    A Deep Tactical RPG Experience!

    Unicorn Overlord excels as a tactical RPG, offering deep strategic gameplay with its row-based combat, adaptable Tactics feature, similar to Final Fantasy 12's Gambit system. The dynamic world map and multiple storylines boost replay value, while VanillaWare's visuals and soundtrack enhance immersion. Despite a potential learning curve and complexity that might overwhelm some players, the game's gripping narrative, impactful choices, and talented seiyuu cast make it a must-own for tactical RPG fans.

    Another Great Game from Vanillaware

    Great art direction and 2D sprites from Vanillaware. No surprise there. Gameplay is great, aside from some bosses in endgame that require you to change your strategy to focus on two strong teams instead of a more spread out mix of teams encouraged in the beginning. Story is OK. Serves the gameplay well. Perfect for Switch.

    Loved it!

    One of the most unique art style ttrpgs ove had the pleasure of playing. The unit building can be a little overwhelming late game but you can put whatever together and it usually works.

FINAL FANTASY TACTICS –The Ivalice Chronicles - Nintendo Switch

Ivalice—a kingdom blessed by the light of the gods and ruled by the Two-headed Lion. A year after her defeat to Ordallia in the Fifty Years' War, the king succumbed to malady, leaving a mere boy of two to ascend the throne. Whoever was named regent would rule in truth and thus emerged two rival candidates: dukes Goltanna and Larg, whose deeds during the war had earned them great renown. Goltanna the Black Lion and Larg the White Lion were destined to clash, and the resulting conflict would come to be known as the War of the Lions. Against this backdrop appear Ramza, third son of House Beoulve, one of Ivalice's leading military families, and his childhood companion Delita, a commoner raised amongst nobles. As they endeavor to chart a course through this tumultuous age, a mighty current draws them ever closer to the abyss.
