radiofloyd Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Newest game from Vanillware, seems like Fire Emblem meets Heroes of Might and Magic. https://www.gematsu.com/2023/09/atlus-and-vanillaware-announce-tactical-rpg-unicorn-overlord-for-ps5-ps4-switch-and-xbox-series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I laughed out loud when they showed the title but it looks really nice in every other aspect. Very distinctly Vanillaware, too. Was confident they were doing it roughly five seconds into the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 The special edition of this comes with its own card game: I don't know if it uses its own proper ruleset (but I would guess it does), but that's definitely a unique and cool extra. Maybe US-only though, haven't seen any info on that yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The nisa store over here might end up doing it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 I've seen it on amazon etc., so yeah, seems like it's coming to Europe as well. They just released a video explaining the rules, seems elaborate: Whether or not it's actually fun, still think it's a really sweet idea. I wonder how it came to be, it's hardly part of the usual collector's edition content template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted February 21, 2024 Share Posted February 21, 2024 So I haven't played enough of the demo to warrant making a topic for it, but this is absolute quality stuff. It's polished to the last pixel, has a superb soundtrack and its new twist on the tactical RPG genre is really easy to grasp but has immense depth. It's also masterfully optimised for Switch and runs at 60fps both docked and in handheld. Granted I've only played 30 minutes but if it stays on that level for its full duration I wouldn't be surprised to see this pop up in the GOTY discussions this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted February 28, 2024 Share Posted February 28, 2024 I’d utterly no idea what this was. After playing the demo for an hour, I’ve preordered this. It looks absolutely gorgeous, is super satisfying to play. Yeah, this should be awesome. Jesus, 2024. You’re as relentless as 2023 was 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted March 11, 2024 Share Posted March 11, 2024 There's been a potentially interesting thing about this game's Day One patch: https://nintendoeverything.com/unicorn-overlord-day-one-update-to-add-normal-difficulty-and-more/ So in short, they made the game easier across the board, on every difficulty level, after receiving some last-minute QA feedback. That in itself isn't particularly noteworthy, but that also means that retail version of the game has the 'original' code on it, kind of like a pre-emptive 'Master Quest' version of the game. Usually unpatched games aren't particularly desirable, but this sounds like a cool little thing that's also exclusive to the retail version.

AndyKurosaki Posted March 11, 2024 Share Posted March 11, 2024 I haven’t found it overly difficult yet, though I did read an article that basically said “This boss is ridiculously difficult if you don’t do this specific pattern”. Well, I managed the notorious Velius fight in Final Fantasy Tactics. So i should be ok… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted September 25, 2024 Share Posted September 25, 2024 One million troops unicorns: https://x.com/Atlus_West/status/1838385009322758274 Doesn't sound like much at first because we're so used to these massive multi-million phenomenas now but for a niche Vanillaware game that's a pretty solid number. So far also still the best game I've played this year, even if I did pause it a couple of months ago to get into some other stuff. But I'll go back to it soon enough.

HandsomeDead Posted September 25, 2024 Share Posted September 25, 2024 I was curious how well 13 Sentinels did and that hit a million too so I hope they can keep this up and stay around. I don't know if they'll ever break out with a Nier Automata or Persona 5 but it'd be cool if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
