Most importantly, the basic in-game task, moving party members around on the grid so they can attack or use their special abilities, feels satisfying. And it shows in features such as what is, effectively, an in-battle autosave a perspective that can switch from top-down to isometric and the ability to jump straight to important points in the game’s timeline during a replay instead of having to redo everything from scratch, all of which speak to thought and effort put into eliminating annoyances. It shows in the sweep of the game’s plot in the natural sound of its mock-Shakespearean localised dialogue in the lovingly written character profiles given to even spear carriers and in the fluff text accompanying every bit of terrain. It shows in the game’s beautiful character designs and in its soundtrack, performed by an orchestra even though players might only hear it through the tinny speakers of the PSP. Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, the 2011 PSP remake of the SNES/Playstation tactical RPG, is a labour of love, and it shows wherever you look. Check out my earlier impressions of the game’s character profiles four things it does better than FFT (and one it doesn’t) how I used different character classes in battle and an unfortunate mishap later in the game.
This is the fifth post in my series on Tactics Ogre.
