    This game is a must have for people who are in love with turn-based strategy games like myself. The gameplay is very unique and has a lot of strategy elements in it: terrain, elements, different classes, weather, etc. The story is also very interesting which is consistent with the Tactics Ogre franchise.

The gameplay is very unique and has a lot of strategy elements in it: terrain, elements, different classes, weather, etc. The story is also very interesting which is consistent with the Tactics Ogre franchise. Difficulty wise, i think the game is fair - until you spend a lot of time grinding in the training mode which can be repeated infinitely - then the game becomes a cakewalk. The game also allows the player to pick different routes which lead to alternate endings which increases the game's replayability. I have recently purchased the Tactics Ogre game for PSP, which is a remake of the original because of my love for this game. I am sad that these type of games don't have a much of a place on consoles anymore because of a niche market - but I am happy that Atlus continues to develop these games. (Overall 9+ - battle is a bit slow paced, animations are a bit slow)… Expand

    This is a great game, with an interesting story and fun turn-based tactical gameplay. It's hard not to compare it with Final Fantasy Tactics Advance as the two share strikingly similar visuals.
    The recruiting system is also quite interesting and class systems require certain accomplishments of the unit to qualify.

    The storyline is on the verge of epic and the characters are wonderful. The game was a bit too easy at times but overall it was good.

    Using a wonderfully epic and cinematic story, great gameplay mechanics that go deeper than the deepest lake, and a whole heaping serving of what makes the series great, it's a fine addition to any RPG fan's library.

    This is by far one of the best video games ever made. The sheer number of different character combinations you can have is astounding. The story is compelling, and the gravity of it all is breathtaking. There is nothing better than having a holy spear or a complete set of elemental armor. And the fact that you can have characters such as Angel Knights or Liches adds so much more flavor to This is by far one of the best video games ever made.

    Melhor jogo que já joguei de tactis na vida, e é um jogo que só pela historia já vale a pena.

    Simply the best turned based strategy game for gba, the last boss is unforgettable even tho i've played it a while ago, Atlus games are so much fun.

    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.

    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.
