I replayed it recently on an emulator and it really holds up, the only other person I know that played it played it with me as kids. Unicorn Overlord caught my eye recently and looks really similar, I’m pretty excited about playing it
Oh yeah, I'm playing Unicorn Overlord right now! It scratches that same itch, and I've really been enjoying it. It's a little easier than I'd like, so you can pretty comfortably crank up the difficulty to the highest setting for a decent challenge.
If you like this genre (whatever it would be called), you might also like Symphony of War on PC. I played it a couple of years ago, and it's really good. It was the first game I'd played like Ogre Battle 64 since I was a kid.
