Ogre

I played the original tabletop game once or twice in high school. I even had the first computer version on my Tandy 1000SX back in the late 80's. I barely remember it, but it was maybe monocolor, or maybe 4 color at best. Now we get it in FULL HD with great graphics, sound, and animation. I've only played it for 3 hours, but I'm already loving it. Despite the fact it just seized up on me as I was playing the first scenario. I won't hold this against it. I will probably update again in the future.*****ADDITIONAL: I've got an additional nine hours in the game. I've completed 5 of the scenarios in the NIGHTFALL campaign and I can honestly say that this game is a bit BUGGY!!! It's really unacceptable for a game that's been out for 8 years. It will lock up when I'm trying to move my units and exit to desktop. In the 6th scenario it's ZOOMED in during the enemy fire phase and refused to zoom back out. It's done this twice. The only way out is to save the game, exit, and reload the save. I just got a single MISSILE TANK overrun by a MARK III OGRE and after it fired its weapons at my MT it performed a RAM (I guess. Suddenly there was a STACK marker big as the screen on top of another marker, so I guess he was on top of my MT). Then the game seized up and wouldn't exit the OVERRUN. I did everything I could. It was stuck on his turn. So.. I can't give it a 10/10. But I can give it a 5/10. This is due strictly to the bugginess. If they ever get it fixed I can give it a higher rating.

Let me say right off, if I had my preference I would neither give this game thumbs up nor a thumbs down. Since I must choose, I'm going with thumbs up. You can play a very basic game of ogre. Army vs. a Mark III or Mark V ogre is okay. Playing GEV is a rather iffy proposition. Loading a saved game is rather iffy. Making a custom scenario is rather iffy. You cannot make a command post target in a custom game. But it will do plain vanilla games of Ogre just fine. Given the state of the game it really ought to be 'Early Access.' I hope they keep trying. For now I'm going to hold off on other purchases and see how this game plays out. I've seen games start weak and evolve into heavy hitters.

I love this game but y'all gotta fix it so it doesn't crash every game. Have not been able to even finish the starting campaign's FIRST game.

it's OGRE......... you wouldn't be playing, reading, watching or building a rogue AI battle tank of immense size if this wasn't made. I bought the original bagged with paper map and chits with my vacation money at a small gift/gas station in New Braunfels in 1981 or so. I didn't know anything about it except it was a game in a baggy hanging on a rack. I think I had not played D&D yet, or Starfleet Battles. NOW MAKE A PROPER "CAR WARS" AKA "AUTODUEL" FOR PC>>>> I BOUGHT THE ATARI ST VERSION AND WAS SO WANTING THAT TO WORK. I PLAYED IT UNTIL THE FLOPPY GOTA SCRATCH ON IT AND IT WOULD START SKIPPING WHEN INSTALLING

very cool game about a tank that's built like an onion uplifting and motivational coming of age story of a tank

Great classic game.

The game is very buggy. frequent crashes and broken victory conditions in the campaign will stop you prgressing. Its a fun hotseat boardgame but only buy if its less than $5

Enjoyable digital remake of Ogre, which I have played for close to 40 years - I believe it was around 1979 that I bought my first pocket Ogre. Since then, I have acquired several versions of the board game, as well as the newer plastic miniatures. But, this digital version makes it easier to play when you don't have the time or patience to lay out the board and pieces. I do enjoy the Auroch game on PC and XBox, although there are still some bugs wandering around. Version I have is 1.6.20.0, and it still has the Scenario 6 bug where MKV Ogre causes the game to hang when it tries to overrun infantry. Odd, as it was mentioned in several Reddit posts from several years ago. Otherwise, it is fun, especially when you can trounce the Ogre!

Bones are good...had fun for a little bit. Unfortunately I have fallen victim to bugs in the game as well. Mission 3 of the single player campaign hangs on me during the player movement phase. This being a 9 year old game I don't have much hope any issues will be resolved at this point and being an older fella with a kid I don't have a tremendous amount of time finding or researching work arounds. Shelving this one.

Has a nostalgic feel, but challenging to play.
