Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen

On the world map, the player moves several squads in real time to capture bases, liberate towns, and advance the campaign. Each squad contains multiple characters, and battles resolve automatically in a turn-based style once opposing forces meet. Formation, class mix, alignment, and morale all affect the outcome. Between stages, players recruit units, promote classes, and manage resources. Route choices, liberation order, and hidden conditions can influence regional reputation and the ending.

Dantalion

The rebellion's protagonist who leads the uprising against the empire.

Oberon

A key story figure tied to the conflict between the rebellion and mysterious powers.

Cassandra

An important supporting character who provides guidance in the story.

Gilgamesh

A major imperial antagonist representing the empire's military power.

Keep squads mobile and avoid funneling every force down a single path. Capturing towns quickly raises regional reputation, so lead with faster units and let heavier squads follow. Build balanced parties with melee, ranged, and magic coverage, and pay attention to air units and anti-air options. Before battle, pair classes that complement one another; healing and control abilities greatly improve survival. For better endings, watch liberation order, alignment, and major story choices.

Tips and tricks

• Use fast squads to secure towns before the enemy can regroup.
• Unit composition matters more than raw level alone.
• Spread your forces to cut off reinforcements and supply routes.
