Finished the demo last night, absolutely loved it. I’m not crazy about the character design, but the combat was a blast, and exploring the environments and puzzles was good fun too. Music was fantastic as well; as expected, the whole thing has Chrono Trigger vibes which is just lovely. Ended with a really engaging boss fight. I am 100% sold! 👍🏼
Looks fun, but not a fan of the style at all. Every environment looks lifted from a Castlevania game. And those cartoon portraits and life bars, yuck! Gameplay looks great though…
Really enjoying Tactics Ogre so far. The battles can occasionally drag on, and I don’t love the group level cap, but it’s a fantastic game still, and really scratches that FF Tactics itch that’s been raging for so, so long. Recommended 👍🏼
Pre-ordered! I feel happy supporting Square-Enix by paying full price for this one, as this is obviously one for the old-school fans, and they clearly worked hard on this remaster.
Now we just need Vagrant Story and Xenogears! C’mon, SE!
Introducing the new Split Pad Fit, with none of the missing features that you wanted and a new slimmer profile that is guaranteed to make your hands hurt again, negating the whole reason for buying it! Enjoy!
Cool; hopefully Limited Run Games will actually ship my orders now. Almost 8 months since I started ordering from them and I’ve received literally NOTHING. Shady af
Yeah baby, sold!! FF Tactics is one of my favorite games of all time; I was never able to play Tactics Ogre, so this is an absolute dream to see this coming remastered to Switch. Bring it on!
I could see a Metroid adaptation looking more like Samurai Jack; lots of lonely and isolated exploration (i.e., a stranger in a strange land) mixed with insane combat scenes.
At least one of the Alpha games should have made it into Fighting Collection; feel a bit burned there, considering there are 3 in this digital collection. So Mega Man and Alpha for me only, thanks…
Great review! Been debating this one on PS for a while but never pulled the trigger. I certainly won’t be buying it on Switch, with all of the performance issues and long load times. Thanks for the honest review!
This is a guaranteed smash hit. The Messenger is such a fantastic game, and this is looking like the same super-high level of quality and respect for the genre. This is absolutely going to be an iconic RPG!!
