Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ive played the demo at random and im so glad i did because i ended up loving it so much. It reminds me of fire emblem and many other games. The animations is so great. Story is great. everything is great! Give this game a chance through the demo if anybody is on the fence. But im happy this is in my collection

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.

Excellent game! Can be a bit overwhelming at first, but the gameplay is solid and fun. Lots of side content to do, and liberating towns is very rewarding. Highly reccomend!

A stylish and gorgeous looking game that reminds of the days on the PlayStation 2. Definitely worth adding to your Switch collection.

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.

The game came in perfect condition. My pick up service was fast and efficient. The game is a must try if you’re an avid rpg player.

Addicting battles and fight animation with a decent story to encompass the world. Its a different type of RPG, I recommend watching reviews or gameplay before deciding to purchase.

The innovation of integrating autobattling into normal strategy combat really creates the feeling of commanding an army battle. I hope fire emblem incorporates this in future games. Great memorable characters

I tried this and had to get a copy. Very fun game!

Very good game, Definitely recommend for any RPG fan out there

Unicorn Overlord is one of the best strategy games I've played in years. Solid story, good voice acting, wide array of unit types, and the game play is rock solid. I already want a sequel and would love the see the gameplay adapted to a sci-fi story as well.

Just a wonderful, beautiful game with a long and satisfying campaign. Anyone with a passing interest in strategy RPGs needs to play this as its a bona-fide instant classic for the genre and arguably Vanillaware's best game yet, and certainly their biggest. There are really only a few somewhat small criticisms I think can be levied at Unicorn Overlord. First the narrative, which has been pointed out in most reviews, is fairly derivative. However the dialogue is well written and the voicework is also quite good. The story just isnt going to blow you away and doesn't nearly approach the narrative level of Vanillaware's last game, 13 Sentinels. Second, the game might be a little too easy on anything but the hardest difficulty. You may find after sinking hours in with the game that you are just trouncing through it unchalleneged and perhaps wishing you started on the hardest mode. Part of what makes the game so rewarding is carefully building your teams and approaching battles strategically. Very casual players may not mind not having to tweak and plan as much, however, so its good the the lower difficulty options are present. Lastly the game does suffer from some inventory management woes later in the game. When you have 50+ units to equip and optimize it can be a little overwhelming sorting through all the equipment! Overall the slight weak points with UO do not at all detract from the whole of the experience. Hopefully this game will be VW's most successful game yet and bless us with a sequel.

Great game. Has a nice game loop. Troop and equipment setup can feel a bit overwhelming but you get use to it. Story, voice acting, music, and animation is fantastic!

My personal game of year for 2024. Great strategy gameplay. Beautiful artwork. Fantastic music.

Been looking for a good SRPG. This game more than satisfies that itch. Vanillaware artwork is fantastic.

This has been an experience, I tend to buy games and leave it on a shelf. So for a trip I started playing this one and boy have I been hooked. So far 35 hours in still havent gotten halfway into the game and also am an over grinder/leveler in games. There is so much to explore and do. And for some fights getting special dialogue options at certain points and at times with certain characters in units. Would highly reccommend it to anyone who loves strategy games or someone looking to take a dip into it.

Unicorn Overlord is a beautiful and richly detailed tactical RPG that’s worth the purchase for any fan of the genre. It takes a little time to get used to the mechanics, but once everything clicks, the gameplay becomes incredibly satisfying. The world is vibrant and full of charm, with a wide variety of characters to recruit and customize. The story is deep and well-written, with strong pacing that kept me engaged throughout my adventure. The blend of overworld exploration and tactical combat feels fresh and different from other strategy games. Battles are strategic and visually stunning thanks to Vanillaware’s signature art style. Building your army and watching them grow across the five nations is both fun and rewarding. This is a great addition to the Nintendo Switch library and a must-play for RPG lovers.

Great game, dumb name. 10/10. I recommend it to anyone who likes final fantasy tactics, fire emblem, ogre battle etc.. It's breath of fresh air to strategy\tactics fans. If you're on the fence try the demo. It's the first area of the game with a 7-8 hour time limit. If you decide to get the full game you can use the demo save to continue your progress.

Nice NOT fire emblem clone. For $20 it was a steal IMO Had a ton of fun with the characters and a nice mix of feeling like FE7/FE8 on the GBA and having a new mix. Definitely cool overworld map and being able to travel and such in between levels. Not beaten it yet but like 20 hours in and still playing. Some nice fun synergy combos you can do and a lot of ways to customize your units. being able to build your own units is cool too. Uhh what else. Idk I just enjoy it a lot, but I'm a big turn based rpg and fire emblem fan in general. Only thing is none of the character really stick out much, but idk idc about that.

I had a blast with this game, and there's some replay value as well. If you like strategy type games, pick this one up!
