THERE are a dozen reasons to not recommend the original Tactics Ogre.
The name really does imply everything you need to know: it’s a tactical game, and it’s brutish in nature, evoking the high difficulty and permadeath of the early Fire Emblem games we never saw in the West.
The game doesn’t hold your hand much at all, assuming that you’ll either be delving into the in-game tips and tutorial menus or are well-versed in strategy RPGs.
If you haven’t been down this road once before, then you will be a fish out of water, as there’s not even a difficulty option here to ease you into things.
