About Ogre
"A crowd-pleaser for the long-time faithful" - Rock, Paper, Shotgun
"Words will not suffice when it comes to me describing how much I loved getting down and dirty playing Ogre" - Digitally Downloaded
"A faithful re-engineering of a venerable classic" - Gaming Nexus
"This is probably the cheapest, fastest way to get into playing Ogre right now" - PCGamesN
Ogre is a turn-based strategy game of mechanised warfare, requiring tactical decision-making and strategic thinking. It's the official video game adaptation of the legendary tabletop wargame from Steve Jackson Games, developed by the award-winning Auroch Digital.
In the warfare of the near future, one type of unit inspires such fear that even allies keep a safe distance: the Ogre. These AI-powered tanks are so powerful they're the equivalent of a battalion of tanks and infantry.
Hovercraft, tanks, marines, infantry, and the monstrous Ogres all take part in an endless world war. As a player, you take command and vie for supremacy on the irradiated battlefields of the future.

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.1 found this helpful
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
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.
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.
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.
