A side story to the original Ogre Battle, Zenobia no Ōji’s plot takes place during the fourteenth chapter (“The Capital of Milano”) of the original game.
Much like its predecessor, the game is a blend of traditional RPG and strategy gameplay. As the hero of the game, you lead a growing army of troops as you progress through the game in a series of pivotal battles. Before each battle you are given the option to setup your army into distinct groups. Then you are given a mission on the map and you can then set your army out to do your bidding. As your unit groups travel along the map on the way to their given objective, they’ll happen along enemy unit groups. When they meet, the game switches to an isometric view of the automated turn-based battle that ensues.
