Ogre Battle
Review by David Nester
One word: WOW. This game is really cool and
gives a really great 16-bit retro experience. A hit in the USA
and Japan for the SNES, Ogre Battle takes RPG/War Sim to new
heights. It's not really an RPG, it's not really a War Sim. But
it's better-a mix of both. The RPG portion of this game is that
you do normal RPG stuff-kill monsters, get items and treasures,
and beat bosses that probably have really bad breath. But there
are unique specialties, like hidden characters, liberating towns
and temples, finding Chaos Gates, and you can even get some of
the bosses to join your team! And the War sim qualities are the
fact that the terrain is advantegous and bad for different units,
and you can talk some people into joining your team! Cool! But
the cool stuff doesn't stop there. A unique battle system in
which everything is fully automated. Tarot cards are a cool
addition which gives you the upper edge over the competition,
Judgement being my favorite(a white magic blast!).(176) There are
over 75 classes to choose from like Halloween, Flare Brass,
Vampyre, and Platinum Dragon. In total, a very cool game with
everything the Final Fantasy series(except 7)has to offer....and
then some. If you've played FF1,2,3,or any other game like it and
want a new challenge, buy this game.
