Tactics Ogre The Knight Of Lodis [Nintendo Game Boy Advance, 2002]

The Tactics Ogre franchise debuts on the Game Boy Advance with the side-story Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis, a strategy RPG. As Alphonse, a member of the Order of the Secret Flame, your task is to investigate the strange happenings on Ovis, an island that has been under the rule of the Holy Lodis Empire for the last 15 years. Your assignment serves as a mere precursor of things to come, however. When an enemy is encountered on the World Map, a battle is initiated. Battles are turn-based and take place in multi-leveled 3D fields. Position on the battlefield, terrain, elevation and weapon and element alignment all come into play during the course of a skirmish. Weather, too, plays an important role in battle. For example, a sudden deluge can cause water levels to rise, affecting the lower areas of the battlefield.
