- When it comes to the best RPG of 2024, Unicorn Overlord will be in the running, Strategy or not. It's a fantastic game that does the genre of TRPG and SRPG very proud against games like Fire Emblem (still waiting on that new Fire Emblem by the way), Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre and absolutely knocks it out of the park in many ways, so I tried it and here's my review / before you buy type video for it. Check it out.

![Unicorn Overlord - Review [Tactical Perfection!]](/img/tr.png)
As a note, while I hope for a PC Port, Vanillaware has a history of not releasing on PC. Game is available on PS4, PS5, Switch, and Xbox. Footage here is from the Switch Version.
just emulate it on Yuzu/Ryujinx and you get an upgraded switch version on PC, I'm playing it on Yuzu and it's absolutely flawless
oh crap, really? you should've said so from the start of the video. i almost wasted 30 minutes of my life on an unreleased game.
I played this game for almost 10 hours yesterday and had a blast. Really addictive.
i rarely skip battles tbh, just so i can look at the amazing art and animation quality. any berengaria enjoyers?
She’s a monster for beginning to mid. I ended up using his cousin, she’s has the strongest counter in the game.
Berengaria slays in multiple ways
@@quagsiiiiirrre7228 yessir
Pair her up with a dark knight if you use her limited skill, they would crush 😎🤙
I hate to give fame to anything named unicorn. But this game was simply amazing
Sure, I would like an in depth analysis of this game. It's unique enough to warrant one. Thanks
seconding this. although i probly wouldnt learn much as i already have 40 hours in this masterpiece 😂
As long as you go in order that the game clearly suggest you do. They stop you from over leveling by reducing exp gain to a super crawl when you 5 levels over the enemies. It makes it much easier to keep the whole army in sync. With making levels not super important really. Gear is the real difference maker and how you use it.
The way I have to retool and tinker with my squads with each new area and then also try to incorporate new characters with new skills into existing squads has just been a joy. I love this game.
What I will say is that normal difficulty falls into an issue of the player being able to blow through maps with a few units. I can already tell based on being at the end, that on expert, tailoring units for specific tasks is required. Especially if you want to go through any of the game's many progression skips.
Also, you are only told there are two routes, you can actually go to any of the continents and go through their main quests, and or start the final quest at the start. "Open-ended" is the perfect word for it.
There is no way you can complete the final quest without finishing at least 2 of the other areas. You can probably jump in around level 28-32 with no issues but you will need that stupid ring to survive.
@@herbertwilliams411 I was close to beat the final quest with lvl 10 characters, just that I wasn't able to beat the final boss but except that, I cleared entirely the map at this level so it's definitly doable. The ring is for a specific ending. If you don't have it, you will not need it, you will just unlock another ending.
Hey, you ended up making a video about it! I'm happy to see it.
It's just too good, people need to know. I'd have kicked myself if I'd missed this game.
@@Mugthiefsame man
Hello, are there little towns i can visit in the game or cities?
I’m having a blast with this game! Great video!
From your description with the units and members, it sounds reminiscent of Bahamut Lagoon on the Super Nintendo.
If Unicorn Overlord doesn’t sell a million copies there’s something wrong with the world.
This game is amazing in every way. Best game I’ve played in years.
I just bought the game on Amazon, for delivery to Bogotá / Colombia. Thanks a lot.
It's absolutely amazin, been lovin it! A perfect 10
I wasn't super into the game until I got like 9 hours in. Before then it wasn't super interesting but I kept coming back. Now I'm really having fun though. I'm about 18 hours in now trying to fully complete the first province.
Great gameplay. Very addicting/ addictive. 💯
Loved the video. Great analysis. Absokute banger of a game. L&S
I think the colosseum is an amazing demonstration of just how much the "battle preview" takes away from the battles. It's so fun rooting for you units to crit or evade and so on that is completely lost with the battle preview system.
Obviously you have MANY MANY battles per stage so it will be tedious watching every battle, and it will be tedious to have to closely examine enemy squads to see if you can beat them or not. But I wish they had a less "certain" preview, perhaps a system that just tells you "advantage/disadvantage". At the VERY LEAST they should've given us the option to turn off the preview. I'm sure this happened to everyone, you toggle on ranged assist and the preview changes to you doing LESS damage and taking MORE damage... this completely breaks immersion by essentially forcing you to do the less logical and less optimal choice just because the other choice rolled very well.
It honestly is just immersion breaking to have to "meta game" by changing tactics to look for your god RNG even though the tactics you choose make zero sense as an actual strategy
Super Robot Taisen only shows the probability to hit and or evade, doesnt show how much damage you'll do. The only real complaint I have with Unicorn Overlord is that they show you how much damage you'll do and how much damage you'll recieve. So it makes it very easy, even on expert mode its not a challenge.
Easily my goty. I'm quite confident that nothing else will come close to topping this in the coming 6 months.
It's my fav SRPG/TRPG of all time.
Sleeper hit? People have been anticipating this game since it was announced. Its Vanillaware! Nothing "sleeper" about it.
I''m still playing through it but this game has been wonderful.
Please do a full vid on this game once you complete it!
Game is super fun. Havent seen anything like it in a long time.
im at about 100 hours into the game and the game was amazing
50 hours in and only on the second continent LOL
holy shit man nice. im at about 40 hours rn and still taking drakengard 😂 im takin it slow and not trying to rush anything. this game is better the slower you take it i feel like
It needs NG+.
also, to anyone seeing this and thinking its a bit overwhelming, DONT WORRY. the game is incredibly intuitive and tutorializes you VERY well. the mechanical depth and synergies between units and characters are all very well explained by not only the tutorials but also the actual fights and gameplay. if you are on the fence about this one, just buy it already. this game could be 200 bucks and STILL be an absolute steal in terms of quality, content, and value. GOTY hands down.
I love the idea of tactical games. However, the tactical games that have been released in the past just were not doing it for me. Visually the gameplay looks interesting for me to actually try.. and I would say the way you explained it has peak my interest even more. Therefore, I will purchased it & Dragon’s Dogma 2. 🥳 I wonder which will occupy most of my time 😅
Oh yeah, the demo is fire and I'll probably buy the full game wants my demo runs out.
The game is amazing 🤩
You can definitely become over powered in the game, I beat it a day ago. I got to a point where I would rush the enemy commander to end the mission quicker. most of the characters become OP when you get their final skills but they are not all that way without having assist from another unit.
Demo didn’t do it for me, but I bought it anyway to let the game simmer. Glad I did, the game is great!
I play on Expert and I NEVER used 10 units. At most, I use 4 or 5 units.
I play on Expert and I'm already ranked S and have been in all continents.
Masutaapiisu!
Uh, I love Sanderson, he's probably my favorite living author, but describing "Game of Thones style political intrigue" as "that Sanderson vibe" sounds like something that only someone who has never read Sanderson would say. He sucks at political intrigue. Does the story have a complicated magic system, which, as you learn more about it, slowly unveils a hidden fundamental truth about the world in a twist that you feel like you should have seen coming, but never actually do?
Loved the vid! I'll definitely play this when its on pc!
It won't be haha
I get sad whenever someone mentions FFT. I wish for a remake so badly
For real. Get rid of ff16 and build a FFT
how's it a sleeper hit the game is the fastest selling Vanillaware game ever dude 🤣🤣🤣🤣
> Instantly beloved, many people playing the demo repeatedly to maximize the content they see in the available time and analyze the game
> "sleeper hit"
also NTR lovers. This game is for you. lmao
Special shoutout to MVC2 music 😊
Max unit list is 5 not 6
Game is worth buying a switch for 1000%
Not for me, here is the like and the comment. Keep making great videos.
Thanks, will do!
50 hours in and only on the second continent LOL
First OuO
Really is a sleeper. Put me to sleep watching the characters attack on their own.
Just skip the battles lol...
nah. lmfao
I feel like naming the game unicorn overlord was a mistake. Unicorn... Overlord... Like making a deep political Samurai strategy war game and calling it Fancy Pony Shogun.

How can it be sleeped on if ITS NOT ON PC. so sad
Slept on* man you PC elitists sure are smart. Lol
@@M2-mike tá, e tu sabe falar português pra se achar bonito no inglês perfeito? You prob just know english and feel smart about it. My point is still right anyway
dude,vanillware never realease there games on pc at all. only in consoles
@@MrGMottas your point makes no sense actually. I don't think you understand what "Slept on" means. It being on PC or not has nothing to do with it being slept on.
אני למעשה גם מדבר עברית אבל נסיון נחמד.
@@MrGMottascry kid, grow up. English is number 1 in the world 😂😂😂
Won't be interested until it's on PC
I am interested but I ain't gonna buy a Switch now.
@@zinv08it’s on Xbox ps4/ ps5
Try Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga.
still waiting on dragons crown outside of emulation.
Lol guess you won't be playing. Emulate it
