Ogre Battle: The March Of The Black Queen is a 1993 strategy game for the Super Nintendo platform. Players command a group of rebels attempting to overthrow a corrupt empire by capturing territories and managing units across a large map. The main objective revolves around strategic troop deployment and resource management to progress through a branching storyline influenced by the player's choices.
The game operates at a deliberate pace, requiring careful planning before each battle. Unlike typical turn-based strategy titles, it features real-time tactical combat where unit positioning and timing are crucial. A distinctive mechanic is the unit class system, where characters can evolve into various classes depending on their actions and experience, adding depth to army customization.
One unusual idea in Ogre Battle is its morality system that affects how the story unfolds and which characters join the player’s army. The mixture of real-time strategy elements with RPG character progression creates a unique gameplay experience, setting it apart from standard strategy games of its era.
