One final release to keep RPG fans content for the weekend ahead, Square Enix has today released Tactics Ogre: Reborn onto the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Windows PC (via Steam) gaming platforms. This is a reimagined and remastered release of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together for the PSP, which itself was a remake of the original Tactics Ogre RPG for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation 1 back in the mid-90s.
Tactics Ogre: Reborn is not just a direct port, and seeks to deliver “beautifully converted high-definition graphics, updated battle systems and vast sound improvements – including fully-voiced cutscenes (English and Japanese), recreated sound effects and re-recorded live background music composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto”. Furthermore, the game’s AI has been reworked, hopefully making for a more satisfying gaming experience overall.
Tactics Ogre: Reborn – Story Synopsis
Tactics Ogre: Reborn is set in The Valerian Isles, jewels of the Obero Sea. Following many years of conflict, there finally rose a man to put an end to this: Dorgalua Oberyth. Known as the “Dynast-King,” he brought peace and prosperity to Valeria for half a century. After his death, a civil war erupts and throws the isles of Valeria into a bloody struggle for power between three warring factions. In Tactics Ogre: Reborn, players follow the story of a young man, Denam Pavel, caught in the centre of the bloodshed. Although he seeks a path of freedom and justice, players will soon discover that even the noblest of goals requires impossibly difficult decisions to be made.
In Tactics Ogre: Reborn, players will take control of a team of units on the battlefield and utilise the turn-based combat system to act strategically and gain the upper hand over their enemy. As players progress, they can recruit additional party members, experiment with various classes, weapons, magic, and abilities, and make key decisions at several instances in the story that will ultimately impact how events unfold.
Tactics Ogre: Reborn is now available digitally on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC via their respective digital distribution platforms. A standard physical edition for the three consoles are also available.
