Ogre

Terribly buggy to the point of unplayable. Contact crashes, no workarounds because some of the crashes are core to the game play not related to graphics (there are exceptions in the logs showing things like references to objects that no longer exist). It's a shame as I was looking forward to trying it, but it's almost fraudulent how bad this is, completely unplayable game, should never have been released in this state and terrible they haven't fixed it in the years it has been available but are still selling it in this state.

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.

Since I love the GEV series of board games I was super-excited to buy this even with the relatively high price tag and mixed reviews. It's a great concept, but the game lacks full development. It's buggy - I haven't managed to get past the second scenario of the campaign because it keeps locking up when I finish off the last ogre. The relatively few built-in GEV scenarios seem to only give you a few options of mixes of forces and where they start rather than letting you pick your own armor units and place them wherever within the initial boundaries. Some units, like the light GEV and I think howitzers are missing. You can build your own scenarios, but you have to build the maps hex-by-hex; there does not seem to be a way to pull up the original GEV map or any of the sequels.

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!

A faithful computer version of the old wargame.
