The official adaptation of Steve Jackson Games’ legendary and multi-award winning war game, Ogre, is now available on PlayStation. Bursting with mechanized warfare, this turn-based strategy game demands a lot of tactical choices, and even more calculation. Based on the original board game created in 1977, this game takes you to another time.
Here are five explosive reasons why we think you’ll love it.
Hone your strategy
Strategy begins when you choose the units you want to be on your dream faction, where you want to place them, and what attacks are best suited for the war you’re in. You are then abandoning the success of these strategic choices to rolling the dice, and all you can do is sit back and watch your plan unfold before your eyes.
Set in the not-too-distant future
In a timeline not too different from our own, Ogre is set in the near future. Armed conflict occurs when a particular type of unit, the Ogre, instills fear in even its allies. Goblins are AI-controlled tanks, whose power is so great that they are comparable to the firepower of a battalion of tanks and infantry. Get ready to fully immerse yourself in this award-winning classic that has been revived for PlayStation.
As the player, you will command gliders, tanks, marines, infantry, and even the Goblins themselves as you engage in an endless world war. Strive for domination on the irradiation battlefields of the (not too distant) future.
Create your dream team
With two different factions to choose from; you’ll be able to play as either the North American Complex or the European Union, and then build your dream faction from there. You’ll be able to choose from Light Tanks, Super Waves and Rockets, GEVs (Ground Effects Vehicles), Infantry, Marines, Howitzers and Ogres (Mark I – Mark VI) to create another team each other every time you play.
If you want to keep improving yourself, you can keep perfecting the factions you build until you feel like you’ve figured out where the land is. And then, once you’ve found that perfect sweet spot, you can keep using the same team, keep using the same undefeated faction every time. Create your ultimate unit and use your own Trains and Command Posts.
Super replayable campaign
There are so many different ways to play Ogre, with lots of options to build your factions, different factions to choose from, and lots of scenarios to try out. The AI in Ogre will constantly surprise you, to the point where no two games are alike. There are also loads of different types of terrain, including bodies of water, for you to do your battles with. Incorporate terrain into your combat strategy, using defensive zones to shield your units from attack or bodies of water to deter enemies.
And of course, don’t forget all the trophies to win! Add all of this to be able to perfect your dream unit over and over again and you’ll be able to find new and exciting ways to play Ogre every time.
