- Vanillaware and Atlus do it again, Unicorn Overlord, like 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim, is a masterpiece. Will you be picking up this strategy RPG? I think it's a must buy, but I do have a warnings!
Liberate Your Kingdom, Reclaim Your Destiny
From the masterminds that brought 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and Odin Sphere, ATLUS x Vanillaware presents the rebirth of tactical fantasy RPG. Fight against fate and embark on a royal adventure to regain your reign alongside trustworthy allies.
Unicorn Overlord combines the timeless tactical RPG genre with overworld exploration and innovative battle system for a unique epic fantasy experience in the iconic Vanillaware style.
Key Features:
· Traverse a vibrant world, assemble units and direct them into exquisitely animated battles
· Perform heroic deeds and grow renown throughout the five nations
· Cultivate a grand army with over 60 unique characters, from humans and elves to massive beasts and heavenly angels
UNIT CUSTOMIZATION
Players can customize their party as they see fit, recruiting allies from different backgrounds.
BATTLEFIELD: STAGE
Within each battle stage, both sides will fight to take each other's command posts in thrilling real-time combat. You, the commander, must keep a close eye on the situation, making critical decisions like which units to send when or where. Victory is secured once you've clear certain conditions, such as defeating the enemy general.
BATTLE
Individual battles begin when your units make contact with the enemy during a battle stage. Coordinate a unit's tactics in advance with conditions that determine how and when skills will automatically be used. Balance your allies' classes and skills to form the strongest units for any situation!
KINGDOM OF CORNIA
Located in the center of the continent, Cornia claims fertile fields, a powerful military force, and the largest acreage of land out of all five kingdoms. The lords of the kingdom hold great loyalty to the royal family, and Queen Ilenia's name is sacred to her subjects.

Unicorn Overlord is a Masterpiece | Nintendo Switch Review
#switchcorner #unicornoverlord #nintendoswitch - Hry
Say no more fam. I tried the demo. I really like it. Im definitely getting this.
Same
Rather disappointed by the subpar narrative. Saving my money on this one.
@@DoodlePrinceyour loss bud, less narrative is far from a deal breaker in my eyes.
There's already a demo?! Gonna getsum
@@maxpavitt7859 yeaaah! Getsum!
The game is EXCELLENT !
One flaw ? The Monarch Edition is already running out !
Thr switch version went out fast. There is currently plenty of ps5 versions on amazon which I nabbed.
Indeed. Its not every day an instant classic that will be fondly praised for decades to come is born!
This is one of those games that is so deceptively simple yet can become so complex when you start learning its systems. Praise to vanillaware for developing this absolute gem!
I don't normally play this genre of game, but MAN! I really like the look of this...
The graphics are BEAUTIFUL
(and I'm a very shallow person!)
Get into the SRPGs!!!
I recently started playing 13 Sentinels, and watched your 10/10 review. You were absolutely right! Vanillaware really knows what they’re doing, UO is going to the top of my wishlist!
I love the way the witches sway their hips while idle. Such a cool game with that Japanese quirkiness.
I have about thirty minutes left on the demo, but I think I'm going to have to buy this gem.
I pre-ordered the collector's edition for switch right when i heard vanillaware are doing this game. Glad to see my faith was rewarded.
i waited about 3 weeks after it was announced to preorder the CE. Those editions will sell out fairly quickly.
You got an early copy for review?! Nice! I just finished donwloading the demo for this. Cant wait to try it! 😋
The demo is massive as well so should give you a great idea
Demo is like 25% of the game
Massive demo. I like the sound of that. I still havent played it yet. A problem i intend to remedy soon.
I was the weird kid who loved ogre battle 64 and none of my friends really go the appeal of the auto battles. So glad vanillaware made this and gave me essentially not only a spiritual successor but potentially a masterpiece to boot
Glad to see others were getting Ogre Battle vibes out of this.
I played the demo 3 times- can’t wait for the full thing tomorrow
The game is practically crack, addictive as all hell and one of the greatest tactical JRPG's ever made..
The only thing better would have been a PC release,but the Switch version is gorgeous as well!
One question : is there a new game + or the game just stop at the end ?
Got it pre ordered picking up my copy tomorrow.
Hey brother, great review. In-depth detailed breakdown. Game definitely looks great in all aspects.
I'm so excited for this game!! Hoping to grab the game tomorrow
Took a quick break from Rebirth to play the demo and I’m totally digging it!
Definitely going to. Just hoping it's lengthy enough as I like the longer games. Main story being shorter I don't mind but the total "see the sights and smell the flowers" kind of gameplay reaching over 100h per one playthrough and I'm good.
Briefly tried the demo earlier and found it suitable for my tastes.
Can't wait to get it. I was too late to preorder it in store so I wouldn't have to wait for a week for the mail version to show up so I am taking the risk of waiting till midnight to buy it online for in store at Best Buy for when it opens tomorrow.
Arrived today, looking forward to tucking in
you're gonna love it
The only thing I wish to know is if the card game from the collector's edition is present in the game.
I've only played the demo, but the game already feels like a masterpiece.
I literally just ordered the collector's edition after this review, alongside Resonant Arc's. This seems worth the investment and I want to make sure to speak with my wallet here, Vanillaware is god tier, they did it again!
Did you try the demo?
Amazing review Alex so glad you are enjoying the game so much. After hearing the story of how much blood sweat and tears went into this I am so thrilled to see it getting such incredible reviews and respect
Yep this one was 10 years in the making and a huge amount of respect from me for it, talk about quality
I heard that in Japan stores ran out of physical copies
Ok I am sold. Getting it!
What does the post-game look like?
The overworld battles are not necesary to wipe them out because you get the honors when liberating the area but I found it fun to solve the puzzle to destroy them.
Looks awesome!! Would you recommend the PS5 or Switch version?
Both versions perform nearly identical. Though many will find it more appealing to take it with you on the go for this type of game.
Can someone tell me how you can promote classes in the full game ? My Alain is at lv15 but I can't seem to figure it out
You need renown B and then it should be a option at a fort iirc
Thank god its good the embargo was getting tso long that i was getting worried that it had a hidden fatal flaw that we couldnt see in the demo
I received my copy 3 days early. Im 25 hours in and yes its a masterpiece. Better than any fire emblem game and i have played them all
This gaming is smashing all expectations out of the water!
4 demo runs so far, all expert. Can't wait to play without skipping every cutscene and running around the overworld like a complete madman......Werewolf squad were you at!!!???
Definitely picking this one up.
Can't wait to snag it tomorrow
Solid review, download demo now!
It makes things real easy when there's a demo available. Just know the demo is the opening hours so it doesn't reflect the difficulty the game ramps too as I think many have walked away thinking the game is easy
Wow! I must say that from the video I got a Sword of the Vagrant vibe, but it's not at all like that. Very cool!
great review, vanillaware NEVER misses. about to hop in myself, could not be more excited.
Sounds challenging, looks good, probably will buy this.
Loving it! I played ogre battle saga as a kid and to this day ogre battle 64 is my favorite of all time! When I saw this game's preview and saw "ATLUS" I knew it was gonna be good! It's literally ogre battle brought up to date!
I might try it
I'm still deciding between Unicorn Overlord vs Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection. Omg, this is tough.
Get Unicorn Overlord!!
@@JagsTheGamer I know! I'm an JRPG fan, but the star wars fan in me wants to get the battlefront classic collection! I'm stuck lol.
@@leorojas6390dont waste your money on that crap, its just a stolen mod and texture pack with a 30 dollar price tag. get unicorn overlord trust me.
@@leorojas6390you'll definitely get more hours out of UO. You can always get the battlefront collection afterwards if it's for nostalgia :)
I wish Vanillaware had stuff on PC :(
I'm so glad I have a PS5 and a Switch for that reason alone.
Ryujinx emulator = game runs faster, looks better than switch version. aaaaaaaand it's free. :p that's what they get for not releasing on pc :)
@@Hemphempmind I won't emulate this game.
Reminds me of ogre battle march of the black queen. Looks great.
What are the other 10/10 games outside of 13 Sentinels?
Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Tetris Effect Connected, and Persona 4 Golden
I can’t recommend this game enough. It’s so insanely beautiful, fun, immersive and all around just outstanding.
My only (extremely small) nitpick is that the game could be a bit harder on the highest difficulty. I’m saying that as somebody who regularly plays SRPGs though.
It’s still an easy 10/10.
I had such a hype for this game, i don't know what happened, played the demo and it was like "ok, this game is not for me", found it too slow, very repetitive, kinda easy too, it's very beautiful thoug, maybe i will change my mind by watching some gameplays after its release.
One of the best demos I've ever played
When I get this game, I'll never see the sun again. These games are where I can upgrade every character for no reason but I can be my shot-in-the-arm drug.
This game is everything i imagine a modern ogre battle would be like.
Amazing game
The demo was fantastic. My Monarch Edition will arrive in the next two days and then I'll be happy to just get lost in the world and systems
I'm definitely picking this up on PS5
One more day y’all!!
Ok Vanillaware. Unicorn Overlord is a truly masterpiece. Now bring Odin's Sphere and Muramasa to Switch, should be fun too.
what's the fps on Switch???
perfect. it's actually hard to believe. try the demo
The only noticeable difference between Switch and other platforms is load times, which itself is negligible.
So far i play no fps down, smooth
To actually answer your question, it's 60 FPS
got the game early beat it and i gotta disagree while i think its good theres quite a few things i have issue with
1. no ng+ (this is my main issue)
2. its another game that gives something amazing as a post game reward but gives you nothing to use it on
3. pvp if its anything like where it takes place its gonna end up like disgaea 7 and disgaea rpgs pvp where it will just ends being one team pretty much everyone uses but really why im listing it is because its really the only place to use that post game reward but theres no real point for someone like me that doesnt bother with pvp
4. real short and nowhere near 100 hours for completion its another game where if i play on the easiest setting i can complete it in around 40 hours which i did lol
5. outside story and character recruitment stages pretty much every other map (and even some recruitment maps) are real small and short where all i had to do was rush to the boss and usually lasted less than a minute
6. ive got no real urge to replay it especially form scratch
in no way would i say unicorn overlord is a masterpiece to me a masterpiece is a 10/10 game and unicorn overlord is a solid 7/10 at best what i will say though is its by far the best vanillaware game and the only one ive played that i actually enjoyed
It’s my best game of 2024 so far also!
I got the Monarch Edition. It's a bit of a bitch to get in Canada but I'm super happy with it. This game went from not being on my radar at all to me picking up the collectors edition LOL
Playing it days a go on PC with Ryujinx. Better graphics and FPS, oh yeah!!!
Thanks for releasing this for free on Switch Ultra, Atlus. Don't mind the PC release next time ok? :)
This will probably be my goty just because it reminds me of a weaker version of ogre battle.
You know a game is good when it gets 10 from someone who rarely ever gives out a perfect score
Vanillaware/ATLUS NEVER miss!!
Christoph Waltz is right. This game is excellent.
Tried demo. 2 hours in. Immediately bought it online.
30 hours later. Nuff said
Scratched my DragonForce/ogre battle itch.
The game is a 🔥🔥
Great game long live sega and atlus
ATLUS publishes only A tier games
A masterpiece that I can't play because it's not released on PC.. I'm so fucking pissed off
emulation... maybe
Poke the algo. Great review. 🎉
GREAT GAME 💯👍
I mean this in a kind way.
You sound like you are delivering the 6 o'clock news.
Whatever your natural voice and intonation is, use it and use it clearly with confidence. I guarantee it will be more than enough to make honest sounding reviews.
It's something I'm always trying to work on as I know it's a shortcoming of the channel. I think moving as well, from UK, to America, made me even more paranoid about my accent. On top of this, I recorded this video at 4am in the morning, took up to the wire to wrap it up
@@SwitchCorner just be yourself and don't listen to these tools.
@@kraenk12the irony, haha. That's exactly what I'm suggesting. Relax mate!
@SwitchCorner Don't worry about your accent, it's the Americans that talk funny 🙂
@@SwitchCorner I know what it's like to be conscious of you accent! I also know what it's like to hit deadlines like that (I work in games)
You clearly know your stuff and understand how to make things informative. Not worried about that. Imagine you were talking to your mate, how would you sound? Good luck dude, cheers for the review
Best game you've played in 2024, huh? You, sir, have clearly not yet partaken in the addiction, I mean, experience of pure bliss that is Balatro. A problem which should be remedied at your earliest possible convenience.
That said, I am tempted to give this game a try. I'm not entirely sure whether it's for me, but it might be worth a shot. If I can tear myself away from... Ba...la...tro....
Paid for and downloaded Belataro last week when I found out it had been removed in some regions, it's going to be covered soon
@@SwitchCorner Sweet. Really excited to see your coverage of the game. I hope the ratings mess gets sorted soon. Kind of ridiculous that a single purchase game which simply includes the genre-required elements of risk vs reward (a la Slay the Spire, etc) is labeled as promoting gambling, but games that strongly "encourage" spending real money on loot boxes are not. I'm just impressed Balatro has managed to snag a top seller slot (and sell over half a million copies in ten days) despite being hard to get in so many places. Guess the cream really does rise to the top.
Agreed. From what I'm reading they have a thing against real playing cards and the idea of hands. I figured if wouldn't reach us but I still wanted to download it just incase
@@SwitchCorner Good idea. Funny how Clubhouse Games: 51, which has literal poker (and Blackjack), is listed everywhere, but Balatro is not. Guess it's easier to go after small indie devs than big companies like Nintendo? Regardless, I appreciate you giving the Switch port a bit of coverage. Every review helps.
@@nicked_fenyxIf only I could visit a casino and score 4,205e153 😂
I thought 13 sentinels was pretty bad. Awful combat. Weeby silly story. Ott acting. Is this better? Different?
Yes, a lot better. All the focus is on the gameplay 👍🏾
Looks cool but not for me
Great review, but I dont agree its a Masterpiece.
The combat is awful, whats the point of showing it in videos if you have no input during the battle itself? The option to skip it is there for a reason.
Hope they had gone for another style, sonething like Heroes of Might and Magic would have been great.
I recommed everyone to try the Demo and see for yourself if its somethi g that you like, I got bored really fast.
i dont care about this game at all
REMINDER localization is butchered
does remove things and change characterization which of course means screwing over characters, so if u don't like a character largely its by that bad localization
even the way they speak is made up, they just speak normal modern than pretentious ye old english
Did you hear this from a random tweet by some chance or a few angry people on reddit? Checked in with a few folks that speak Japanese regarding the localization and they had no issues with it. Only one was online but I quote from when I asked as it's the only one I can reference: 'The OP in question clearly used MTL in their examples and doesn't have a true grasp on the language; I'd like to think there's room to discuss translation quality, this ain't it.' - I trust this individual a huge amount as they've pointed out a fair few problematic translations in the past
Already I like this game a lot more than the overrated Persona 5.
When western gaming is on the hands of psychos like sweet baby inc, leave it to japanese devs to make great games
Sad little snowflakes you are.
Nintendo did stop it from crashing in the 80s. It was always gameplay first. Even Chinese gacha games understand this. Why can't can't the west understand live service? Me3 multiplayer would have been great ls.
A warning to all people watching glowing reviews of this game: do not believe it; this game is mediocre at best. It is not complete trash but it is not a masterpiece either; not even close
Ratings are a generalization. On the other hand, never trust Nintendo Switch channels. The rating bias is insane. Anything a Switch channel says is 1-2 points lower out of ten.
Wrong😂
I didn't even respond, I've seen some stupid comments in my time but the never trust nintendo switch channels bit was a new level. Most these channels, Including me, also run channels for other platforms so what does that mean, when we go to switch our scores somehow change
bro, why are you talking like a reporter? No one talks like that in real life.
Because he’s presenting information. Same as reporters.
It sucks
The art sucks
