What players say
Seeing the negative reviews made me avoid this game since it came out. Those reviews came from people who played either the original or the PSP version and feel like this remaster doesn't live up to them. That's fair. As my first Tactics Ogre experience, I can only compare it to Final Fantasy Tactics. The main problem with Tactics Ogre is that the battles are too long. There can be up to 24 characters in the field...
Tactics Ogre: Reborn is nothing short of a masterpiece, a shining beacon in the realm of tactical RPGs. From the moment I dove into its beautifully crafted world, I was captivated by the depth, complexity, and incredible attention to detail that this game offers. The enhanced graphics and stunning visual design bring the classic story to life with a fresh vibrancy, making every battle feel epic and every story beat...
I really wanted to like this game, but.. meh. The combat is getting really tedious after a while. A couple rounds of getting everyone in range, then focusing down one enemy after another with mostly basic attacks and the occasional debuff. I read several times how deep and complex Tactics Ogre is, but so far I'm not really seeing it. You have positioning, elements, damage types, tarot cards etc., but none of it has...
