I love Tactical RPGs and this might be my new favorite ever after laying the Demo. I loved FFT and FE:Awakening, but this is next level for me. It feels like Ogre Battle, but 100000x better
This is already released in the east asia and australia regions as of this writing. Gotta say I love the full game and trying different class combinations.
Fell in love with the game the first hour in and I can’t put it down. It’s an insanely fun and deep game. Everytime I feel like I hit the peak it just keeps introducing new things and opening up more, absolutely one of my favorite games ever now
I loved 13 Sentinels and Dragon's Crown. Truly amazing and will always be hidden gems that I pray more people discover by them making it to more platforms. Odin Sphere I liked overall and loved some of the time, but the retreading areas got a little old. Muramasa I need to return to but I did enjoy my brief time with it. Grim Grimoire was a bit weird and is definitely my least favorite of theirs so far. Still have to support them for the great art and always trying something a little new. Please do your part and buy this game! Atlus needs to go back to their days of publishing loads of quality Japanese games and Vanillaware deserves so much more success
I strongly recommend people to read the review this video is based upon, because their key points are: Good music, good art Forgettable characters to fill your team Forgettable main story with same medieval topics as always Gameplay is good but you have to read, equip, compare and test a lot. So the actual victory is more determined before playing and not during it as long as you can adapt a little For youngsters is FireEmblem but having to make teams with the units beforehand and setting activation requirements for skills
Okay so I have played some games that have tactical missions like this inside but NOT actually experienced playing a full tactical RPG games myself. Only aware of some titles with such mechanics. I've watched a couple of demo and gameplay videos and rather interested to give it a try since I do love strategizing and planning-ahead kind of games if it's not too complex as long as I can enjoy the story as I play it through. Is it a good place to start?
If you’re concerned that this won’t have enough content, you can sleep easy. It’s packed with content. Main story with no side quests takes 50 hours, and doubles if you do most side quests. Not sure about endgame specifics, but an online mode has been rumored.
ok despite the title a very critical review.. yes I had the impression too, while playing the demo, this wouldn't be in the top 3 vanilla ware games of all time with muramasa or 13 sentinels. Waiting for the collectors edition tho as it also sports a complete and functional card game apparently ;)
Sad that the narrative is subpar. Was really looking forward to this one being the first vanilla ware game on Xbox. I will be better off waiting for potential ports of their other games.
@@DoodlePrince true but if u look back - in the pre 13 sentinels era - vanilla ware games were not great in terms of narrative let's be honest ;) Then this one reminds me of Grand Knight Kingdom in a way (the second incarnation of Grand Knights Hystory made by previous Vanillaware employees) and that is a looker just like this one.. a very interesting strategy game but in terms of story also just serviceable. If u find it for cheap and u don't have it yet definitely get it ..even tho I am not sure there's an xbox version actually.. vita and ps4 versions for sure but xbox... anyway this comes to xbox because it is published by Atlus and after the success of persona 5 they understood cross platform is a thing ;)
Yeah, it was a pleasant surprise. I loved persona 4 golden and managed to play a bit of 13 sentinels with someone. Presentation is always a given, but at this stage, it's hard for me to justify a full-priced purchase with potentially 100+ hours of gameplay if the game has nothing to say or is at the very least intriguing. Might have to settle eventually, because I don't think any other of their games are coming to xbox.
@@DoodlePrince yes I totally get it… the price will drop. I only got it because I have all vanilla ware Ltd editions so I wanted this one too otherwise there is far too much coming out right now i won’t have time to play it. End of the month on playstation we have rise of the ronin 4 example and that’s another 100 hours I mean my time is limited ;) If it wasn’t for the collection I would also wait.
I really want to love this game, everything screams of all my favorite games like FFTactics and FFXII, but the autobattle system is really killing the fun for me. Ashame because everything is really solid. Can someone tell me what i'm missing? I want to like this.
It’s less of an “auto battle” than FF12 was, imo. If you enjoyed setting up gambits in FF12 (which it sounds like maybe you didn’t) this is very similar. The auto-battle aspect is only for the “micro” (I.e. actual engagements between units), you still have plenty of macro decisions to make on the battlefield.
@DietersYT I at least got to choose what spells and abilities my characters do during battle in FFXII. Gambits didn't do it all, at least not for me. The only thing that was really "auto" was your basic attack. So far I've only been walking up to enemies and moving character formations around so they don't get hit with piercing attacks from spears. I don't feel like I'm being engaged enough. 😕
I suggest reading the article, we had to make the narrative for video shorter to keep the video shorter, but you can read the full review here: noisypixel.net/unicorn-overlord-review/
You should be fine. These games are great, but they’re typically not huge sellers (especially new IP like this), and lots of people buy digitally nowadays anyways.
I don't understand why it doesn't have a PC port when this is the first Vanillaware game to be ported to an Xbox console. I understand that Vanillaware may not have the resources internally for a PC port but I don't understand why they couldn't outsource it in the same way that, for example, PC ports of Nihon Falcom games get outsourced to PH3 Games. In fact given that they thus far developed almost entirely for Nintendo and Sony consoles it's likely that the Xbox Series port was outsourced.
They ran out of money making this game, they legit have nothing left anymore for a PC port. If this game flops, they are gonna be forced to sell the company or shut it down if nobody buys.
@@Vyyc-m9g I wasn't aware of that which makes sense as this (edit: to clear up any misunderstanding I mean information about Vanillaware running out of money, not the game) was revealed effectively today. Hopefully the game does well enough for them to consider a PC port. The PC market is in need of quality tactics RPGs so it would an almost guaranteed return on investment.
@@Akanezulian1 I'm not sure if you saw the news but Nintendo took down Yuzu. You can download the last version that was published however there is no guarantee that new games will work on it. Putting that (and the existence of other Switch emulators) aside having to dump a Switch version and emulating it isn't a replacement for a proper PC port especially since Switch games tend to ship with lower resolution assets to save on space and because the Switch doesn't support resolutions above 1080p.

Didn't you take copyright for the game's soundtrack?
There was barely any footage of the battles. You show your character targeting the enemy multiple times but don't show them actually fighting apart from 5 seconds towards the end.
huh. theres... so much conflicting stuff here. to the people who like Ogre Battle, this is great. to those who dont care about mechanics, i can see why.
I read most of the comments here and god damn, are there a lot of whiny neckbeard commenters. Thanks for the review my man, but I don't envy you when it comes to being called out for pettiest shit imaginable.
When people mispronounce words like this is because they learned it from reading. I don't let it bother me, but it did jump out at me. The review was well written overall.
Im just abit scared of an extreme high difficulty spike during end game on expert. When you face Galerius in the dark castle and some of your characters work against you since they have been working as a spy for Galerius the whole game. Oh, and your favorite characters cant be used because of some magic barrier/kidnapped. And Galerius attacking with all his OP units everywhere. And only a few rpg pros can beat the game. 😁
At this level, if the game doesn't successfully marry story/themes/narrative with gameplay, what the game has to say is honestly far more important than the gameplay for me. Unless the mechanics are super innovative, if the game has nothing interesting to say, the writting is weak, or falls flat narrative wise, it's not going to be worthwhile spending all of those hours into the game just for the sake of playing. I'm kind of sad since I was really looking forward to this game, and seeing what they did with 13 sentinels, but it may not cut it for me; thank you for your review - the narrative was what I was most worried for, and seeing it doesn't deliver in that front, I'll be able to save my money and spend it on something else. Thank you.
That's why review scores are counterproductive. It's attributing an objective value to a subjective opinion so everyone's scale is different and you can get vastly different scores depending on the reviewer.
I’m getting Fire Emblem vibes but something seems a bit off in my opinion. Maybe I should play the demo to get more hands on experience. Thank you for your time and your review!
@@DoodlePrince That's debatable. I would argue that we need more quality tactical RPGs on PC. Also this game is very similar gameplay wise to the Ogre Battle games which are a mix between a TRPG and an RTS and I don't know of a single game like that on PC (though I would like to be proven wrong). At the end of the day even if a similar game to Unicorn Overlord existed on PC it would still be a different game. Outside of sports games there aren't many cases of one game being able to truly "replace" another.
@mountainmgtow5421 could be, I've yet to play it. I just get sick of ppl calling tactics ogre and FFT a "strategy rpg", when they're both, in fact, tactical rpg. Them they ask "what's the difference?", well get a dictionary, and you'll see. Ya know?
@@FredHerbert999 Yup. The games have TACTICS in the name, you'd think they'd clue in. Ogre Battle is a strategy game though. That's why the names have the naming distinctions that they do.
I find it hard to care about anything happening in the game due to the characters and story all being very generic and forgettable. I've played for 8 hours and couldn't even tell you the name of 1 character. The combat is good and enjoyable.
Vanillaware CEO even used up his own savings to get the game out, the company has not enough money and manpower to port it to PC. If the game sells well enough then it might happen though very little chance as Vanillaware games are known to stay on consoles.
Fire Emblem Engage from 2023 is LEAGUES ahead of this game. And I am saying while fully acknowledging that Fire Emblem Engage had a fair share of problems
Apparently the localization is pretty bad. It's not woke, but they basically shakespeared the script and extended it by 50%. In the process it changed or over-exaugurated some of the characters personalities. Disappointing to see.
yea this whole voice over a written review is kinda weird, their reviews used to be very real and raw, and it seems like theyve gone the way of ign and lost their genuine thoughts of games and reviews and have relegated them to reading a pre written review "script" pretty sad as this channel used to be my GO TO for a real, honest, and non sponsored review team, but looks like theyve sold out as well.
very small company and they don't exactly sell millions like other top dog devs like Squeenix to warrant spending for a PC port that may or may not even sell as well. they cater to a niche market.
I mean, Bailey played it, you can read the review here: noisypixel.net/unicorn-overlord-review/ Say what you want about my bad reading, but don’t you dare accuse us of not putting in the work needed to create a proper review. I don’t appreciate it. - Azario
remember the game's localization is terrible and is a big reason the narrative sucks really its a skip if u don't know JP language its just butchered biggest example is the style of speech, the characters speak normally not "old english" style
Yeah, as I stated in my comment, if the game has nothing to say, has sharp writting, or at the very least is interesting with its theames, then I don't find much of a reason to spen 60 dollars and play this game for a ton of hours. Rather disappointed.
These people are obsessed with narrative and characters in strategy/tactical games is because the relationship mechanics are their sole source of romance. They have little relationship experience with actual women, so they seek parasocial relationships with a video game character, or 'waifu'. This is why 20+ year-old men fawn over characters and plot lines written at a 6th grade reading level.
Of course they're "bad" - they're written for teenagers. Video games use simple plot lines and A-to-B dialog intentionally. Try books, movies and plays if you want good stories with well written characters. Your complaint is like saying, "fast food tastes bad."
It wasn’t an advance at you. I was just curious if you had the spine to address me directly, and I see you don’t, so have fun interacting with my content. - Azario

If the game sells well enough then it might happen though very little chance as Vanillaware games are known to stay on consoles.
This game hate white straight males?
Copped the special Edition... Won't be opening it, thus won't be playing this. It won't see the light of day.
Are you saving it for someone else to enjoy later?
tanx 4 the rev
Fire Emblem Engage from 2023 is LEAGUES ahead of this game. And I am saying while fully acknowledging that Fire Emblem Engage had a fair share of problems
Honestly, Wargroove is probably better than this.
Gameplay of FE engage is better. But not the artstyle and story... Engage is fun but mega cringe
Apparently the localization is pretty bad. It's not woke, but they basically shakespeared the script and extended it by 50%. In the process it changed or over-exaugurated some of the characters personalities. Disappointing to see.
That's not what I've heard
This needs to come to PC
Too many games to buy, slow down please!!!!
why does every game journalist have to sound like a pretentious gay guy now
Guys, please use someone who actually plays the games to do the VO...
yea this whole voice over a written review is kinda weird, their reviews used to be very real and raw, and it seems like theyve gone the way of ign and lost their genuine thoughts of games and reviews and have relegated them to reading a pre written review "script" pretty sad as this channel used to be my GO TO for a real, honest, and non sponsored review team, but looks like theyve sold out as well.
Ra’por.
Why Vanillaware hates pc so much
very small company and they don't exactly sell millions like other top dog devs like Squeenix to warrant spending for a PC port that may or may not even sell as well. they cater to a niche market.
Bro can’t even pronounce the main characters name right 😂
Also rap port? Sheesh what a mess
Guess I’m just not as cool as you - Azario
@@NoisyPixelNewsno it’s just apparent these are ai articles voiced by someone who can’t pronounce simple words and didn’t even play the game
I mean, Bailey played it, you can read the review here: noisypixel.net/unicorn-overlord-review/
Say what you want about my bad reading, but don’t you dare accuse us of not putting in the work needed to create a proper review. I don’t appreciate it. - Azario
@@omensoffateWhat are you on about?
@@NoisyPixelNews then get someone that can actually pronounce words. If this is you you need to stop it hurts the credibility
remember the game's localization is terrible and is a big reason the narrative sucks
really its a skip if u don't know JP language its just butchered
biggest example is the style of speech, the characters speak normally not "old english" style
What no it not lol. Play the game and form your own opinion lol
Yeah, as I stated in my comment, if the game has nothing to say, has sharp writting, or at the very least is interesting with its theames, then I don't find much of a reason to spen 60 dollars and play this game for a ton of hours. Rather disappointed.
I was thinking that. I played the JP voice and they spoke modern Japanese
@@mikethepokemaster2012 The localization is terrible, follow your own advice. Or are you just a shill that likes to lie?
I'm sure this game isn't perfect, but to rate Triangle Strategy higher than this is criminal. Can't trust NP for SRPGs anymore.
Hearing that makes me want to play Triangle Strategy again.
@@NoisyPixelNews Big fan of masochism, I see
You know us too well
i agree.
8.5 ??? Shame on you noisy pixel . get some reviewers who can appreciate mechanical complexity..
Generous score tbh, this ain't no tactical ogre.
These people are obsessed with narrative and characters in strategy/tactical games is because the relationship mechanics are their sole source of romance. They have little relationship experience with actual women, so they seek parasocial relationships with a video game character, or 'waifu'. This is why 20+ year-old men fawn over characters and plot lines written at a 6th grade reading level.
Deserves way lower for that localization
@@electricant55 Only to perpetually online, drama-magnets whose social behavior revolves around arguing with strangers on the internet.
@@electricant55what no the translation is great if you want bland and boring learn Japanese
Learn how to say archetype. Dude is trying to put me to sleep
learn some fucking manners. your comment is trying to make me lose intelligence
Sorry to hear it has a timer, deal breaker in any video game
Slow ass scrub. Git gud
Vanillaware ran out of money making this game. Only a matter of time till they shut down, or they sell to a publisher.
They always run out of money with each game
@@fayte0618 Which is not a good thing if their game flops
Considering Atlus published it I imagine they provided them a lot of the funds
Bad story and characters is a bummer...
Of course they're "bad" - they're written for teenagers. Video games use simple plot lines and A-to-B dialog intentionally. Try books, movies and plays if you want good stories with well written characters. Your complaint is like saying, "fast food tastes bad."
@@OhYeeeeaaahhhh What you are saying makes absolutly no sense... ;)
I wouldn’t say “bad”, more so just a bit bland.
I’m here for the gameplay anyways. If I want story, I’ll read a novel.
the reviewers voice is so cringe
Call me, I wanna hear your voice - Azario
@@NoisyPixelNews im not under 18 so i dont think you'd be interested
It wasn’t an advance at you. I was just curious if you had the spine to address me directly, and I see you don’t, so have fun interacting with my content. - Azario
@@NoisyPixelNews ok pedo michael cera
@@xRamadayou're so weird
ITSGOOD OR WHAT? IM GOING TO DRIVE TO WALMART TODAY IS IT A GAME TO BUY? TO MUCH GODDMAN TALKING JUST ANSWER
Another game ruined by cringe fanservice.
The art sucks
Get new eyes
Call themselves independant but sounds like an ign shill. Gives ff16 a near perfect score and this an 8.5. Also agrees with ubisoft youll own nothing and be happy. Seriously sounds like a front for an extended ign and gamespot urinalist. Im 40 and im tired of these idiots running gaming into th3 ground. Been jrpging since 1988 motherfucker
Those are 2 very different games.
You say your 40, but you sound like your 12...
Your living proof that age is clearly not a sign of maturity.
@@allthatishere says the shill who supports this garbage. U must not like owning anything and you must love ifn and the message in your gaming. Sorry i remember nes snes ps1, and you idiots have destroyed it
@@allthatishere you must love " independant urnalism" too. Basically an extension of ign and another spreader of hiveminded npc bullshit in the gaming and anime community.
Im sure its good for you and " the modern audience " though. Real people dont want this slop
@@JimC1984 You want to speak of hiveminds, but you're the one using the buzzwords? How are you this twisted over a video game review??
