An incredibly deep strategy RPG with a branching story line and a rewarding battle system. [Feb 2003, p.97]

Tactics Ogre is something truly original, both in form and execution, and once you start playing it, you'll know you're in for a treat.

This game is the shiznit. It’s the best game on the Game Boy Advance.

This was sort of boring, to me. I love FF Tactics, so I thought this was going to be up my alley. The music is kinda weird and choppy… not like that has a huge effect on the game. But the battles can take forever when you have to wait your turn.

I have so much fun every time I play this game. Everything about it, from the story to the gameplay, is just amazing. I enjoyed every moment while playing this game

Turn-based combat strategy that looks and plays exactly like Final Fantasy Tactics but with more of a driving narrative. If you liked FFT, you will like this too.

The story is rich and interesting with just enough plot twists and turns to keep you on your toes, but not too many to make you scratch your head in confusion...Without a doubt, one of the finest games for the GBA to date.

Long, packed with value and excellently executed, armchair tacticians will appreciate the deep character design, while RPG enthusiasts will be surprised to find an extremely well developed storyline with branching paths backing the tactical focus.

Engaging adventuring and razor-sharp fun for fans of epics and real-time strategy. [May 2002, p.138]

The biggest downside to the game is that it is very deep and does require a lot of patience. For instance, after you complete your turn, you have to sit through the computer’s entire turn. After a while this can get tedious, especially in a long battle.

The sheer number of battles, along with the multiple endings (the story branches at several points based on the gamer’s selections), extra maps with hidden treasure not found in the main quest, and the multiplayer function that allows players to put their squads head-to-head make Tactics Ogre a game with a lot to offer in terms of gameplay.

A good game, but it fails to distinguish itself enough from it’s 1997 cousin. Same character models, same environments, same battle engine, same items, same weapons, same spells...there’s something to be said for consistency, but I feel Tactics Ogre needed to expand on the idea a little more, not just carbon-copy it.
