+++ As someone who loved Tactics Ogre for the last 20+ years or so +++

The beautifully crafted graphics is heartwarming and endearing, and I feel better just by looking at them.

The storyline and the rich dialogues and depths, oh my God. The storylines and conversations are extremely masterfully done! It’s hard to praise it enough in this aspect. I burst into joy as a lover of Tactics Ogre story, characters and lore. It’s enrapturing, really.

………..So why the dislike???

Here is the thing; the game has one fatal downside for me. One, but crippling to the entire gaming experience.

[ the revamped battle system & level capping. ]

In short, instead of us being able to explore, experiment, grind, and farm for units, job classes, weapons, levels and stats to our heart’s content like the AWESOME original that we loved and spent hundreds if not thousands of hours on….

…..we get these level caps and restrictions on …..essentially everything.

We have to progress through the story while being level-capped and not being able to farm or grind or experiment anything, when those things were the appeal and charm of these strategy games, say, Final Fantasy Tactics, or the original Tactics Ogre.

Somehow the devs think we ought to play the game like a puzzle game or, heck, an exam – set limited resources and tight rules that will see us fighting uphill all the time.

Anti-grinding at its worst form.

I mean, seriously, if people want to grind in their freetime, why don’t you just let them?? This ain’t a competition or eSports excellence or some midterm exam. It’s a GAME for ENTERTAINMENT after tough days of work and we just want to play around and horse around with our digital army of knights and mages, not some IQ test where we have to wrack our brains to figure out the most effective way to complete tasks under stacked challenges THE ENTIRE GAME.

I’ve never been so in love and frustrated with a game at the same time.
If you like puzzle games and overcoming challenges, making the most out of limited resources under constraints given to you, or if the great story, events and lores interest you (they are really good, mind you. For many of you it might even offset the frustration of all the capping and restrictions.), then by all means go for it - if you don't mind all the capping and conditions/constraints, then the story is definitely worth it.

But if you like to play around with lots of freedom and loves grinding and trying out stuff,
then I’m sorry, but this game is likely not meant for you.

umm i will stick to the original refund me please :) 20 minutes is all it took :/

Not fun. Its very robotic. No edge pan... loot system is wack. There is a level cap each area. its just a junk game.
