Tactics Ogre: Reborn features updated game design, fully-voiced cutscenes, improved graphics, and sound. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world and intrigue of Tactics Ogre like never before!

Tactics Ogre: Reborn is set in The Valerian Isles, jewels of the Obero Sea. Following many years of conflict, there finally rose a man to put an end to this: Dorgalua Oberyth. Known as the "Dynast-King,” he brought peace and prosperity to Valeria for half a century. After his death, a civil war erupts and throws the isles of Valeria into a bloody struggle for power between three warring factions. In Tactics Ogre: Reborn, players follow the story of a young man, Denam Pavel, caught in the center of the bloodshed. Although he seeks a path of freedom and justice, players will soon discover that even the noblest of goals requires impossibly difficult decisions to be made.

Reborn and deeper than ever, this classic tactical role-playing adventure enables players to fully immerse themselves in the world and intrigue of Tactics Ogre. In Tactics Ogre: Reborn, players will take control of a team of units on the battlefield and utilize the turn-based combat system to act strategically and gain the upper hand over their enemy. As players progress, they can recruit additional party members, experiment with various classes, weapons, magic and abilities, and make key decisions at several instances in the story that will ultimately impact how events unfold.

In this age of conflict, which path will you choose?

There are a multitude of reasons that Tactics Ogre is considered a crown jewel of tactical RPGs. There is, of course, the intensely strategic combat, the branching narrative, the evocative art design and amazing music to name but a few.

There’s also the impressive world-building and unforgettable characters - a richly drawn group of personalities who add depth to this amazing world.

Previously, we showed you some of the cast, including protagonist Denam Pavel. Today, we’ll introduce a few more - and also showcase some of the classes you can command in battles!

• Xenobian, 63 years old, born on the 19th of Flamescale.

• Xenobian, 48 years old, born on the 5th of Darkscale.

One of the winged folk, from the city of Peshaval in Charlom, Canopus once captained the Beast Legion of the Kingdom of New Xenobia. Like Lanselot, he was banished from Xenobia for misconduct.

• Xenobian, 32 years old, born on the 4th of Firescale.

Born in the Hyland city of Xandu, Gildas once served with the Holy Knights of the Kingdom of New Xenobia.

Lanselot is high champion of the Dark Knights Loslorien. He was sent to Valeria when a secret treaty was forged between the Holy Lodissian Empire and the Bakram leader Brantyn Morne.

Balxephon V. Rahms

“The whelp has grown. Let's see how much!”

• Lodissian, 40 years old.

Balxephon V. Rahms is second-in-command of the Dark Knights Loslorien, hailing from Galius, seat of the Holy Lodissian Empire.

He is the son of Stratarchis Vogras, who commanded five of the orders of knighthood in Lodis. Loslorien enjoys independence from the Senate thanks to the influence of Vogras.

Volaq Windsalf

“Do you not trust us, Lord Regent? That would be most unfortunate.”

• 35 years old.

Volaq is a Loslorien commander, and member of their most elite strike force. Little is known of his past, or how he came to join the Dark Knights. His loyalty to Lodis is unquestionable, and he has earned a great deal of respect from those serving under him.

• Lodissian, 34 years old, born on the 17th of Blackscale.

Barbas is a Loslorien commander hailing from Bomouth on the borderlands of Lodis, and member of their most elite strike force.

He is a giant of a man, and the most bloodthirsty of the seven Loslorien commanders. He was put on trial for beating a superior to death but was saved from execution by Lanselot Tartaros.

Oz Moh Glacius

After serving as commander of three regiments of the Ganan Division for a number of years, he was assigned to the Dark Knights. His sadistic nature is evident in his actions on the field of battle and in his questioning of prisoners.

Ozma Moh Glacius

“Brute force, is that all you understand? Perhaps it's time I versed you in the higher arts.”

• Lodissian, 27 years old, born on the 1st of Shadowscale.

A Loslorien commander from Galius, seat of the Holy Lodissian Empire, Ozma is of the noble House Glacius - renowned for their founding role in the Galius Guild of Magi, ministers of magic in Lodis.

Classes

In battle, you’ll command a wide variety of units of different classes, each with their own abilities. Here’s a look at some of the classes in the game:

• Warrior: Warriors are mainstay melee fighters, adept with a wide variety of weapons - Jack-of-all-trades, master of none. Warriors are by no means flashy but can equip a wide range of weapons and armor, playing an active role on the front lines in the early game.
• Archer: Archers are ranged attackers adept with a bow and arrow, and capable of taking down enemies from a distance. Archers use bows and crossbows to chip away at enemy health from the high ground. They’re an indispensable support class on the battlefield.
• Wizard: Wizards are a back-line support class that wields a wide variety of magic, from offensive damage spells to debuffs. Wizards play a vital role in the early game, showing their true worth in the hardest-fought battles.
• Cleric: This is a back-line support class that mainly cast spells to restore HP and cure various ailments. Clerics are mainstay healers who remain indispensable to the battle party even into the late game.
• Rune Fencer / Valkyrie: This well-rounded caster of attack and healing spells is also adept at sword and spearplay. It’s a balanced class can attack aggressively in the front lines or support with spells from the rear.
• Knight: An excellent frontline class that uses its high defense and a smattering of healing spells to protect the battle party. Knights are indispensable units that serve as a bulwark against the enemy’s advance.
• Berserker: Entirely unconcerned with their own safety, berserkers charge into the front lines to assail their enemies with weapons bared. Berserkers boast devastating attacks, making them a valuable part of the battle party. However, they themselves have relatively weak defenses and are easily damaged.
• Terror Knight: The howls of tormented spirits can be heard with every step of the terror knight's boots. This class is skilled in weakening enemy attacks and defense. Like the knight, terror knights take advantage of their high defensive capabilities to shield the battle party while engaging the enemy on the front lines.
• Ninja / Kunoichi: This nimble class utilizes its mobility to quickly deploy its power wherever needed, whether on the front lines or in the rear. Men are called ninja, while women are called kunoichi.The ninjutsu spells they wield manipulate various spirits to unleash punishing attacks on even distant enemies
