Is it still worth playing?
Quest's 2001 tactical role playing game for the Game Boy Advance, the last game Quest made before Square acquired it, and a prequel to the rest of the Ogre Battle series. The story follows Lodis soldier Alphonse Loeher as he learns of his country's oppression of the neighboring land of Ovis. The game is mission based, with a field and class based combat system. You start with a meager army of six units, whose classes depend on questions you answer at the start, and it can grow to as many as 32. Each character is set by three stats, strength, intelligence and agility, plus an alignment from chaotic to lawful and an element. Only humans can change jobs freely, and undead units are made by casting a spell on fallen ones. Emblems earned for specific feats can alter stats and are needed for some classes. There is still plenty to plan with an army that grows from six units into dozens.
