talk about ~Ogre Battle : March of the Black Queen~ Branches into 13 different endings





• 1993 real-time tactical RPG by Quest and the first Ogre Battle Saga entry (Chapter 5). It successfully blended RTS and RPG elements on the SNES.

• You lead the Liberation Army to overthrow the Zeteginean Empire, ruled by the corrupted Empress Endora and the dark mage Rashidi, to restore peace.

• Players customize the "Opinion Leader" protagonist. Key allies include Lans, Warren, and Canopus, who join you to reclaim the continent from tyranny.

• Organize up to 10 units with 5 members each. Movement on the map is real-time, while battles are automated based on formation and chosen tactics.

• The Chaos Frame system tracks popular support, while ALI/CHA stats affect class changes and endings, demanding strategic moral choices.

• Tarot Cards: Liberating towns grants Tarot cards, which can be used during battle for powerful magical effects or permanent stat boosts for units.

• Overseas, the title includes "The March of the Black Queen." The PS version by Atlus USA added mid-stage saves and adjusted text boxes.

• Highly praised for its orchestral score by Sakimoto/Iwata and deep strategy, though some found the Chaos Frame management overly strict and complex.

• Named after Queen songs, it influenced "Tactics Ogre" and "FF Tactics." Nintendo provided significant support to boost this new IP's success.
