Ogre<\/a> <\/em><\/strong>is the official adaptation of the legendary and multi-award-winning wargame from Steve Jackson games, and it\u2019s coming to Xbox!<\/p>\n

Ogre<\/em><\/strong> is a turn-based strategy game full of mechanised warfare which requires tactical decision-making and lots of strategic thinking. Here are six reasons to play Ogre<\/em><\/strong> now that it\u2019s out on Xbox.<\/p>\n

Learn the World of Ogre<\/h2>\n

In the near future, there\u2019s a warfare where one type of unit inspires such fear that even allies keep a safe distance: the Ogre. AI-powered, cybernetic tanks, that are so powerful they are the equivalent of a battalion of tanks and infantry.<\/p>\n

Hovercrafts, tanks, marines, infantry, and the Ogres themselves, all take part in an endless world war. As the player, you\u2019ll take command and compete for dominance on the irradiated battlefields of the future.<\/p>\n
