    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

    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.
