RECEPTION

While popular amongst reviewers and celebrated as one of the first and only RPGs of the Nintendo 64, Ogre Battle 64 was a commercial failure, partially due to the decreased number of copies shipped by Atlus. It received a 9.1 from Gamespot, an 8.8 from IGN and several reviews in that range from other sources.
