Tactics Ogre: Reborn

The level cap was a terrible idea that ruins the whole remaster for me.

Disclaimer: I’m recommending this game only because I love the fantasy turn-based tactics genre — not because I think this game itself is great. It’s fun, but it feels very outdated. If you’ve already played modern turn-based tactics games like Divinity: Original Sin 2, Baldur’s Gate 3, or even older but more refined titles like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance or Advance 2, this game will likely feel very frustrating due to its shallow RPG elements. For example, each character can only bring four skills or spells for the entire game. There are about ten classes, plus some “special” characters with unique classes — but honestly, they aren’t special at all. They’re just basic mixes of existing classes. Another big issue is the progression system. Every time you change classes, you have to retrain weapon proficiency from scratch, and character levels are capped in each stage. This forces you to grind repeatedly, keeping you busy without providing meaningful rewards. There are many systems like this where the game demands a lot of time, but the return simply isn’t worth it. If I keep going, I’ll probably start to hate the game — so here’s my conclusion: If this is your first-ever turn-based tactics game, you might enjoy it and give it an 8/10. If you’re already familiar with the genre, it’s more like a 6/10. Instead, I strongly recommend trying Divinity: Original Sin 2 (which is often cheaper), or playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance or Advance 2 using a GBA or NDS emulator. Don’t waste your money on this game.

Tactics Ogre Reborn é um remaster do remake (PSP) o jogo original é do Super Nintendo Pontos Positivos: 👍O Design de Personagens é bem único e chamativo 👍 Bom enredo e narrativa 👍Essa versão trás tbm um ótimo voice acting e uma trilha sonora orquestrada 👍Sistema de Cartas de buff durante as batalhas Pontos Negativos: 👎Sistema de Trava de niveis 👎Sistema de nivelamento de niveis e equipamentos 👎Dificuldade extremamente elevada 👎Não tem localização PT-BR Foi um jogo um pouco decepcionante pra mim, eu esperava mais por ser um remaster de um remake, o sistema de union é ruin, tem várias mecânicas no jogo que em vez de somar só faz as batalhas ficarem mais complicadas e demoradas, em 90% das batalhas vc começa sempre em desvantagem, pra mim é um jogo que poderia tirar muita coisa que simplesmente ficaria melhor e mais palatável, zerei na força do ódio só por orgulho mesmo, então infelizmente não recomendo, caso vc goste de jogos táticos assim recomendo que procure outros títulos

As others have said, the level cap is a bit annoying. I'm ok with having a totally OP team and having the option to train a bit if needed. I Just about scraped through the last fight but it wasn't an easy win. Sometimes is just nice if a game pats you on the shoulder and says - "you know what, you are really just awesome". I got that with FFTA which was good (my sniper was soooo OP it was great :D), this feels a bit slow and like hard work in comparison, though the attacks, voicing and effects are nice so kudos to the team for those. Its a good game, its just a bit hard by design.

全実績、レリック版ブリュンヒルド入手でレビュー。 クリア後のワールド機能により取返しつかない要素はなし。 あえていうなら主人公達の解放軍の名前くらい。 原作未プレイ。 圧倒的な良ストーリー、神BGM、豪華声優陣によるボイスで個人的には圧倒的高評価。 声優陣そのままでストーリーはアニメ化（重いので映画化）してもいいんじゃないかと思うくらいでした。 システムも素晴らしいですが、１回の戦闘に時間がかかりすぎる為SFC版では心折れてたと思います。 バフカードが一部で不評のようですが自分は気にならなかったです。 アイテムアジャスト、レベルシンクは必要ないと思います（特に死者宮での強制レベルシンク） 本編も普通にクリアするだけならそこまで苦労しません。 自分の目的は実績解除はもちろん、レリック版ブリュンヒルドの入手でした。 生半可な強化では入手できないやり込み要素でしたので燃えましたねｗｗ 禁呪探索、死者宮、チャームやレリック装備集め、サンブロンサ、ボディスナッチ強化、十弐神将の武器、仲間集めや各種エンディング回収とやる事てんこ盛りです。が、もちろん達成感はハンパないです。 ぜひ「伝説のオウガバトル」もリメイクしてほしいですね。気長に待ちます。

Update after additional 160 hours: I actually like combat and constant high difficulty facilitated by level caps. Fights can last up to an hour, but they are always challenging and engaging. I don't like the story and right now I'm especially don't like wheels of fortune. After spending 130 hours doing everything in chapter 4 (including all 100 floors of the POTD dungeon (most of my play time, I went there with fairly bad team for the job but decided to finish it anyway), shrines ets.), the game saying to me to do it all again, because my ending is not good enough for post game. And it is not good enough because one particular character died in a dialog with two very vague choices (which I apparently pick wrong). Wheels of fortune allows me to save this worst character ever, but at a cost of 100+ hours of redoing everything in chapter 4. It will be faster this time, but point is - I need to do that instead of paying postgame when and where I want to. And honorable mention to the final boss: WTF game? I can solo him with lord Deneb to whom I gave all charms from all over the game, but only because he is LORD (and have access to defense and retaliation talents needed) and have a very high stats. Any characters I could bring with me - will die (and made a fight much harder to add insult to injury). Unprepared and/or unaware people will be stomped hard at this point. Overall I like the game but it is very "not for everybody" and has enough flaws to not recommend it in general. Fist impressions (original review): Just don't. Game balance make everything a painful endless slog. Damage calculation make you hit exponentially harder the more your damage outpace enemy defense. And since enemies will always have higher stats than you (hello from story progression level caps), every enemy will hit like a truck and take little to no damage. Have fun! Even when speed up, fights are still to slow. Giving command of your units to the in game IA (to speed things up some) would be bad even with good balance, but it is a suicide with how things actually are. The only place it is viable is training (non story battles to level up) which is another very bad design choice in this game - you basically required to do them any time level cap increased to make story missions a little bit more bearable. So, instead of leveling up during story like in any normal game, you have to do a dull grind to somehow compensate for a game poor balance. And my units movement will be haunting me in nightmares - it is poor as is (3-4 squares per turn) and then the game will constantly throw at your levels with tile properties or simple height difference that slow or even completely stop you from moving. Even more fun! My list of complaints is really long and there is nothing worthy of a praise here (except maybe voice acting). If you don't have a nostalgia for this game or love for old school clunky TRPGs, you will have a better time playing almost any title from recent decade or two.
