Ragnarok: Tactics is a tactical role-playing game developed by GungHo Online Entertainment and released in 2011 for the PlayStation Portable, functioning as a spin-off to the online RPG Ragnarok Online. The story is set on the Grantria Peninsula, a region caught between two major powers — the Branshaldo Empire and the Aura Republic — whose prolonged war has ended in a fragile ceasefire rather than genuine peace. This uneasy calm forms the backdrop for the protagonist's journey, which draws them into conflicts with rival factions and waves of monsters manipulated by mysterious figures, while also forcing a confrontation with their own inner darkness. The setting carries deeper historical weight through references to an ancient Holy War, during which humanity constructed a magical barrier to hold back both gods and demons. Gameplay blends strategic positioning and role-playing mechanics typical of the tactical RPG genre.
Many centuries after the legendary Holy War that forced humanity to erect a magical barrier to keep both gods and demons from overrunning their world, the Branshaldo Empire and the Aura Republic engaged in an extended war for control of the Grantria Peninsula. The conflict eventually ground to a halt and an uneasy truce was reached, as neither nation had the resources to continue fighting. Even so, the animosity between the two parties never faded, but smoldered beneath the surface, always threatening to explode into flames. In the resulting tenuous peace, the people of the peninsula began to resume their normal lives, always aware that the war could resume at any time. It was against this backdrop that the protagonist begins their fight against rival factions, hordes of ravening monsters controlled by enigmatic puppet masters, and even their own dark impulses...
