Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen

Ogre Battle is a tactical RPG where you command a rebel army trying to overthrow an occupying empire. You manage squads of units across large battlefields, positioning them on a strategic map before they engage in automated real-time skirmishes. Between fights, you recruit from hundreds of character types, equip weapons and magic items, and use Tarot cards that trigger special effects in combat. Your choices affect a reputation system that influences story branches and which endings you can reach. Unit composition matters—mixing classes like knights, wizards, and clerics changes how your squads perform. The campaign spans multiple territories you'll liberate one battle at a time. It's dense and menu-heavy, suited for players who enjoy army management over direct combat control.
