'Ogre' Gets Release Date - Screens & Trailer

Ogre is a game of future tank warfare, in a hex/turn based adaptation of the classic board game.

Ogre is the official video game adaptation of the Ogre tabletop wargame from Steve Jackson Games.

Ogre is a tactical ground combat games set in the late 21st century. In 2085 A.D., armored warfare is faster and deadlier than ever. Hovercraft, tanks and infantry slug it out with tactical nukes. But the most feared weapon of all needs no human guidance. It's the giant cybernetic tank called the Ogre.

Ogre raised nearly a million dollars on Kickstarter for its giant Designer’s Edition, and one of the stretch-goal promises was “We will do a computer game.”

Here it comes.


Set in the near future, hovercraft, tanks, infantry, and giant cybernetic tanks called Ogres take part in a seemingly endless world war. You take command and vie for supremacy on the irradiated battlefields of The Last War.

Key Features:

  • Meticulously Crafted Adaptation of the Original Game: Ogre veterans will instantly be at home with this adaptation, while new players will find a deeply rewarding, turn-based strategy game.
  • Time-Tested, Compelling Gameplay: The Ogre tabletop game has withstood the test of time and captivated gamers for over forty years - this is the definitive digital edition.
  • Loads of Units and Factions to Choose From: Build out your faction with Light, Heavy, Superheavy, and Missile Tanks, G.E.V.s, Infantry, Marines, Howitzers, and Ogres (Mark I - Mark VI), while utilizing Trains and Command Posts as you see fit. Choose to play as either the North American Combine or the Paneuropean Federation.
  • Varied Maps Offer Strategic Decisions: Roll through many terrain types, across bodies of water, and make use of defensive areas to shield your units from attack.
  • Play Again and Again: Multiple game modes (including single player and multiplayer) plus achievements provide hundreds of hours of entertainment.

Ogre will be available as digital download through Steam, as part of the tabletop game’s 40th anniversary celebrations, on October 5, 2017.
