    Square Enix's "Tactics Ogre: Reborn" has turned out really well as a new edition. The storyline and the fights are fun from the first second on. In addition, there is a great and intense soundtrack. The graphics and the new features bring a breath of fresh air to the remake and, in our opinion, round it off well.

    O jogo é simplesmente uma celebração do RPG tático.

    Really loved this series and glad Square Enix port the PSP version. Lot of the class system is reworked and it really make the game less grindy. You can also still use the auto function, really helpful when you're entering the training mode. While I prefer the old Japanese voice actor for Sega Saturn for Lanselot Tartaros, the other voice actor for the other character is pretty good.Really loved this series and glad Square Enix port the PSP version.

    Can't wait to spend hunded hours in this game again! I'm still around 17 hour at the moment.    … Expand

    And unlike some other 'great for their time' classics, Tactics Ogre holds up to its contemporaries today    … Expand

    Although this game has minor improvements to a version released 27 years ago, it maintains its high story quality and excellent gameplay, perhaps the best 2D game this year

    I loved the original, but One Vision on PSP is much superior. Unfortunately, this port draws from both without quite capturing the magic of either. Awkward battle cards on the battle field that drive up RNG, proccing abilities that don't make sense as procs, level capping, no random battles, a class rebalance that just shifts the OP classes around, few unique abilities to differentiateI loved the original, but One Vision on PSP is much superior.

Awkward battle cards on the battle field that drive up RNG, proccing abilities that don't make sense as procs, level capping, no random battles, a class rebalance that just shifts the OP classes around, few unique abilities to differentiate classes... Sure, there is a better AI, decent voice acting, cleaned up (but not redone) graphics... but it just doesn't add up to much relative to One Vision. Still, Tactics Ogre is one of the best rpgs ever made and even this somewhat inferior port is extremely fun. If you can't get access to the PSP version then this will still capture the old nostalgic magic, if not quite all the fun.… Expand

    50 bucks for another port of the awkwardly-named TO:Let Us Cling Together? Hard pass.

    Good game. Bad price point. Don't fall for yet another Squenix cash grab. Wait for a sale or use an emulator.

    This game has nothing new. It's just a re-release in 4K... A big waste of time and money.

    I’d say game is unfinished. Design decisions (this game specifically) that reduce or remove fun. The last boss must not have been beta tested as it’s neigh impossible. I’m a veteran to the genre and I found I had little fun the whole way fun, and quit the final boss after 5 tries. Top level, best gear I could make, full items, min maxed team.

Starting to wonder looking at all the recent square games what the literal **** is happening at HQ.

    Avoid this game if you value your time and sanity, it really is that bad.    … Expand

    One of my all time favorite games remastered. And they did one of the best jobs I've ever seen. This is not a simple port by any stretch of the imagination. I have no issue with the price as they did a lot of work to the game, and honestly its almost a whole new experience. I would love to see them do the same with Final Fantasy tactics.

    This is a TRPG, and I've been liking these type of games, along with CRPGs. I do like that it's not really a JRPG as those are generally not serious/too much dialogue, but rather goes for a medieval style which is quite cool. You don't really get a lot of games that have that setting and also are a TRPG. I like that it has a very deep story and explores a lot of themes, but easy enough to follow and understand what's going on. That's amazing since there's a LOT of characters, a lot of games fall into that trap where there's way too many characters and it just gets confusing who's who or why should we care, etc.

    You can get a lot of hours out of this game, and I think the game does deliver for what it is, an updated remaster with some additional features mainly voice acting. I think the voice acting is solid for the most part, and the writing is solid

    I do think there are a few flaws, mainly that some of the boss fights are really difficult as they get better positioning and have a few clerics, so it really draws out some of the battle length. Also, some of those boss fights can be just unfair and took me several tries before reading up on some strategies. Some of the fights can be lame though as you can just rush the boss for example if they are like a mage/sorcerer they can be easily won against, thus not as challenging battle then. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the level cap per sections, yet the enemies can be a few levels above yours. I think they could of done away with it and thus made that the easy mode for those who need to level up to win, as there's no difficulty levels in this game.

    If you put the time and effort, it's a great game, but the difficulty may be too much for some.    … Expand

    Tactics ogre is such a great game. I would gladly pay full price for this game every time they update it or port it. It’s just that good. If you’re a fan of the genre then I highly advise getting it.

    And to all you guys giving it low scores, you are **** idiots.

    Overall, Tactics Ogre: Reborn is a fantastic game! As a fan that has played all three it’s hard to say which version I like best. I like the system changes made in Tactics Ogre: Reborn, simplifying removing skill points from the game and entirely relying on magic points in fights makes a lot more sense. The biggest problem with this version is removing random encounters from the game. While I understand the choice, they could have just added the level cap and possibly kept random encounters — which is something I enjoyed doing in other tactical RPGs such as Final Fantasy Tactics. Overall, I really enjoyed my time in Tactics Ogre: Reborn and look forward to many more hours with the game.

    Tactics Ogre: Reborn really set the gears in motion for a genre. Since the first launch of this game in 1995, a lot has changed and this title has been staunch in both keeping to its roots and also making some needed changes to modernise the game.

    For the most part, Tactic Ogre: Reborn is a good game. Heck, it's a great game. But my run took me headfirst into what feels like the cheapest and most unfair change of mechanics that I can remember in my entire personal gaming history. The entire playing experience was spoiled as a result. With the review finished, I am now deleting this game from my hard drive and never returning. I feel betrayed by a terrible design choice and look at the dozens of hours to get to this point as a waste of my time.
