Unicorn Overlord is an outstanding tactical fantasy strategy game created by Atlus and Vanillaware. If you like games like Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem, you’re in for a real treat. I have spent over 100 hours playing this game myself and it is definitely one of my favorite games of all time. The only thing I can complain about is that I regret that it was not also released on PC. Officially, IGN gave Unicorn Overload an “Amazing” rating of 9/10. You can read our Unicorn Overload review to see why it’s one of the best console strategy games in recent history. Here’s reviewer Eric Zalewski’s final verdict:
“Thinking about the incredibly diverse and incredibly creative world I explored during my 45-hour journey, any issues I had with Unicorn Overlord seemed like nothing more than minor issues. The tactical combat system is unique and complex, yet easy to understand, skillfully combining mechanics from many other players with clever new additions. The interesting terrain on the continent of Fevrith makes every fight unique, and there are some of the best map tricks I’ve seen in any strategic RPG. Told through the eyes of a diverse and creative cast, the tropes-heavy fantasy story is elevated in ways that more traditional storytelling styles simply couldn’t. The shorter, more personal stories wonderfully support the exploration-and-liberation loop that left me begging for just one more story to be told, one more city to be rebuilt, and one more battle to be fought.”
