TGL

TGL at a Glance

If you are browsing PlayPile to learn about TGL, you will find a company that operated for twenty-three years before becoming part of Entergram in 2016. Their catalog on this site lists 20 games, with the studio acting as publisher on 16 of them and developer on 13. The majority of their work comes from the 1990s, where they released 11 titles. Production slowed significantly in the following two decades, dropping to just four games each in the 2000s and the 2010s. Their output effectively stopped after a release in March 2016 called Shirogane x Spirits. TGL focused heavily on Role-playing games with nine titles in that category, followed by eight Strategy games. They also published five Visual Novels and several smaller sub-genres like Turn-based strategy and Tactical games. Their platform reach was broad but specific to certain eras. Six of their games are on PC for Microsoft Windows, while four titles appear on PlayStation 4 and another four on PlayStation Vita. The older PC-9800 Series also has four entries. They released fewer games for handheld systems like the PlayStation Portable and various PlayStation consoles, with only one title each for Sega Saturn and PC-FX. The quality of their work varies across their history. Many of their recent releases from 2014 to 2016 are Visual Novels such as Shitsuji ga Aruji wo Erabu Toki and Renai Revenge. Earlier in the 2000s, they released Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku wo: Te no Hira no Rakuen in 2009. The data does not provide specific rating scores for these titles, so you will need to check individual game pages to see if their Strategy or RPG games received positive reception. Their transition from a collection of development resources into TGL Planning in 2003 and the subsequent merger with TGL Sales in 2016 marks the end of their independent operation. You can trace their history through these structural changes but should note that their total library remains small by industry standards.
