Item Description

Vanillaware has spent two decades crafting some of the most lavish 2D art in games, from Odin Sphere to 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. With Unicorn Overlord, the studio turned that artistry toward the grand, army-scale tactical fantasy of the 1990s, the tradition of games like Ogre Battle, and the result is a strategy RPG with the depth to match its looks.

You lead Alain, the exiled prince of Cornia. As a child he was smuggled to safety, along with the Ring of the Unicorn, by Josef, a guard loyal to his mother, Queen Ilenia, while she made her last stand against General Valmore. Valmore has since remade himself as Galerius, ruler of the Zenoiran Empire, and Alain's Liberation Army must sweep across five nations to undo his conquest: Cornia, Drakenhold, the elven realm of Elheim, the beastmen's Bastorias and Albion, ruled by angels.

Battles work on two levels. On the map, you move units across sprawling battlefields in real time, pausing whenever you like to issue new orders, with Valor earned through combat determining how many units you can field. When two units collide, the fight resolves automatically, driven by how you have built each squad: up to five characters arranged on a small grid, where front-line and back-line placement matters, each one following conditional tactics you set in advance. With more than 60 recruitable characters, from humans and elves to massive beasts and heavenly angels, the room for experimentation is enormous.

Between battles the overworld is open to explore, with towns, blacksmiths, merchants and side quests. Mitsuhiro Kaneda led Basiscape's team on the soundtrack, and the sprite work is classic Vanillaware: huge, hand-painted characters animated with remarkable fluidity. It earned a Metacritic score of 89 on Switch, its highest on any platform, and passed a million copies sold within about six months. It plays like the long-lost sequel to a 16-bit favorite, built with a level of polish that era could only dream of.
