Decent price drop on a faily new release. Very niche game, one for those who liked Triangle Strategy. Not sure what is going on with those metacritic scores, it possibly got review bombed. Really looking forward to playing this one after watching a long time fan of the series absolutely gushing about the remake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvFNGt5lZ9Y

    Was hoping for Amazon AU to price-match the Switch Version, but they appear to be out of stock.

      Same thought, would have been a tough choice if both on sale at the same time.

    • sanepowers on 23/12/2022 - 17:13

      I think it's a good deal but unsure about future availability and pricing. I am not buying it but others will.

  • sin069 on 23/12/2022 - 11:36

    Tough game but when the battle is in your favour, it's very addicting.

  • aacob2 on 23/12/2022 - 11:43

    Really been enjoying this on the PS5! took a little to get into but once I did I've been hooked.

  • UsernameChecksIn on 23/12/2022 - 12:11

    A few negative reviews critical on a couple alterations and flaws while simultaneously lauding feature improvements

    Anticipating FFT remaster which was previously leaked to release before the Tactics Ogre remaster

    If only steam would price match

  • tajid on 23/12/2022 - 12:12

    Why the quick drop so quickly? Just because of Xmas?

    It's a great (difficult) game but one of the best TRPG ever released.

    • L45TPH45E on 23/12/2022 - 12:17

      i would think most people aren't into tactical rpgs and it wouldn't sell well in a physical store. I bought mine on steam.

      • tajid on 23/12/2022 - 12:18

        Triangle Strategy just sold 1m copy, decent enough I'd say.

        Fire Emblem sells really well generally as well.

        They (JB) buy the stocks because they think it'd sell?

          That's worldwide… and includes digital sales.

  • UsernameChecksIn on 23/12/2022 - 12:14

    Does this run better than Triangle Strategy on Switch?

    • tajid on 23/12/2022 - 12:18

      Depends what you mean by run better - visual wise TS is better with the 2D/3D graphic.

      • UsernameChecksIn on 23/12/2022 - 12:20

        Performance-wise

        Rather than a visualisation of someone running 🤣

        • UsernameChecksIn on 23/12/2022 - 12:22

          Reviews apparently see TO:R running at 60FPS on Switch - should be good then

          Some funny anecdotes of PS5 input lag…

          Would expect these classics [remastered] to run well. The ports for this seem to have not flopped!

        • wishcresp on 23/12/2022 - 12:36

          TS ran pretty well on Switch. It only reached 30fps unlike the steam version but there weren't really any major frame drops unless there were a lot of field tile effects which was pretty rare

  • octleons on 23/12/2022 - 12:22

    Seems like it's delivery only for the Switch version?

    • locosharko on 23/12/2022 - 13:24

      A couple stores in Tassie and one in NSW left for C&C is what I can see. Otherwise you'll have to pay the delivery fee, which is $2 untracked with AusPost for my postcode, which isn't too bad.

  • Synticulous on 23/12/2022 - 12:30

    Not review bombs, unfortunately they didn't get the pacing right and you will suffer the cruel mismatch in levels.

    Tactics ogre is not friendly to those expecting something like FFT or Fire Emblem (lunatics excluded).

    • wishcresp on 23/12/2022 - 12:40

      Good to know, just thought it was a little strange there were a lot of negative reviews and very few comments giving reasons. It does seem like an unforgiving game from what I've read.

      • tajid on 23/12/2022 - 12:55

        Lol yea a lot of game overs and you can't level up to counter that.

        I game overed against the final boss a few times and gave up but still enjoyed the game a lot.

        • DeToxin on 24/12/2022 - 19:25

          That's rough, so you didn't finish it?

          • tajid on 24/12/2022 - 23:16

            @DeToxin: Yes, not the very final boss. It was a 2 layered battle, beat the first one after dying a few times but found the second one too difficult and was too frustrated to keep trying.

    • realjw on 23/12/2022 - 13:19

      I played other SRPGs (FE, TS, Disgaea, Phantom Brave, Wild Arms etc), but can't seem to enjoy Tactics Ogre. I'm still playing the game cus I'm waiting for one point where it just would click or something. I honestly find the game a bit too easy at times and you're just going through with the motion. What bugs me the most is probably how slow the game is? There seem to not be enough damage (counter attacks are a joke, you get pincer attacks only occasionally) and too many heals that negate your damage in that game which really prolongs the fight and not the fun. On the flip side it's nice to be able to go in for once and not die instantly (i.e. you dont have to turtle strategy) I guess.

    • Erwark on 23/12/2022 - 13:33

      I'm loving the game, but the balance definitely feels unfinished. They made significant changes which improve some things but broke others.

      Bosses are particularly overtuned as they start heavily buffed. You can minimise this by lobbing some debuff items on them, but this feels restrictive.

      The level capping isn't too bad against regular enemies since in most cases you have more abilities and more augmented gear.

      Healing magic sucks badly to the point where you just won't bring a Cleric for a lot of fights. Items are way better and let you auto-restock character inventories after battles.

      Finally much of the armour resistance is bugged. Elemental resistance on gear doesn't work at the moment. Hopefully they patch this.

      On the other hand, you have lots of flexibility in team composition and even builds within the same class. Performance is (not surprisingly) solid AF and you can speed up opponents' turns. The voice acting is generally good and the original brilliant branching story is still there. A lot of love and a few mistakes make for an awesome if flawed game.

  • Wonderfool on 23/12/2022 - 13:25

    Is this just a remake of gba Tactics ogre on the new pixel art style?

        If amazon, you can return. JB? you may try. HN? Play 100 hrs so that you may get value out of it

    • Grale on 24/12/2022 - 11:37

      got it for $59 (with JB Perk) 2 weeks ago and they refunded me the difference today.
      only $20 though.. =(

      • wishcresp on 24/12/2022 - 12:18

        Unlucky. It was a game I was expecting to run out of stock long before it would go on sale, I picked it up with the $80 ebay voucher deal.

        • tajid on 24/12/2022 - 12:53

          but then other than Octopath, any Square Enix games that actually ran out of stock?

          • wishcresp on 24/12/2022 - 13:07

            @tajid: True, Square Enix games have had good availability on switch. Although during preorders, I had heard this was going to have a low distribution and some smaller retailers had their orders cancelled. Seems like EB and JB had plenty of stock though.

            Judging by how quickly this dropped in price, I doubt it sold very well so there might not be any reprints.

            • tajid on 24/12/2022 - 18:39

              @wishcresp: Yup I ordered via DX Collectables and was cancelled for the reason you stated and one of the games I preordered. It was relatively short so finished (ex final boss) and sold it lol but I can see why you would thought it'd be limited!

        • Grale on 26/12/2022 - 09:51

          i too bought it for this reason.
          Did not expect it to go on sale anytime soon and JB stores near me were running down their stock.
          Still, managed to get it for $39 so maybe others might have similar luck!

    I loved FFT. Love this type of game from SQE

      I loved the original FFT too, but I couldn't get into this. Felt very tedious in my experience. Hard to differentiate between enemies and your party. I had to rename all characters to something similar/generic to make it easier.

      Some of the bosses aren't tuned well and makes it a real grind to level up - currently up to chapter 3.

    Looks like it's sold out for Nintendo switch version.

  • wishcresp on 24/12/2022 - 12:15

    Switch and PS5 are now out of stock.

    EB has added it to their boxing day sale for $47 or $36 for preowned https://www.ebgames.com.au/search?q=Tactics+Ogre%3A+Reborn

    • Lucille Bluth on 24/12/2022 - 13:40

      Switch version still available in some stores e.g. Warringah Mall NSW, plus abundant stock of the PS4 versions.
