    Thanks for checking this out! Every once and a while, a unique game comes to me and it really clicks. I'm going to spend so much time playing this it's not even funny. Let me know if you want to see a series on this! Here is the link to check out Unicorn Overlord for yourself: gsght.com/c/46tdo3 All progress you make in the demo carries over to the full release on March 8th!

      @@busterrod Me too! This genre is FINALLY getting the recognition it deserves thanks to Atlus and Vannilaware. As far as I am concerned, Atlus has booted Square Enix right off their throne and taken the mantle of "Kings of JRPGS".

      I'd like you to do more reviews or quick look vids of games you either don't have time to do a lets play of, or plan to play in the future. You are good at breaking down the meat of whats in things in a just the facts way that neither puts the game down nor overly hypes it.

However, this game is easily my GOTY, was some of the most fun ive had in a while, after finishing the tutorial I switched to Expert difficulty and 100%'d the entire game, and loved it from start to finish.

  • @tacticsogreman
    @tacticsogreman 10 місяців тому +1

    I think this game clicked for you precisely because other "gems" didn't. The story.
    I'm a huge fan of Tactics Ogre (as one might guess from the avatar). Been playing since the original on sfc, so that's close to 30 years. Absolutely love the latest remake, btw.
    It was always the story for me. The grim political shenanigans. That said, Triangle Strategy failed spectacularly to deliver what it promised. Story is ultra weak and irritating. I can write an essay, but I won't lol
    Unicorn Overlord though, it went back to the roots, so to speak. Good old classic high fantasy Tolkien style. Enemy is vile and evil, maidens are beautiful (in a way lol), men are brave and you got ancient evil to defeat.
    So there's no worry about story trying edgy stuff just to fall on its face later on. It's not Game of Thrones, and thus have the cozy feel to it. You know what to expect and can focus on fun mechanics. That's what I think.

    They really accomplished something with this game it seems. It is super easy to pick up and understand but still has a ton of depth and looks gorgeous. I hope the full game has enough variety and content to keep the momentum going because the demo alone is so much fun.
    Finally a really promising looking strategy game from start to finish. I wanted to love Triangle Strategy for example but the content felt quickly very shallow and the scope of the story was just ridiculous (it's just one tiny territory with somehow 4 armies at play? made 0 sense).

    I would like to be a Unicorn Overlord
    Seriously though, I've been a fan of this genre since the 90's and this game has been number one on my radar since I first heard about it last year. I can't WAIT for the full release, and yes, I'd love to see you create more content for this game. Super glad you, and hopefully many others, are getting on board and will enjoy this game!

    I mean, I want to be a Unicorn Overlord, that sounds pretty interesting!!! Also, are unicorns kind of under-exploded in fiction? Al that to say, after everything you said about this game, at the very least a mini-series sounds awesome!!! Hope to see and hear more about it! 😁

    Ogre Battle 64 is in my top 3 games of all time, and this game is the first game i've played in a long time that recaptures that initial feeling that i had playing that game as a kid. Symphony of war and those other games exist, but this game is a true spiritual successor, and i cant wait for tmmws launch.
