Tactics Ogre Reborn Launch Trailer, My Thoughts

In 1995, Quest Corporation released the game Tactics Ogre for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, or the Super Famicom in Japan. The game had been in development for two-and-a-half years. The second game in the Ogre Battle series, it takes place in the war-torn kingdom of Valeria. You play as Denim Powell, a resistance fighter who gets caught up in the various conflicts in the area.

The game would sell 500,000 units in Japan. It would also receive positive criticism. The game would then go on to be ported to the PlayStation and the Sega Saturn. The game would then get remade for the PlayStation Portable as Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. It has gone on to be regarded as one of the very best tactical RPGs ever made. This remake has been remastered for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStations 4 and 5, and Microsoft Windows. Let's look at the trailer!

Heh. I like that they kept with the original mid-90s look. It's okay for video games to be colorful, guys, gals, and whatever you wish to identify as.

Am I the only one who thinks Denam's name is a bit...odd-sounding for this world?


War is Hell, indeed.

Huh. So let me get this straight. If you get different results for this personality test, you'll get affiliated with different gods, which affects your path in the game? Hey, there's something for replayability.

Hey, customization! Find what works for you! I'm all for that!

I like that rewinding feature. Sometimes, you make a stupid mistake, and you need to erase that, or all your work will be for nothing.

I'm betting permadeath is a thing in this game. It would make sense, considering the game's whole "decisions affect the path you go on" thing. 

Well, this looks like a fun game. I'm not normally into tactical RPGs myself, but this is supposed to be a classic, and I'm always willing to give a game like this a try. Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, show it off! Take care of yourselves and each other! Stay safe, stay healthy, stay home, wash your hands often, wear a mask, and get your vaccine/booster! See you next time!
