Unicorn Overlord Switch Review

  • I have a soft spot for both Strategy and RPGs and absolutely adore games like the Fire Emblem series. But what if there was a game that somehow went even more in-depth to provide a real-time strategy / RPG experience while telling a story of war, treachery, and most important of all... hope? Unicorn Overlord is the latest offering from Vanillaware, a developer with a solid pedigree in crafting deep worlds with well-thought-out gameplay, and admittedly, is the first game I have played from them. What's It Like? Check your battle maps, select your units, and march forward as we review Unicorn Overlord for Nintendo Switch.

      @kevinbrown5370 I get it 100% If it helps I don't accept paid promotions as it's a conflict of interest, and I always disclose if I get a review copy when I say the score. I hope you enjoy the demo and the game as much as I did!

      @@whatsitlikeau If you don't mind retro graphics, Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen (the game this one is a spiritual successor too) is very good as well. Because few as they are, these games always leaving you wanting more when you finish them.

      Graphics dont mean much to me as I'm a bit old school myself and absolutely loved playing the re-release of Golden Sun. I'll see if I can track down Ogre Battle. What platforms is it on?

    It does seem interesting but honestly with the Elden Ring DLC just around the corner, $60 is a steep price tag. I'll wait for it to go on sale before purchasing.

      Its definitely the most expensive game I've ever purchased that's not a collectors edition, But honestly it's easily the best game I've reviewed on Switch. That being said Elden Ring was something else!
