Video Game Reviews of Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen
Customer Review: Not for the thinking gamer
Summary: 1 Stars
First, do not confuse this game with Tactics Ogre. They are both made by the same company, both have 'Ogre' in the title, and both cost about the same on Amazon. Tactics Ogre is one you want to buy, not this garbage.
The gameplay goes like this... you control multiple units on a world map. You can attack enemy units, occupy towns, or head straight for the scenario goal. If you always head straight for the mission goal, you will beat the game in less than 10 hours. I know, because that's what I did, and after that I never touched the game again. Honestly, playing this game felt like a chore, sort of like watching my laundry in the washing machine.
Game combat is simplistic. When one of your units encounters an enemy unit, it brings up a combat screen, sort of like early Final Fantasy (the first three). However, that is a tease, since all you do is watch. You don't enter battle commands. Sound fun? Maybe if you prefer watching games to playing them. The only tactical thing about this game is choosing the right time to fight, since you don't participate in the fights at all. Story wise, it wasn't special, so don't buy it for the plot either. The multiple endings thing is all a big riff on a single ending, depending on which characters are in your party at the end.
Basically, this is an extremely simple rpg game I'd recommend to beginners (as in children 7-12 years old), but nothing an adult would enjoy.
