Tactics Ogre: Reborn review – One of the best strategy games of all time gets even better Leave a comment
Tactics Ogre: Reborn is a remake of a remake. But that makes it no less important – essential, even – in the modern day. The strategy title – coming to PS4, PS5, Switch and PC – is a lush reworking of 2010’s infamous RPG, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together that isn’t afriad to dip its hands into the chest cavity of the original and move the organs around inside, restarting the heart with a well-presented and sharp pump of its fist.
Square Enix has, essentially, removed barriers to play in getting Tactics Ogre: Reborn out into modern players’ hands. By letting your units take a little tour of the battlefield and collect cards that buff their stats and open their options up, you’re no longer confined into one specific style of play with your armies. Letting your defensive classes, say, beef up their sword arms and get stronger hits in? That’s viable now.
It means that your myriad battles – all lasting somewhere between 20 to 50 minutes – can unfold more fluidly. By dominating the battlefield and understanding your surroundings (and responding to the Buff Cards that like to spawn into the field), you can more readily and spontaneously respond to enemy threats.
