What we have here with Tactics Ogre: Reborn is a remake, remaster, reimaging, or whatever you want to call it of the 2010 game that blew people away. I remember I had a buddy who must have spent 200 plus hours with the original version of this game. He was the one who turned me onto this and while I am not as excited as my friend is, as far as strategy games go, not many are as big as this one right here. Rather than looking at the game as a whole, I really want to focus on what is new with this version of the game.

A Land Divided

I do want to touch on the story of Tactics Ogre: Reborn. To be fair, this game is far more story driven than you would think. It as the title suggests is a game with a fantasy story and there was once a king who managed to reunite all of the people and lands of the kingdom and people pretty much lived in peace for the most part. However, once the king dies, there is a bit of a power vacuum where we have three very different sides all trying to stake their claim and ensure that they are living as good a life as possible. There are many different endings in the game and you may be surprised at how much you can alter the story as it moves forward.

Staying Classy People

Tactics Ogre: Reborn had a pretty average class system back when it was first released over a decade ago. However, with this reborn version of the game, it has what they class as a “unit by unit” level system which gives you more direct control over your units and troops. You can make it so your group is tailored to your needs with different classes, equipment, magic, and various skills. If you have played the original game, you may be surprised at just how much more you can tinker with your units. The tactical based combat where the terrain plays a role and each move is vitally important is as much fun and addictive as ever, but it is all the things surrounding the core gameplay that has been modernized here.

A Classic Adventure For A New Generation

Of course, as Tactics Ogre: Reborn is being built from a game that is over a decade old, they have done a lot of work on the visuals. To be fair, the original game was already a great looking game, but this latest version has improved it for the HD generation! The colors are more vibrant and they truly bring those amazing backgrounds to life and the game is a real joy for the eyes. The pixel art has the same charm that it did back when the game was originally released, but it just looks so much sharper. Another thing that helps the presentation is the fantastic sound design which features some incredible voice acting.

If you are someone that has a great deal of love for the original game, Tactics Ogre: Reborn is going to blow you away! I do not see anyone who was into the original game being disappointed with the work that has been done. They clearly have treated the original game with a ton of respect, but they have brought it to this current generation with some excellent modernizations that make the gameplay experience more fun and enjoyable. Thanks to these improvements, I feel that this would also be a great game for people who never had the pleasure of playing the original game.

Pros:

  • This game tells a very interesting fantasy story
  • The new flashier and sharper visuals are very impressive
  • They have freshened up the gameplay to make it more accessible
  • Overall, this is one of the best tactics games ever made

Cons:

  • Like most tactics games, it does have a learning curve
  • I am probably going to have to hear my buddy talk about this game for the next ten years!
