What did you expect it to look like? What part looks "bad" to you?

It's a digital adaptation of a 1977 board game. Had you read the store page instead of rushing over here to post you would know that.

As the fine folks above have said, this is a faithful recreation of http://www.sjgames.com/ogre/. We wanted to create an aesthetic that recreated the familiar feel of the game for fans of the original game and subsequent editions over the years.

If you were expecting something else when the game was announced, I do apologise for any disappointment.

Thanks for the feedback.

I want 3D OGRE with manual aiming!!

Actually I think the game looks great since it is based on a board game. Thank you for developing it.

Agreed the game looks gorgeously delicious for us tabletop wargamers.

As for manual aiming from playing the excellent detailed tutorial you can manually target each of your OGRE weapons at individual enemy weapon systems thus slowly sadistically tear them apart.

Vague troll comments aren't going to help the developers understand what you don't like and even <gasp> fix it. Be helpful and describe what actually bothers you; they welcome constructive feedback.

I am not going to validate the op's comment. I love Ogre. Got in on the designer edition and got all the bells and whistles. Loved putting it together and loved playing it. Was a good value. Like. if i wanted to play a 'faithful' recreation of the boardgame I would get the original abandonware one Origin did way back in the day and play that. The Ogre universe is fantastic. No reason you couldn't have stayed turn based and given us a graphics engine. It may play well. And that can be a thing. But am giving this a pass, sadly. Make it pretty with destructable environs. You don't have to deviate from the game mechanics. For thirty bucks I am just not there on this. Sorry. Expected much more production value for a board game that used to be prominently featured in magazines like Dragon and Strategy Gamer.

How 'bout a global campaign DLC? You could have regular armiy's of conventional units and "shock" army's of conventional units AND cybertanks! :steamhappy:

I think it looks great. I wanted a digital re-creation of the board game, and I got it.

Yes beautifully so.

Looks beautiful to me. I was expecting a faithful recreation of the boardgame and that's exactly what I got. Scroll zooming and mouse panning make skimming the battlefield a breeze. The ability to rotate is a nice little bonus I didn't foresee.

What I'm looking forward to in a possible expansion is a unit editor. We've already got a map/scenario editor here at launch. Would love to be able to use Henry Cobb's formula to dream up new units and put them in OGRE PC for custom games.

But I'm drifting off-topic. OGRE looks exactly what I anticipated it would look like. And it plays just like the board game, only in glorious full color. What more can you ask for?

Also, when infantry die, they sound like hamsters squealing. Appropriate, I suppose, when they are being killed by the Ogre...
