at several places in the game you are asked to make decisions that not only affect your army, but affect all the rest of the characters in the game. Each option leads you down a very different path to victory(there are 8 ending in all) of this very large game. If you can find this game, I suggest you buy it!
