Tactics Ogre: Reborn is a downgrade in the sense that you don't have as many options as the older versions of the game. The story allows you to make some ethical/moral decisions. Some of the battles were annoying but overall the game was pretty good. If you are a fan of Final Fantasy Tactics and are tired of begging Square for a remake, Tactics Ogre: Reborn is similar, just not quite as good. 7.5/10

I was a bit skeptical of this due to mixed reviews. However, I found myself hooked fairly quickly. The story is intriguing and the strategy RPG gameplay is challenging yet fair for the most part. I actually prefer this over FF Tactics, a game which this is often compared to, as it feels more balanced and the story more fleshed out (FF Tactics story seems like a watered down version of this one - I noticed a LOT of similarities). The controversial card system is neither good nor bad - depends on how lucky you are which I suppose can annoy people in a tactics game (but then again, critical hits are the same thing). I enjoyed playing with the different classes, which are all usable (unique classes being better though).

The main story isn't that long, but I used the World Tarot system to go back complete the three different endings and postgame content except CODA 4 (basically OP final boss stuff I couldn't be bothered). Definitely a must play for any Tactics RPG fan. It really is amazing considering how long ago this game was first made and yet it still holds up!

mixed? mostly positive? pssh no idea what ppls are on. Im having a BLAST with this game, I literally cant put it down...
wont go into a super long review, but the game is great, Ive no idea how it compares to OG, PSP version or whatsoever, but it absolutely stands on its own, its a fantastic J-sRPG, tooonsss of content, story is good even if convoluted and some times confusing as hell (at some point you get on it) and great gameplay systems... I am playing sRPGs since 1999... if you like this niche games, play this game!
