Ogre Battle 64 Rulez

I have played this game many, many times. Too many to count. If it is not apperant by the title of this review I think this is an excelent game. Because it is so long and has so many complexcities it has some great replay value. Gaining powerful units such as the princess and the dragoon is chalanging and fun, as well as mastering the chaos frame and creating perfect teams. The storyline is complex and includes a corrupt holy empire and demons from the other world, as well as rebels, slaves, love and much more. Awesome game, I highly recomend it.

I must admit that this was a hard game to find. If you like the first Ogre Battle(either on the SNES or the playstation), you'll enjoy this one as well. Engrossing storyline, multiple endings, mass customization, it has all of that. Just a warning to people, it can take extremely long time to finish, so patience is a must to enjoy this game. I'm actually proud of the N64 after playing this game, I hated the lack a real RPGs available. It's too bad no more RPGs like this one came out for the N64.

A Simple Explination

Ok, heres the deal, after reading what others thought about this game, I have come up some conclusions for their answers. 1. A big complaint I hear is that the characters have no background, are simple, and you cannot relate to them. My answer; In the beginning of the game, I agree. They have nothing going for them. But as the game proggresses, They become much deeper. Their past unfolds before you. Also, check the Hugo report for full details on the characters found throughout the game. Second. The game is too long. I dissagree, as well. Now although I grant you can't beat this game overnight, I found that didn't really want too. IU wish the story would last forever, with its detailed characters (they become quite advanced by the end of the game) and intricit stroyline. And this does holds all the basic elements of an RPG. Anyone who says different, in my personal opinion, does not truley know what an RPG is. Now, you don't control the characters in combat yourself, you give the strategys (attack leader, attack strongest, attack weakest, etc.) and you equip them with different weapons, and armor. You also assign where they are on a small grid wich determines wat attacks they use and how many times they attack.. They then duke it out themselves. This helps add excitment to the battles. For, you don't exactly know who there going to attack. Some may call this annoying. I really don't think so, but, as I said, it is their opinion. You do control where a unit moves. This brings possibilitys. Like mountains and swamps, snow, and forests to slow you down. But you can use specialty units that are designed to fight in those condtions who have the edge in combat.
The storyline. I love it. Though some say it drones on and on, I say it adds new elements and twists enough to keep it interesting. You learn new things about characters and their pasts. And wat they are currently doing. It also changes. Often you have choices to go to different areas. Depending on which you choose, you can get different items/weapons, new characters (different ones depending where you go), and new storyline twists. Also, at least one character, when hes in you battalion, adds his two cents into his thoughts of whats going on. That makes the storyline extra clear and suspensful. Because of these bizzare twists of plots and the avalibility of different characters, I have played rthis game about 3 times through, and am still going.
The graphics. Good for N64. Though, do to the Gamecube, Xbox, and Ps2, they may seem absolite. Too bad because when I got it when it came out, they were considered spectacular, and I thought so too.... One thing I don't like about this game: The suspend data option. It saves your game temporarily, but when you play it again, its deleted, maning when you start playing again, if you get a game over, you have to start back at the last time you saved in the overworld "solid" save option. Pity, that could have helped me a lot if you could perform a "solid" save during a campain.....

I for one think this was a very good game. I will start with a few problems and go from there. The music is not exactly excellent but it provides an almost perfect mood. The only real problem is that the language is a bit unneeded.

Now for the good things. Some people say they want control in the battle but truly their is not much in the battle the player can not control. The best part of the game is creating, training, and organizing your army. The multiple endings make it so that if you compared your army to one of your friends' you would see many many variations. The reason for this is at the very beginning of the game you answer several questions, these answers change the starting units you have. The way it selects them is a very complex math problem that took me a day to figure out. The storyline itself is very hard to pull away from. what makes this even better is the multiple endings that make you wonder things like:"What if I had let Dio die?" The game has so much strategy in it, although at first the strategy is hidden, later in the game you see that the makers probably had a hard time deciding what genre to make it.

All in all this game is good for players who like creating their own forces, and also is good for people who like to get to know characters in stories. This game is practically a book inside a video game. I liked this game a lot and I hope that this review will help you decide whether or not to buy this game.

orge battle is a great rpg. I would recomened this game for people who like mages, orge, dragons, archers, anything mystical or forgetten about. This is a game about a guy named maximus {or whatever you change it to} who has just completed the traing to become an officer. The trainer gives you people to help save the empire. You go around to diffrent places to get expirence and up grade your solidgers to become any where from a black knight to a princess. Buy Sir mo3

This game is very good and I just got it from "Half.com".
It's fun switching units' soldiers with other units. And if anyone was wondering how to use armour and weapons and stuff you hit R (during amission)and go to the orginizing area and hit R again. Then you go to unit commands and will say "equip unit". Then you can take a look at your units. You can only do this when units are not dispatched. The worst part about this game is that when you load a saved game the gets erased until you save it again. I've had it freeze after loaded my game and then my data was gone and then it happened again! Whoever's idea that was not the brightest bulb in the box.

The Reason N64 Was Made

This is the sole reason for the N64. If you own a N64 and don't have this game then you might as well not have a N64.

This is a great game. I got it and played it for at least five hours in one long weekend. It is fun, has a good plot and requires strategy. I would buy this game.

Really Close To A Great Game

This game is frustrating, with great points and not so great points. What makes the flaws even more glaring is how they contrast to the better aspects of the game. A lot of time has been put into character management in this game, and this is by far the most involved and interesting element Ogre Battle has to offer. Creating and balancing your characters/units is both very complicated and intuitive. The problem arises when you get these great characters into actual combat. First of all, I would like to have direct control over the characters (like in a standard RPG), but putting that aside, I would at least like the units to follow the orders you CAN give them. You could order your entire group to attack the opponent's leader, and each of your five characters will end up attacking a different opponent. There is also no rhyme or reason to which targets they choose. Example: If there are two enemies - one with 100 hits points and one with 5 hit points - it is very possible that your group will ignore the weaker opponent and attack the stronger - then the battle will automatically end, and you'll end up losing (due to some totally unknown set of tie-breakers which the game uses, possibly tied to the phases of the moon.) This problem keeps the game from being truly great. So much detail and attention was given to the management aspect of the game, that it is a shame they didn't spend a little more time tweaking the battle engine. It is still worth a look if you are a Nintendo owner in desperate need of an RPG-ish fix.
