At least in this game, you need to grasp the fundamentals of the battle, whereas in OB you can could clear the entire game while having no clue how the hell any of it works. While Tarot Cards were the gamebreakers in OB, Wizards are the gamebreakers here.


Unfortunately, Tactics Ogre isn’t that much better in the gameplay department. (It at least had great music though!) Fortunately, Quest got their act together (sort of) and produced a far superior sequel with 1995’s Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. It’s also among the worst balanced strategy games I’ve played, seeing how easily Tarot card spam can trivialize the entire game and render all of its systems pointless. (In Breaking Bad’s case, Season 1 in GnR’s case, Appetite for Destruction in Matsuno’s case, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together.)įor a little bit of background, Tactics Ogre is the second installment in the “Ogre” series, the first being the dreadful Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen – a game which features a terrible storyline, terrible pacing, terrible lack of control, a terrible fanbase which functions as one of the best examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect I’ve seen, and an overall terrible mix of ideas that didn’t mesh well together. Q: What do Guns n’ Roses, Breaking Bad, and Yasumi Matsuno all have in common?Ī: They’re all incredibly overrated, but at least had one highlight of their career.
