Tactics Ogre
Creators: Atlus
Date of release: Early summer '98
System: Playstation
The Story: In what I painfully endured of Tactics Ogre, the characters
were sent on a suicide mission to negotiate with the ruthless and invincible
'Black Knights'. The game is made by the same creators as Final Fantasy
Tactics and (strangely enough) the characters and plot coincide at many
parts. The story is well done, but the game is bogged down by its
battle system.
Review: 4/10. Tactics Ogre is beaten by 3 words: Final
Fantasy Tactics. The graphics on Tactics Ogre compared to FFT are
horrendous. The story of Tactics Ogre is very well done and original
though (that and compassion from voters got its 4 points). Tactics
Ogre's battle system is absolutely the worst I have seen. If you
are even one level less then the enemy, you will never be able to injure
them, much less defeat them. In fact, you will be extremely lucky
just to damage your enemy for a point of damage. I understand that
this came out earlier than FFT in Japan, but in America...thats a different
story. If you are a Playstation owner and looking for a good RPG/Strategy
game, I suggest you buy Final
Fantasy Tactics or go buy Ogre
Battle which are far superior games.
