Square Enix has given us more information on their latest SRPG release Tactics Ogre Reborn, this time revealing more about the game’s warren report, enemy classes, and new locations to delve into.
This comes just as the game is about to launch on the 11th of November 2022.
The Warren Report
In Tactics Ogre: Reborn, the Warren Report chronicles your deeds in Valeria and contains profiles of characters you meet and news of what’s occurring throughout the land. It also has useful information about the game and how to play, all presented in a database format.
It’s more than just a database though. It also contains event scenes that can’t be found anywhere else, and reading the information in the Warren Report can even unlock new locations to visit.
Delving Into The Depths of Sidequests
Deep, rewarding gameplay is one of the highlights of the game. There are many locations of the main story path set aside exclusively for the sheer fun of battle.
Winning these battles can cause new stages to appear on the map, allowing you to delve even deeper into the challenge. Some of these paths can branch, and depending on which route you take, the enemies you face and the treasures that await will change. Gather riches to fill your coffers, collect materials to craft powerful items, and even recruit faeries, ghosts, and dragons into your party.
Some of these locations include:
Phorampa Wildwood: A vast forest with challenging terrain, known as a treacherous breeding ground for all manner of strange beasts. Enemies with classes otherwise unavailable in the early stages of the game can be found here, so it’s an ideal spot to track down new recruits for your forces.
Palace of The Dead: A daunting location filled with plenty of powerful enemies, and can be unlocked by meeting certain conditions. Bring a well-prepared party if you plan to reach the depths of the palace.
The Pirates Graveyard: Shipwrecks adrift on the ocean currents gather in this graveyard. Reports of ghosts and misshapen creatures pour in without end. Many pirates have entered the graveyard hoping to claim the treasures within, but none are known to have returned.
Relics
Among the equipment you’ll find in certain dungeons are new items called relics, which have different properties from normal items. You can combine relics with the same name in shops to upgrade various stats, such as attack type, element, and racial resistance. Stack the upgrades to help you take on even more powerful enemies.
New Classes
The developers have also given us a glimpse of some more classes available in the game. This time they focused on the more monstrous recruits you can fight with.
Skeleton: A skeletal warrior summoned from the world of darkness using necromancy. Able to wield a wide variety of weapons.
Ghost: An undead spirit with no physical form summoned from the world of darkness using necromancy.
Lich: mages from the world of darkness that have transcended death. They wield high-level magic and abilities.
Golem: These manmade monsters are constructed of materials such as clay and stone. Originally created as guardians, now they answer to no master.
Dragon: Girded with iron-hard scales, they scatter any who stand against them with mighty tails and fearsome breath.
Gryphon: Magical beasts with the body of a lion and the wings and head of an eagle. Since they soar high on the wind, rough terrain and elevation differences have no effect on them.
Tactics Ogre: Reborn will launch for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC via Steam.
