I like to think of Ogre Battle as the Warcraft of SNES. It's an awesome strategy game that includes all of the elements of great real time strategy (commanding units, getting resources, character progression... ect.). In fact, I think Orge Battle does a better job with character progression then most modern RTS games. Your squads have names and all of the units in each squad are capable of gaining levels and changing classes. Ogre Battle is great.

Graphics: (8/10) Though Ogre Battle is a high quality game, the graphics leave a little to be desired. Most of the game is played from a view that looks like the map from The Legend of Zelda. But the upclose battle scenes look great!

Sound: (7/10) The sound is good. There's good music playing from the map screen that really sets the mood. During battle scenes you get ot hear all the action as well as a "death groan" when a unit is killed. Good stuff.

Fun: (9/10) Oh yeah! Ogre Battle is one of my old favorites. I used to rent it for a dollar every weekend and hope my save spots were still on it. I've never been able to beat this game, but I'm still trying. I just love the combat! It really cool because you don't directly control the character's actions (like you would in an rpg). Instead you give broad commands (like "attack the leader") and use tarrot cards to effect things, and pretty much watch the battle unfold. It's really fun and the battle graphics are good.

Creativity: (8/10) There aren't a whole lot of strategy games for SNES, and I think this is because it's difficult to design strategy games with the limitations of the SNES. So I'm giving a high score to Orge Battle's success in designing a great game for a difficult genre (for the system). This is good stuff.

Multi-Player: Wouldn't that be nice.

Tips and Cheats: Um, I can't find a good link. Who cares anyway, half the fun in Ogre Battle is making up your own strategies. Just play it!

Errors: Smooth Sailing.
