Tactics Ogre: Reborn™ features improved graphics and sound, as well as updated game design, bringing to life a new Tactics Ogre that remains true to its roots. The crown jewel of the tactical role-playing genre, is reborn!
The Valerian Isles, jewels of the Obero Sea. Long a center of naval commerce, the people of the isles struggled throughout history for dominion over her shores.
Finally there rose a man to put an end to this conflict: Dorgalua Oberyth. But history would know him as the "Dynast-King." King Dorgalua strove to stamp out the hatred among the people of the isles, and for fully half a century, Valeria knew prosperity.
Yet upon the king's death, civil war erupted anew as three factions vied for control: the Bakram, who comprised much of Valeria's nobility; the Galgastani, whose people made up the majority of the isles' population; and the Walister, who numbered but few.
The isles were soon divided between the Bakram and Galgastani, and an uneasy peace settled across the land. Yet none believed the calm would last...

What makes it good comes down to how you extract enjoyment from a tactics game. The battling is enjoyable on a genre level - i.e., it is a tactics game where you fight people with other people and (although long) the fights are as enjoyable as many others in genre. The game also has a huge number of classes, alignments, items, etc. All combine to make the fighting deeper and more involved - if you want it to.
And it's the "if you want it to" bit that makes this game worth purchasing or not. If you are inclined to boot the game up, fumble your way through a few options, muster a force and throw it against an enemy then you'll enjoy the game for a time and then you'll start to wonder why everything has to take so damn long, eventually you'll realise that life is short and there are other games out there that need your attention - you may even decide going outside is better than slogging through another battle.
On the other hand, if you like tinkering, like learning systems intimately, discovering ways to extract minor advantage for maximal reward, then you'll see the lengthy battles as an excellent way of furthering your knowledge and exploiting your margins.
For £18, though, it's not too much of a cost to find out which side of that equation you fall.
