Come 8 March 2024, tactical RPG fans will get to enjoy a Tactics Ogre-esque tactical RPG from Vanillaware, the creators of 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and Odin Sphere. Specially developed for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Sorry, PC gamers, perhaps you’ll have to wait for a little longer to enjoy the port!

Is this the rebirth of tactical fantasy RPGs? Let’s find out!

Blending timeless tactical RPG manoeuvres with innovative gameplay elements and an overworld exploration setting, Unicorn Overlord looks set to satisfy veteran tactical RPG gamers and newcomers alike!

The story takes place on the continent of Fevrith, a land home to five nations. After Cornia’s General Valmore revolts against his nation’s royal family, he starts a war that will soon tear the entire continent apart. Alain, prince of Cornia, flees from his home during this uprising and is chosen to lead the Liberation Army. With the legendary Ring of the Unicorn in hand, Alain raises the flag of rebellion to lead his people to freedom.

What’s more, players can now groom a total of 60 unique characters, from humans to elves to angels to massive beasts! Are there romance options, you ask? Well, the answer is YES:)

We like how Unicorn Overlord allows players the freedom to choose their paths, decide on the routes to venture and battles to fight – it looks like a far cry from the legendary Final Fantasy Tactics but let’s see how Unicorn Overlord fares^^

Strategic game play that pits our wits with AI.

Oh, and one more thing – Unicorn Overlord features the much-beloved PVP system – so that you can battle to your heart’s content with real human strategists all around the world! How awesome is that?
