@@yoh7422 yup. I'd say its 2/3 or 3/4 visual novel and 1/4 or 1/3 trpg. I made a review of the gameplay in a comment somewhere else in the comment section here. Trying to encourage 89 to check it out.
Esse foi o melhor rpg tático que ja joguei ate. Na verdade está sendo o melhor, pois ainda estou no início do jogo e completamente viciado. Uma mecânica maravilhosa, arte belíssima e que respeita o tempo do jogador. 10/10 ❤
Party-wide AOE = too good lol, but yeah, it's a modernized Ogre Battle, which is great! I love it (Also wished the timer didn't force me to rush/yolo every map though)
I'm sure you already know my thoughts on UO. lets leave it at its 1 of the GOATs of TRPGs. Minimum top 3. I'm here though to talk about another vanillaware masterpiece: 13 sentinels. Been hooked on this game recently and i want to talk about its "maligned" gameplay. Top 5 insights: 1. I'm playing on intense (hardest difficulty for NG) and yes its too easy. But thats me. I know what i'm doing. Others who go in blind (i did know the game likes to send hordes over tough enemies so AOE is king) may have difficulty. The difficulty reminds me of diofield chronicle. Its not so much that you'll lose. Its just about how long the battle takes. Havent been challenged yet 1/3 the way into the game. 2. and #1 is a disappointment because man the systems are meaty. Theres so many ways to customize: sentinel upgrades, gear unlock/upgrades, pilot skills, have 13 party members available early, 4 sentinel types (essentially classes) and customizing your tower (aegis) which can give a variety of party buffs like increased resource drops (meta-chips), party buffs, party heals, massive aoe burst dmg, etc. 3. Interesting mechanic that forces you to use other sentinels. Every time you use a party member as part of the attack team, the pilot's fatigue (BOL) increases. When it hits max, you cant use them for 1 battle. The fatigue meter increases quick. Like after 2-3 battles its maxed. 5. And the game gives you options. You want to just use a specific party? Sure. You can remove fatigue by spending resources and killing your streak.meter. if you have an ongoing streak meter then your rewards are increased post fight. So theres a very in-depth system. Too bad the game doesnt really make you have to think/research because the difficulty isnt too tough early on. Could change later. So yeah if you want to play an all melee team even if its ineffective because its fun for you, you can. Want to play all support? sure. You still have enough to clear the battles as long as you arent afrer S-rank finishes like i am. Anyway just thought i'd share. Perhaps it'll entice you to check it out. Haha. So yeah great customization, challenge is meh early (i recommend playing it on intense) and as mentioned previously, the story is EXCELLENT. like better than triangle strategy, FFT, etc. another masterpiece.
@@89Games yeah i got mine brand new but i bought it from a re-seller who sold it for $33 but it was sealed so i still got those bonus art cards inside (love this by vanillaware by the way. These little freebies. I got a calling card case when i bought UO). Definitely highly recommended. I now understand what the hype is about. only gripe so far is perhaps a harder difficulty setting (essentially a true zenoiran). That could come later though. I am about 1/3 the way in. I havent researched if there's an NG+ difficulty.
Unicorn Overlord is a masterpiece in every regard, I think I'm on my 11th straight playthrough🤔
Great vid, I'm glad you also have a playthrough uploaded
Best SRPG for me since FFT.
I'd say this, FFT and Triangle strategy are the top 3 GOATs of the trpg genre. And in the modern era, IMO, UO is #1.
@@TheRobversion1 Yeah Triangle is awesome too! Agreed.

@@TheRobversion1 It is I just counted it more as a story game. But the gameplay was also fun.

Sounds interesting for sure, though I think I might wait for a sale. Trying to be frugal lol

absolutely loved this game, platinum was way too easy to get tho.. 10/10
Fun game but still, it's a revamped OGRE BATTLE with less content. Hopefully, it will bring back the genre.
I'd love to see more in the genre for sure!
